Poetry praising the beauty of the courtyard

Small Courtyard Author: Tang Yanqian

The small courtyard is deserted at night, and the smoke is turning bright as the moon turns bright.

It is easy to feel melancholy at night, but there is no need to feel separated.

At night when people are quiet, trapping loaches and eels in the ditch surrounding the courtyard and the pond in the courtyard is the most exciting and unforgettable experience. There are drainage ditches around the base of courtyards in the countryside. Over time, eels and loaches live in the stone crevices beside the ditches and in the silt deposited in the ditches. They hide in the caves during the day and come out to feed in the dead of night.
