From Bai Juyi's Ode to Mujiang in Tang Dynasty
A sunset gradually sank into the river, half green and half green.
The loveliest thing is the ninth day of September. The bright pearl's bright crescent moon is shaped like a bow.

A sunset is spreading in the water, half a river is rustling, and half a river is red;
In the evening, the poet captured two different colors on the river under the setting sun, and used microwave to sparkle and change the color, showing the gorgeous scene of the river.
The meaning of this poem is: in the evening, the sunset is about to set and gently sprinkle on the river. The river looks bright red under the setting sun, but the green waves are rolling on it.
On the poor third night in September, the dew is like a real pearl:
Here, the poet compresses the two scenes of heaven and earth in his poems, and creates a harmonious and quiet artistic conception of autumn night by describing the visual images of "dew" and "moon".
The meaning of this poem is: how lovely this night is on the third day of September. Dewdrops on the stems and leaves of grass on the shore are like rare pearls.
Make an appreciative comment
Bai Juyi's works on pure scenery are not many, and this is a well-received poem. The beauty of the whole poem lies in taking two beautiful pictures of nature and combining them. One is the gorgeous scene of the sunset reflected on the river, and the other is the hazy night when the crescent moon rises and the dew is crystal clear. Both of them have their own beautiful scenery, and it is even more exciting to watch them together. Poets also add metaphors to their poems appropriately to make the scenery more vivid. Because this poem permeated the relaxed and happy liberation mood and personality of the poet after he left the court voluntarily, the whole poem became the artistic carrier of the poet's aesthetic psychological function in a specific situation.
