From: An autumn night in the mountains.
Author: Wang Wei
Dynasty: Tang Dynasty
Original text:
The empty mountains are bathed in a new rain, and feel the early autumn at night.
The bright moon shed clear light from the cracks and cleared the fountain on the rocks.
The bamboo forest is sonorous, the washerwoman returns, and the lotus leaves are swaying to get on the canoe.
Spring spring might as well give it a rest, and the autumn sun can stay on the hills for a long time.
Translation:
After the new rain, the valley is empty and fresh, and the weather is particularly cool in early autumn and evening.
The bright moon reflects the quiet pine forest, and the clear spring water flows on the rocks.
The girl in the bamboo forest came back from washing with a smile, and the lotus leaves swayed in the canoe.
Although the beauty of spring has faded, autumn scenery in front of us is enough to make people linger.
Extended data:
This poem is a masterpiece of landscape, and the description of landscape reflects the poet's noble feelings and pursuit of ideal realm.
The first part is about autumn scenery in the mountains after the rain. Because there are few people here, naturally some people come from Toyama. The word "empty mountain" points out that besides, it is like a paradise. In the early days of Shan Yu, everything was new. It was early autumn evening. It is conceivable that the air is fresh and the scenery is wonderful.
It is already dark, but there is a bright moon in the sky; The flowers have withered, but there are pine trees covered. The mountain spring is clear, flowing through the rocks, like a pure white plain, shining in the moonlight, what a quiet and clear natural beauty!
Wang Wei's Ode to the Four Saints on Economy once praised the noble sentiments of the two sages, saying that "there is no evil wood in the shade, and drinking water must be extreme." The poet himself is such a noble-minded person. Isn't the pine tree and the clear spring on the stone this month the ideal state he is pursuing? These two sentences are picturesque, free and easy, and have little strength.
