Year: Tang Dynasty
Author: Wang Wei
Genre: five musts
People are idle, osmanthus flowers fall, and the night is quiet and empty.
When the moon comes out, the birds are startled, and the sound enters the spring stream.
This poem mainly describes the quiet scene in the deep mountain canyon at night and expresses the author's love for nature.
It is full of tranquil artistic conception, but Flowers Falling, Birds Singing and Moon Rising are all about silence. It is a very successful landscape poem, just like an ink-and-wash landscape painting with clear lines, which is exactly what Wang Wei is good at "painting in poetry and poetry in painting".
