Original: people are idle, osmanthus flowers fall, and the night is quiet and the mountains are empty. When the moon comes out, the birds are startled, and the sound enters the spring stream.
From: Wei's Birding Stream
Interpretation: Silent voice, fragrant osmanthus, falling gently. Castle peak and clear forest are more empty. The bright moon rose, which alarmed several perched mountain birds. The crisp song echoed in the empty mountain stream for a long time.
When Wang Wei's "Bird Sound Stream" was published in Kaiyuan (7 13-74 1), he thought that the Tang Dynasty was a stable, unified and prosperous society. This poem is the first of a series of poems entitled Five Topics of Huangfuyue Yunxi written by Wang Wei's good friend Huangfuyue, who lives in Yunxi Mountain Villa. It is the work of a poet who lives in Wuxi (that is, Ruoshuixi) in the southeast of Shaoxing County.
"When people are idle, sweet-scented osmanthus falls, and the night is quiet and the mountains are empty." They write the scenery with sound and skillfully use synaesthesia techniques to combine the dynamic scene of "flowers falling" with "people being idle". Flowers bloom and fall, all belong to the sound of nature. Only when the heart is really free and the obsession with worldly distractions is put down can the personal spirit be promoted to the realm of "emptiness".
The "Spring Mountain" here has left us a blank of imagination. Because it is a "spring mountain", we can imagine the noisy pictures during the day: beautiful spring, birds and flowers, laughter and laughter. At this time, the night is still, the tourists leave, the noise of the day disappears, and the mountains are idle. In fact, "emptiness" is also the poet's state of mind as a Zen monk. Only when his mood is free and easy can he capture scenes that others can't feel.
