Original poem:
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:
The empty mountain is bathed in a new rain, and the arrival of night makes people feel that it is early autumn. The moon is clear and clear, and the clear spring is flowing. The bamboo forest was noisy until the washerwoman came back, and the lotus leaves swayed like canoes. The wheat straw in spring might as well let it rest, and the prince and grandson in the mountains can stay in autumn.
Origin: Autumn Night in the Mountains by Wang Wei in the Tang Dynasty.
Poetry appreciation
The first couplet points to the theme, the middle two couplets depict the beauty of Mid-Autumn Festival in the mountains, and the last couplet shows the nostalgia for seclusion in the mountains. This poem not only reveals the quiet and tranquil features of the author's pastoral poetry, but also exudes a certain interest, which is one of his representative works of pastoral poetry. The pen is fresh and natural, without any traces of carving, but it is moist and colorful in the simple nature.
The whole poem rhymes beautifully and is poetic, especially the couplets of "Moonlight in the pine forest, Crystal stone in the stream" and the necklace of "Laundry girl sings in the bamboo, Lotus leaf in front of the fishing boat" are vivid, colorful, dynamic and orderly.
