Who wrote the poem "How wide the sky is, how close the trees are, how clear the water is and how close the moon is"? What is the background of his poem?

"How wide the world is, how close the trees are to heaven, and how close the moon is to the water!" From the Tang Dynasty poet Meng Haoran's Sleeping in Jiande. The creation background of this poem is that Meng Haoran, a poet, left his hometown for Luoyang in the 18th year of Kaiyuan, that is, in 730 A.D., and traveled the land of wuyue to relieve his grief and indignation over his unsatisfactory official career. Meng Haoran is from Xiangyang. In the early days, he wanted to be an official, but his career was bumpy. He was disappointed and miserable, so he retired from the mountains and never entered the officialdom again.

The full text of "Sleeping at Jiande" is: When my boat is sailing in the fog, the day is getting darker and the old memory begins. The vastness of the wilderness is deeper than trees, and the moon is very close to the moon. I parked my boat near a small continent, and it looked smoky. When the sun set, a trace of melancholy came to my mind. In this endless wilderness, the distant sky looks deeper than trees, and the clear river and the bright moon seem to love each other.

The whole poem takes "boating at dusk" as the background. Although the word "sorrow" is written in the second sentence, it does not describe the word "sorrow", but emphasizes the description of the scenery. This poem is written to stay overnight, then to add sorrow to the sunset, and finally to the low-altitude moon. What's more, the poet's inner sadness and loneliness are described as "the bright moon is accompanied by people".

Later generations have a lot of comments on this poem. For example, in the interpretation of Tang poetry, it is said: "The guest is worried about the scenery, so the couplet no longer talks about love, but thinks about it." Meaning: The poet's melancholy is born of scenery, so the second sentence does not describe emotion, but shows it from the scenery. It is also written in "Tang Poetry": "In the second half, the tourists who write about the scenery are worried about themselves, and the mouth is endless." Its meaning is the same as that in the interpretation of Tang poetry.
