Shibanlu road
Hao San Dazhi
First, the stone road
Petals fall like running water, dance with the wind, and scatter on the girl's cheeks and shoulders. In the rain, two girls are talking while walking. Footsteps, perhaps the sound of "katakata" clogs, echoed in the air and then sank. The roof of the temple was bathed in the newly sprouted and moist green light. Facing the bright and dazzling sky, the girls looked up from time to time and walked and chatted. How elegant the scenery is in late spring.
This is the scene described in the famous poem "Slate Road" by Miho Tachi, a modern Japanese poet. Let's discuss where this poem was shot first. Some people say it's in the Huguo Temple compound in bunkyo-ku, Tokyo, while others say it's a temple in Kyoto that the author thinks. But no matter which one, it should be in a quiet temple with a long stone road.
The magic of this poem is that in the last three lines, after the expression "if I am used to the silence of wind chimes", I am associated with "loneliness/I am lonely". If you have a keen sense of language, you should be able to feel the author's deep sense of loneliness, which is in sharp contrast with the girls' appearance in the first half of the poem, leaving only their own lonely shadow and the loneliness of young people walking quietly on the stone road.
