The vernacular interpretation of "Late Autumn Night" by Bai Juyi of the Tang Dynasty:
The bright moon hangs high in the broad night sky and is silent. Under the moonlight, only the sad man wanders alone, alone. The chrysanthemums that gradually withered after blooming leaned against the sparse fence, and the withered sycamore leaves fell on the cold well.
The pheasant outside the Great Wall feels that late autumn is over and flies rapidly from north to south; the neighbor's rooster delays its crow because it knows that the days are short and the nights are long. I kept silent while accumulating emotions and thought in vain. The wind blew the dewdrops off and wet my clothes, making me feel a chill.
Original text:

Sai Hongfei is anxious to realize that autumn is over, and the neighboring chicken crows late to know that the night will last forever.
Concentrating on emotion without words, thoughts are empty, the wind blows and the clothes are white and cold. Extended information
Article Appreciation:
The moonlight is like water, the remaining chrysanthemums are beside the sparse fence, the fallen leaves are falling, the dragon is flying rapidly, the late autumn night is quiet, the cold air is biting, but the poet is concentrating on his reverie. The atmosphere of this poem is cool and quiet, the colors are bright and beautiful, the charm is fresh and meaningful, popular, simple and approachable.
"Late Autumn Night" is a masterpiece that has both elegance and vulgarity, and is both elegant and vulgar. Just as the Qing Dynasty poetry critic Ye Xie commented in "Original Poems": "The white slang is vulgar but the elegance is also in it." This is the case with this poem.
The so-called shallow means that it is simple and popular, catchy, without allusions, and does not use Austrian language; the so-called light means to enter lightly and come out lightly, without strong colors or colorful words; the so-called clear means It means that the atmosphere is refreshing, fresh and clear, not artificial, and natural; the so-called beauty means radiant, innocent and pure, brilliant in literary talent, and beautiful in appearance.
The first couplet writes about a bright moon hanging high in the vast blue sky. It is bright, beautiful and silent, bringing readers into a vast, bright, clear, peaceful and profound realm.
Meditating under the moon, looking into space from a distance, leisurely and fascinated, I can't help but feel lonely and worried, but I have no words to the moon, only the shadow.
Here, the poet outlines the lonely and lonely state of mind. This state of mind is very harmonious in tone with the quiet moonlit night. The couplet says that the chrysanthemums are in bloom. According to common sense, the autumn chrysanthemums are proud of the frost and snow, and stand alone; but at this time, the remaining chrysanthemums are blooming, and they are still leaning against the sparse fence. It can be seen that the withering stage is not far away.
