This is a good example.
The branches of the topmost hibiscus flowers are full of scarlet calyx in the mountains.
Do you know that?/You know what? I don't know.
The mouth of a stream is silent, without a trace. They open and fall.
The hibiscus flowers on the branches bloom bright red calyx in the mountains. The ravine was silent and empty, and it opened and fell.
Creation background
This poem was written before the An Shi Rebellion. Since 736 AD (the 24th year of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty), Zhang Jiuling no longer understood politics. After Li Pai came to power, political affairs were dark and social contradictions became increasingly acute. Although Wang Wei is in North Zhang Jiuling, he is inclined to's enlightened politics, and he is very dissatisfied and helpless with the reality. The contradiction in his heart gave him the idea of returning from the army and he fell in love with Lu Wei.
