The cool autumn after the rain in the hollow mountains, the light of the bright moon on the pine trees, the sound of the clear spring on the stone, the laughter in the bamboo forest when the girl Huan returns, and the dynamic of fishing boats crossing the lotus flowers are harmoniously and perfectly integrated, giving people a rich and fresh feeling. It is not only like a fresh and beautiful landscape painting, but also like a quiet and beautiful lyric music, which embodies the creative characteristics of painting in Wang Wei's poems.
Original poem:
An autumn night in the mountains of Tang Dynasty: Wang Wei
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.
Explanation:
The empty mountain is bathed in a new rain. As night falls, the air is cool, as if it were 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.
Extended data:
An important artistic technique of this poem is to express the poet's personality beauty and an ideal social beauty with natural beauty. On the surface, this poem only uses the method of "Fu" to shape mountains and rivers, and gives a detailed and touching description of the scenery. Actually, it's full of comparisons. The poet expresses his ambition through the description of the scenery, which is rich in content and intriguing.
"An empty mountain after the rain stands on an autumn evening." The so-called "empty mountain seems empty, but I think I heard a voice" (Chai Lu). Because there are few people here, "Who knows that someone is coming in the gorge, and outsiders only see the empty mountains and thick clouds" ("Peach Garden Line"); Naturally, someone came from Fuchiyama. The word "empty mountain" points out that besides, it is like a paradise. In the early days of Shan Yu, everything was new. It was early autumn evening. It is conceivable that the air is fresh and the scenery is wonderful.
"Moonlight in the pine forest, crystal stone in the stream." It was dark, but there was a bright moon in the sky. The flowers have withered, but there are pine trees covered. The mountain spring is clear, flowing through the rocks, like a pure white plain, shining in the moonlight, what a quiet and clear natural beauty!
"The bamboo whispers that the laundry girl returns, and the lotus leaves bend in front of the fishing boat." A burst of joy and laughter broke out in the bamboo forest. It was some innocent girls who washed their clothes and came back with a smile. The graceful lotus leaves spread out to both sides one after another, overturning countless pearl-like crystal drops. It's a fishing boat going down the river, which cuts the tranquility of the moonlight in the lotus pond.
There are such a group of carefree, hardworking and kind people under the bright moon and among the bamboos and violets. This pure and beautiful picture of life reflects the poet's ideal of living a quiet simple living, and at the same time, it shows his aversion to dirty officialdom from the opposite side.
