Appreciation of Silent Night Thinking
Thoughts in the dead of night
Lipper
The foot of my bed is shining so brightly. Is there frost already?
I looked up at the moon and looked down, feeling nostalgic.
Explanation of words:
Thinking about the exam in a quiet night: an idea that comes into being in a quiet night.
Bed: There are five kinds of sayings today, namely: well platform, well site, window, original bed and foldable portable seat.
Suspicion: It seems so.

Original translation:
The bright moonlight sprinkled on enough paper, as if the ground was frosted. I couldn't help looking up at the bright moon in the sky outside the window that day, and I couldn't help but bow my head and think of my hometown in the distance.
Creative background:
In 726 AD (14th year of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty), Li Bai wrote the Tang poem "Thinking about a Quiet Night" at Yangzhou Inn on September 15th of the lunar calendar, at the age of 26. The poem "Wandering in the Autumn Night" should be a sequel to "Thinking about a Quiet Night" and was written in the same place. On a night with few stars, the poet looked up at the bright moon in the sky and was homesick. He wrote this famous poem "Thoughts on a Quiet Night", which will be read down through the ages.
Central content:
This poem is about the feeling of homesickness on a silent moonlit night, which expresses the author's homesickness.
Language features:
The language is fresh, simple and implicit.
Appreciate:
The first two sentences of the poem are an illusion created by the poet in a specific foreign environment in an instant. A person who lives alone in a foreign country and is busy during the day can still dilute his sadness. However, in the dead of night, the waves of missing his hometown will inevitably surge in his heart. Not to mention on a moonlit night, not to mention on a frosty autumn night. "Could there have been frost?" The word "doubt" in the poem vividly expresses that the poet woke up from his sleep and mistook the Leng Yue in front of his bed for the thick frost on the ground. The word "frost" is better used, which not only describes the bright moonlight, but also expresses the cold of the season, and also sets off the loneliness and desolation of the poet wandering abroad.
On the other hand, the last two sentences of the poem deepen homesickness through the description of actions and ways. The word "hope" takes care of the word "doubt" in the previous sentence, which shows that the poet has changed from a daze to a sober one. He stared at the moon eagerly and couldn't help thinking that his hometown was under the bright moon at the moment. So naturally, I came to the conclusion that "I sank back and suddenly thought of home". The action of "bowing your head" depicts the poet completely lost in thought. The word "miss" left a rich imagination space for readers: the brothers, relatives and friends in that hometown, the mountains, rivers, trees and grass in that hometown, the lost years and everything in the past are all in my thoughts. A word "Xiang" contains too much content.
About the author:
Li Bai (70 1-762), the word Taibai, was a great romantic poet in the Tang Dynasty, and was called "Poet Fairy" in the history of China. His ancestral home was in Ji Cheng, Longxi (now Tianshui City, Gansu Province), and he moved to Broken Leaf City in Central Asia (now tokmak City, Chuhe Prefecture, Kyrgyzstan) at the end of Sui Dynasty, where Li Bai was born. His poetic style is bold and unconstrained, with rich imagination, natural and fluent language and harmonious and changeable melody. He is good at absorbing nutrition and materials from folk songs and myths, which constitutes his unique magnificent and gorgeous color and is the new peak of active romantic poetry since Qu Yuan.
Later generations called Li Bai and Du Fu "Du Li". The overall style of his poems is fresh and elegant, which not only reflects the prosperity of the times, but also exposes the debauchery and corruption of the ruling class, showing the positive spirit of despising the powerful, resisting the traditional bondage and pursuing freedom and ideals.
Li Bai lived in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. He had the progressive ideal of "helping the poor" and "settling down in peace", and he struggled to realize this ideal all his life. A large number of his poems not only reflected the prosperity of that era, but also exposed and criticized the debauchery and corruption of the ruling group, showing the positive spirit of despising the powerful, resisting the traditional bondage and pursuing freedom and ideals.

There are more than 900 poems, including Li Taibai's poems.
