I leaned alone in the dense bamboo, playing the piano and humming a song. It's too light for anyone to hear, except my partner, Mingyue.

[Brief Comment] Wang Wei's Zhuliguan is one of the twenty poems in Wangchuan Collection, named Zhuliguan, which describes the feeling of living in a bamboo forest. This poem expresses the author's calm mood and noble character in nature, and at the same time there is a cold and lonely atmosphere hanging over it. It has become one of the masterpieces of Wang Wei's later landscape poems, and has always been valued by Tang poetry researchers. There are descriptions of poets' self-satisfaction, such as playing the piano and whistling and enjoying the beautiful scenery. Even Mingyue Lian came as a companion. These images are all related to the poet's comfortable state of mind, showing the joy of seclusion and also containing the firm will to resist the dirty world outside. The poem also describes the desolate side of the poet, such as the use of words such as "sitting alone" and "people don't know". In addition, Yue Ming's visit can also be regarded as the poet's loneliness. No one was present, only Yue Ming came to entertain him. In this way, the bright moon has become an image that highlights resentment. The structure of this poem is very rigorous, not only echoing from beginning to end, but also communicating with each other. If the first sentence has "sitting alone", the third sentence has "people don't know", which is corresponding; The first sentence has "seclusion" and the third sentence has "deep forest", which is also corresponding; The first sentence has "sitting alone" and the last sentence has "taking pictures", which is a comparison; The first sentence has a "quiet", the third sentence has a "deep forest" and the last sentence has a "bright moon", which is relative. In short, a small poem with only 20 words, the poet used these structural means of response, comparison and reflection, making the whole poem a unified whole, making people feel the beauty of echo. The bright moon in the bamboo forest, which blends with the poet's scene, has elegant taste and distant artistic conception.
