An analysis of ancient poems chanting dewdrops

Analysis of the ancient poem "Yin Lu": This five-character quatrain vividly depicts a drop of dew falling from the sky on an autumn night, which falls on the unfolded green lotus leaf, turns into crystal drops and rolls around. It is really beautiful. "I don't know the circle at first" means that the author didn't know it was round until he saw the dew rolling around on the lotus leaf.

Original text:

On a clear night, a drop of dew from Hà Thu fell into the sky.

In the future, on the tracts, you may never know the circle.

Translation:

There is a drop of crystal dew on the lotus leaf in autumn, which falls from the mysterious sky in the dark night.

I was shaking like I was going to fall. I didn't know it was round but square until I watched it roll around instead of standing still.

Yong Lu is a poem written by Wei, a poet in the Tang Dynasty. Wei's poetic style is unique, especially in the Dali period. Over the years, the grandeur of the Tang Dynasty no longer exists, so the themes are mostly romance and homesickness, and the poetic style tends to be light from Wang Wei and Meng Haoran.

Wu Ying in Wei Dynasty is different from other poems in Dali period, especially five-character poems. He dabbles in all kinds of poetic styles, especially ancient ones. During the Dali period, poets paid great attention to the carving of words and phrases, and vigorously pursued the accuracy of antithesis and the harmony of melody. Wei's poems are simple and natural, with a natural sense of eternity.
