Original poem:
A night-mooring near maple bridge in Tang Dynasty: Zhang Ji
Crows fell on the moon, crowed coldly, slept on maple trees, and slept in fishing lanes by the river.
In the lonely Hanshan Temple outside Suzhou, the bell that rang in the middle of the night reached the passenger ship.
Explanation:
The moon has set, crows crow all over the sky, the maple trees on the river and the fishing fires on the boat make it difficult for me to sleep alone.
In the lonely and quiet Hanshan Temple outside Gusu, the bell that rang in the middle of the night reached the passenger ship I was riding.
Extended data:
An Shi Rebellion broke out in January of Tianbao 14th year. Because the political situation in Jiangnan was relatively stable at that time, Zhang Jiwei fled to Jiangsu and Zhejiang to avoid chaos. On autumn night, he anchored in Qiao Feng, outside Suzhou. Travelers with travel troubles wrote this poem with clear artistic conception.
"a night-mooring near maple bridge" accurately and delicately describes the observation and feelings of a passenger liner who sleeps at night on the night scene in late autumn in the south of the Yangtze River, and outlines the scenes of moonfall, frosty night, fishing in the river, solitary boat passengers and so on.
It also fully shows the author's thoughts on travel, his worries about his home country and his worries about being in troubled times without a home. The sentences in the whole poem are vivid, emotional and picturesque, and the logical relationship between the sentences is very clear and reasonable, and the content is easy to understand. This poem is ethereal and clear, and its artistic conception is desolate. It is a classic work of writing melancholy poems. Since the Tang dynasty, it has continued to this day.
