In the bleak autumn season, a couple who lived alone, forced by life, had to say goodbye with bitterness. At this heartbreaking moment, the eyes of both of them were filled with tears. They looked at each other and wanted to say something to each other, but they cried before they opened their mouths. There are thousands of words in my heart, but at this moment, I can't tell them because of my sadness. After separation, who can tell the love of lovesickness? The only thing I can do is a bright moon between the two places, pinning endless worries about acacia.

This is a poem about the sadness of a lover leaving. One or two sentences in this poem are about the time and environment of parting, and it is about autumn. The contents of the two couplets in the middle are very important, focusing on the scene where two people look at each other with tears and want to say no, and they are extremely sad because of leaving. The last two sentences are about the future far away from others, and we can only miss each other in the bright moonlight. Expressed their true and faithful feelings.

This poem is about the sadness of parting in autumn: "The autumn wind is rustling, and people are worried about parting." Explain the season of parting, and use the "rustling autumn wind" to render parting. The next step is to write an impressive expression: "There are two diametrically opposite feelings, you have to swallow your breath first." Face to face means face to face, eye to eye; From the word "deep affection", people can imagine the scene of attachment and the scene of facing tears with tears; What do you want to say to your lover? I have sobbed and swallowed, and I can't say a word. Because these two sentences are very vivid, Liu Yong of the Song Dynasty combined them into his own words and wrote the famous sentence "Holding hands and staring with tears, but not saying anything" ("Lin Yuling"). Smell and swallow and you will be speechless, but smell and swallow a little. When I can speak, I feel that I have nothing to say: "The heartbeat is Qian Qian, but it is difficult to say when I am sad." Originally, I was a little uneasy about "leaving people" and wanted to say something or express my heart, but when I saw the painful and embarrassed expression of the other party, I had nothing to say. The word "hard to say" accurately describes the mentality of both sides at that time. Although neither of them said anything, "a thousand words are not worth a word", which shows their deep love and mutual trust. Finally, with a public picture, they wrote down their reverie about the scene after leaving: "Only after leaving, the horizon is bright." From this public picture, people can see how they miss each other in the moonlight and imagine the mutual wishes of "wishing others a long time, thousands of miles away".

Generally speaking, the poet renders the atmosphere of parting from the autumn wind; The difficulty of writing "sentimental" is described by "swallowing first"; The complexity of writing "Heart Melody" can be summarized by "difficult to say"; Write the deep feeling after parting, and daydream about the situation of "thinking only" with the picture of "bright moon" The poet used several different expressive techniques to make the abstract feelings very concrete and moving. In particular, the phrase "sadness comes but it's hard to say" is an extremely abstract narrative, but because the poet embedded it in the appropriate language environment, people not only think it is abstract, but also feel that even the heroine's complex psychological activities are expressed. This is exactly the artistic effect that the author received by "using things that are always strange".
