"Mooring at Maple Bridge at Night" is a work by Zhang Ji, a poet of the Tang Dynasty. After the Anshi Rebellion in the Tang Dynasty, Zhang Ji wrote this poem about traveling while passing by Hanshan Temple. This poem accurately and delicately describes the observation and feelings of a passenger boat berthed at night on the late autumn night scene in the south of the Yangtze River. It outlines the sceneries of the setting moon and crows, frosty cold nights, river maples and fishing fires, and lonely boats and passengers.
Extended information:
Hanshan Temple is located one mile west of Fengqiao. It was first built in the Liang Dynasty. Hanshan, a poet monk in the early Tang Dynasty, lived here, hence its name. The poetic beauty of Maple Bridge, with this ancient temple, has taken on the color of history and culture, making it even richer and more moving. Therefore, the "midnight bell" of Hanshan Temple seems to echo the echo of history, permeated with religious sentiments, and gives people a sense of quaintness and solemnity.
It seems that the poet used a poem to point out the origin of the bell for no reason. With the stroke of the midnight bell of Hanshan Temple, the charm of "Mooring at Maple Bridge at Night" is most perfectly expressed. This poem no longer remains at the level of a simple autumn night scene painting of Maple Bridge, but creates It creates a typical artistic conception of scene blending.
Although the custom of midnight has been recorded in "Southern History" as early as "Southern History", it was Zhang Ji's creation to write it into the poem and become the key point of the poem's artistic conception. Although there were many poets who described midnight at the same time as Zhang Ji or later, they never reached the level of Zhang Ji, let alone created a complete artistic conception.
