The beautiful story of Du Mu's ancient poem Tanabata

1. Story: According to folklore, the Weaver Girl is the granddaughter of the Emperor of Heaven. She married a cow and met him once a year when crossing the river on Qixi, with magpies as the bridge.

2. Source: Autumn Night by the Tang Dynasty poet Du Mu.

3. Original text:

In the autumn night, candlelight reflected the screen, and Fan slapped the fireflies with his hand.

The stone steps at night are as cold as cold water, sitting and staring at the cowherd and the weaver girl.

4. Translation:

In the autumn night, candlelight reflects the painting screen and beats fireflies with a small fan.

The stone steps at night are as cold as cold water, sitting in the bedroom staring at the cowherd and the weaver girl.

5. Appreciate:

This poem is about the loneliness and bitterness of a frustrated girl's life. The first sentence is about autumn scenery, and the word "cold" is used, which implies the crisp atmosphere in autumn and shows the inner loneliness of the hero. Write two sentences to kill time and relieve depression by flapping fireflies. Three words: I can't sleep at night, waiting for good luck, taking the street as water to compare your love as ice. In the last sentence, I admire the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl to express my grief.
