Ancient poem "Song of Returning to Lumen at Night"
Era: Tang Dynasty
Author Meng Haoran
The bells of the mountain temple are ringing. It is already dark, and the fishermen are crossing the river. Fighting for crossing the noise.
The people followed the sand road to Jiangcun, and I also took a boat back to Lumen.
The moonlight in Lumen opened the smoke trees, and suddenly I came to Pang Gong's hiding place.
The pine path in Yanfei is long and lonely, with only lonely people coming and going at night.

Brief analysis:
First write about the hustle and bustle of the ferry, and then write about the quietness of the residence where you are alone. Because the famous hermit Pang Degong in the Eastern Han Dynasty also lived here, admiration and self-photography are naturally integrated into one seamless theme.
This is a poem that sings about the feelings and interests of seclusion. The first two sentences describe what I experienced on the way home at night; the dusk bell came from the mountain temple, and there was a noisy struggle to cross the ferry. The two contrasted with each other, but the quiet and noisy were different. Three or four sentences describe how people return home and go to Lumen on their own, with different paths and different aspirations.
It shows the poet's contentment. Five or six sentences describe climbing Lumen Mountain at night, arriving at Pang Degong's retreat, and feeling the beauty of seclusion.
The last two sentences describe living in seclusion in Lumen Mountain, admiring the ancestors.
Although the whole poem sings about the leisure and simplicity of living in seclusion, it still cannot forget the excitement of the world, expressing the feeling that living in seclusion is forced by helplessness.
The feelings are sincere and elegant, and the beauty and truth can be seen in the ordinary.
