It comes from "Night at Qipanling" by Shen Quanqi, a poet of the Tang Dynasty.
This poem is a five-character poem expressing melancholy. It was written when the poet visited Shu and passed Qipanling in his youth. Express your inner emotions through the description of the scenery.
The opening chapter narrates the background of the poem, pointing out that the poet traveled to a distant place alone and stayed in Qipanling at night. In terms of wording, "Wandering alone" highlights loneliness, while "lying high" implies that it is cold at high places.
The front couplet describes the scene of the night and the poet's feelings: the bright moon in the mountains seems to be hanging in front of the window, and the Milky Way in the sky seems to be pouring into the room. Such a quiet environment is really refreshing.
The neck couplet describes the mountain scenery. Pingzhong is the ginkgo, because in ancient times there was a saying that "Pingzhong is as white as silver", so the poet used it to express his noble sentiments of the breeze on his sleeves. The lush ginkgo trees in the mountains and the desolate cuckoo singing in the quiet night all evoke the poet's homesickness of wandering alone.
