The meaning of the ancient poem "Bird's Sound Stream"

The meaning of birdsong creek: silent, fragrant osmanthus, falling gently. Castle peak and clear forest are more empty. The bright moon rose, which alarmed several perched mountain birds. The crisp song echoed in the empty mountain stream for a long time.

The whole poem: people are idle, and the night is quiet and empty. When the moon comes out, the birds are startled, and the sound enters the spring stream.

Appreciate:

"When people are idle, sweet-scented osmanthus falls, and the night is quiet and the mountains are empty." They write the scenery with sound and skillfully use synaesthesia techniques to combine the dynamic scene of "flowers falling" with "people being idle".

At the end of the sentence, "A bird is startled in the moon, and the spring is singing", that is, moving to write silence, a "surprise" and a "singing", which seems to break the silence of the night, but in fact, the silence and leisure in the mountains are set off by the description of sound:

The moon appeared from the clouds and the quiet moonlight streamed down. A few birds wake up from their sleep and whisper to each other from time to time. The thin sound of water in the spring mountain stream sets off the overall artistic conception of this quiet mountain forest.

On the contrary, dynamic scene can achieve static effect, because the two sides of contradiction are always interdependent. Under certain conditions, motion can only happen on the premise of stillness. "Tonamiyama is more secluded" contains artistic dialectics.
