The branches and leaves in the courtyard have fallen off, and looking at it is empty, I can only feel the long and long autumn; the solar term has reached the cold dew, and the water vapor condenses in the evening, making me worry about being alone in my clothes.
Source: Wang Anshi, a poet of the Song Dynasty, "Dream of the Examination Courtyard on August 19th": The autumn is long in the empty courtyard, and the cold dew enters the dusk clothes. The bustle of people's voices has become the city, and the day has not yet arrived among the hibiscus trees. The love you always cherished has become a dream, and the color of jade is like a happy face. After knowing the opposite, we should no longer be separated, chatting and laughing under the moonlight and leisurely.
Interpretation: The branches and leaves in the courtyard have fallen off, and looking at the empty space, I can only feel the long and long autumn; the solar term has reached the cold dew, and the water vapor condenses in the evening, making me worry about being alone in my clothes. People chatting outside the hospital, the atmosphere gradually became lively, and before I knew it, it had become a market. It was noon at this time, and the autumn sun was still hidden behind the clouds, with only soft light shining through. I once expected good things, but these good things all passed like a dream; the sunshine Sprinkled into a jade color, it is soft and soothing, like a happy face.
It is expected that in the future, there will be no distance between relatives and friends; under the clear shadow of the bright moon, they will sit and chat leisurely, filled with laughter and joy.
