The main content of an autumn evening in the mountains: The empty mountains are bathed in a new rain, and the night arrival makes people feel that it is early autumn. The bright moon shed clear light from the pine gap, and the clear spring water flowed on the rocks. The bamboo forest is noisy and knows that the laundry girl is back, and the lotus leaves are swaying like a canoe. The wheatgrass in spring may as well let it rest, and the prince and grandson in the mountains in autumn can stay for a long time.
an autumn evening in the mountains
Author Wang Wei Dynasty Tang
after rain the empty mountain, stands autumnal in the evening.
moonlight in its groves of pine, stones of crystal in its brooks.
bamboos whisper of washer-girls bound home, lotus-leaves yield before a fisher-boat.
and what does it matter that springtime has gone, while you are here, O Prince of Friends?.
Translation:
The empty mountains have been bathed in a new rain, and the night arrival makes people feel that it is early autumn. The bright moon shed clear light from the pine gap, and the clear spring water flowed on the rocks. The bamboo forest is noisy and knows that the laundry girl is back, and the lotus leaves are swaying like a canoe. The wheatgrass in spring may as well let it rest, and the prince and grandson in the mountains in autumn can stay for a long time.
Appreciation of Poetry
This poem depicts the charming scenery of the mountain village and the simple fashion of the villagers in the evening after the autumn rain in Chu Qing, and shows the poet's satisfaction with his seclusion and natural beauty to express his personality and social beauty. The whole poem will reflect the cool autumn after the rain and the bright moon in the pine forest.
The sound of the clear spring on the stone, the loud laughter of the Huan girl returning to the bamboo forest, and the movement of fishing boats crossing the lotus flowers are harmoniously and perfectly integrated, giving people a rich and fresh feeling. It is like a fresh and beautiful landscape painting, but also like a quiet and beautiful lyric music, which embodies the creative characteristics of paintings in Wang Wei's poems.
