This poem has been a masterpiece for centuries. In addition to expressing the touching feelings of parting in a special period, it is more important that the poet used unique artistic techniques. When writing, the poet does not write from his own point of view, but is fascinated by thousands of miles away and puts his corner on his wife thousands of miles away. "She looked at the moonlight in Fuzhou, far away, and looked at it alone from the window of her room." The poet imagined it from his wife's point of view and described his predicament through his wife's anxiety.
Overall evaluation:
This poem expresses the feeling of parting by looking at the moon, but it is not the feeling of parting between lovers in the general sense. Between the lines, it shows the characteristics of the times. The pain of leaving chaos and inner worries are in one furnace, and I am disappointed with the moon, but my hope is pinned on the future that I don't know when.
122 The words "cherish" and "recall" in couplets should not slip away easily. And this should be sung in connection with Tonight and Watching Alone. The bright moon is in the sky and can be seen every month. Watching it alone, especially tonight, naturally means watching it together in the past and watching it together in the future. The future "watching together" is reserved for the last. In the previous couplets, "watch together" was implied. "In Fuzhou, far away, she was watching the moonlight, looking at it alone from the window of her room. Our boys and girls, poor little babies, are too young to know where the capital is. " This revealed that he and his wife had the past of "seeing" the moon and "remembering Chang 'an" in Zhangzhou. Before the Anshi Rebellion, the author was trapped in Anda for ten years and spent some time with his wife. Hungry and cold with his wife, watching the bright moon together in Chang 'an naturally left a deep memory. When Chang 'an fell and my family fled to Qiang Village, it was already very hard to see the moon in Zhangzhou with my wife and * * *. Remember Chang 'an? Now I am trapped in a disorderly army, and my wife is "watching the moon" and "remembering Chang 'an" in Zhangzhou. That "memory" is not only full of bitterness, but also mixed with anxiety and panic The word "memory" is profound and thought-provoking. I used to enjoy the moon with my wife in Zhangzhou, "recalling Chang 'an". Although I have mixed feelings, I still share my worries for my wife. Nowadays, it is naive for a wife to "watch the moonlight in Zhangzhou alone" and "remember Chang 'an" and "pity her son from afar", which can only increase her burden and cannot share her worries. The word "pity" is also full of affection and touching. The child is still young and doesn't know how to miss, but Du Fu can't help thinking. Children's "not thinking" can better reflect the depth of adults' "thinking".
The third part further shows "recalling Chang 'an" through the image description of his wife enjoying the moon alone. The fog is wet and the clouds are ugly, and the moon is cold and jade arms. The longer I look at the moon, the deeper my memory, which is exactly what the author imagined. I can't help crying at the thought that my wife is worried and can't sleep at night Tears at the full moon in the two places aroused the author's hope of ending this painful life; So I ended with a poem expressing hope: "When can we lie on the screen again and look at the bright light and stop crying?" ？” It is a hint to "take a double photo" and the tears start to dry, and then "watch it alone" and the tears don't dry.
The title is Moonlit Night, and every word reflects the moonlight. "Looking alone" and "taking two photos" are the eyes of a poem. It is a reality to watch the moon alone, but from the opposite side, I only wrote that my wife watched the moon in Zhangzhou alone and remembered Chang 'an, while she watched the moon in Chang 'an alone and remembered Zhangzhou but was included. The "double photo" has both memories and hopes: sentimental "watching alone" of Tonight, recalling the same view of the past, and pinning the hope of relying on "emptiness" (thin screen) and expressing sorrow for the moon on the future. The beauty of adopting each other's way of thinking lies in expressing their feelings for each other, which is especially regarded as written law by later generations. The whole word is concise, well-organized, clear and sincere, and there is no trace of being bound by metrical poems.

Original text:
In Fuzhou, far away, she is looking at the moonlight, looking at it alone from the window of her room. For our boys and girls, poor little baby, too young to know where the capital is.
Her cloudy hair is sweet with mist, and her jade-white shoulders are cold in the moonlight. When can we lie on the screen again and look at the bright light and stop crying? .
