Vernacular translation: quietly sitting alone on the mica screen, the candlelight is deep. The long galaxy is fading, and the morning star is fading. Chang 'e may regret stealing the elixir of life, but now she is facing the blue sky and blue sea, tormenting her lonely heart night after night.
Chang 'e, who lives alone without a companion, is the goddess in the lonely Taoist temple and a lofty and lonely poet. Although the immortals are separated and people's circumstances on earth are different, they are all connected with the points of sublimity and loneliness. The poet grasped this point and shaped the artistic image of the trinity. This skill of artistic generalization is Li Shangyin's specialty.
Overall evaluation:
This poem entitled Chang 'e actually describes the lonely hero's feelings about the environment and his monologue, which is well written. The language is meaningful and the artistic conception is sentimental.
The first two sentences describe the hero's environment and sleepless nights. Indoor, the candlelight is getting darker and darker, and a deep shadow hangs over the mica screen, showing the emptiness and cold of the room more and more, revealing the gloomy mood of the protagonist sitting alone in the long night.
Outdoors, the Milky Way is gradually moving westward, and the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl face each other across the river, which may bring some reverie to the sleepless people who are alone in the lonely room, but this school of Milky Way is about to disappear.
The empty sky is dotted with sparse morning stars, which seems to be silently accompanying a lonely moon and those who never sleep. At this time, even this last companion will disappear. The word "Shen" vividly depicts the dynamics of the morning star, and the hero's heart seems to be sinking gradually.
