Make an appreciative comment
In the first sentence, "moving the boat" means moving the boat closer to the shore; "Berth" means to stop the ship for the night. The ship docked at the edge of a misty continent in the middle of the river. On the one hand, it is a point, on the other hand, it also prepares for the scenery and lyrics behind.
"As the day gets shorter, memories of the old days begin" and "sunset" are obviously related to "berth" and "smoke" in the previous sentence, because the ship needs to stop at sunset; It is also because of sunset and dusk that the water on the river appears foggy. At the same time, "sunset" is the cause of "new troubles", and "guest" refers to the poet himself. If we follow the format of the so-called inheritance and transformation in the old poem, it is rare for this second sentence to combine the two meanings in one sentence. Why does "Sunset" propose "New Worried Guests"? We can read a passage in the Book of Songs: "A gentleman is in service, I don't know when." Chickens live in the hustle and bustle, and at dusk, cattle and sheep come down and gentlemen serve. Why not think about it? "("Feng Wang Gentleman in Service ") It is written here that whenever the sun sets, chickens enter the cage and cattle and sheep return to the fence, she misses her husband serving abroad more. In this way, can't you understand the traveler's mood at this time? Originally, when the ship stopped, it should have a quiet rest for one night to eliminate the fatigue of the journey. Who knows that in the evening when birds return to the forest and cattle and sheep go down the mountain, the troubles of traveling suddenly arise.
Creation background
In 730 AD (18th year of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty), Meng Haoran left his hometown, came to Luoyang, and then traveled to wuyue to relieve his depressed career. Night Sleeping in Jiande should have been written when he was roaming in wuyue, and it was written at the same time as Ask Zhou Zi.
Brief introduction of the author
Meng Haoran (689-740), whose real name is Haoran, was born in Xiangyang, Xiangzhou (now Xiangyang, Hubei), a famous pastoral poet in the Tang Dynasty, and was known as "Meng Xiangyang" in the world. Because he has never been an official, he is also called Monsanto. Meng Haoran was born in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. He was eager to use the world in his early years. After experiencing the hardships and pains of his official career, he was able to respect himself, not flatter the vulgar world, practice for life and live in seclusion. Once lived in seclusion in Lumen Mountain. Traveling to Chang 'an at the age of 40 should be promoted by Jinshi. He once wrote a poem named Gong Qing in imperial academy, and he wrote for it. In the 25th year of Kaiyuan (737), Zhang Jiuling became a shogunate general and later lived in seclusion. Meng's poems are mostly five-character short stories, mostly pastoral poems and secluded poems, and most of them are in the mood of serving immortals. Although it is not without cynicism, it is more of a poet's self-expression. Meng Haoran's poems have unique artistic attainments. Later generations called Meng Haoran and Wang Wei, another landscape poet in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, "Wang Meng". Meng Haoran's collected works handed down from generation to generation have three volumes.
