Meaning: I want to play a song on the Yao Qin with all my thoughts. But there are few close friends in the mountains and rivers. Even if the strings of the piano are broken, who will listen?
Original text:
The cicadas couldn’t stop chirping in the cold last night. Shocked back from a thousand-mile dream, it’s been the third update. Get up and walk around the steps alone. People are quiet, and the moon is dimly bright outside the curtain.
A white head is a sign of fame. Old mountains and old pines and bamboos block the return journey. I want to express my thoughts to Yao Qin. If you have few close friends, no one will listen when your string is broken.

Translation:
The unstoppable chirping of crickets on the autumn night last night woke me up from a distant dream. It was already the third watch. He got up and walked around the steps alone. There was no sound around, and a pale moon was dim outside the curtain.
He who has made contributions to the country and left a lasting legacy will grow old even before he is old. The pines and bamboos in the mountains of my hometown have grown up and become old, and they have no choice but to make peace and block the return journey. I want to play a song on the Yao Qin with all my thoughts on it. But there are few close friends in the mountains and rivers. Even if the strings of the piano are broken, who will listen?

The first film focuses on the scenery.
The next part expresses the anguish of being blocked from regaining lost ground and having no one understand his thoughts.
In terms of writing techniques, "The River is Red: Angry and Crowned" mostly uses prose to describe the events directly and impassionedly, embodying Yue Fei's heroic spirit and heroic fighting spirit of loyally serving the country. This song "Little Heavy Mountain" mostly uses metaphors to express one's thoughts in a tortuous way. It is subtle and euphemistic, with cadences and twists, and the blending of scenes. The artistic technique is very superb. Although this poem is short. But it is subtle and meaningful, bright and graceful, embodying emotions in the scenery, and deeply expresses the author's tragic mood of unrealized ambition and concern for the country and the people.
