Wen Tianxiang's Moonlit Poems.

Wen Tianxiang in the Southern Song Dynasty on a moonlit night.

Clouds open in the middle of the month, and the broken bridge turns into a jade pagoda.

In the middle of the night, a crane swept the boat, and it was suspected that it was a fairy red cliff.

Creation background

When Wen Tianxiang wrote this poem, the Mongols were attacking the Southern Song Dynasty on a large scale, and the troops in the Southern Song Dynasty were losing ground. The poet wants to repel the enemy, but he can't actually allow it. Treacherous court officials are in power, and everything is constrained, without the assistance of outstanding military talents. He was very sad. This poem describes the scenery on the surface, but actually expresses the author's sorrow of saving the country.

poetic sentiment

The moon rose to the zenith, but it was blocked by clouds, just like the clouds split the moon in half.

The cloud seems to be broken. It looks like a broken long bridge. The clouds exposed in the middle are like a balcony made of jade.

As the night gets deeper and deeper, a white crane flies over the moon like a boat, which makes people wonder whether Su Dongpo, who has already ascended to immortality, flew from Chibi by crane.
