"Now I'm listening to monk Yu, and the stars are already on my temples." It is a self-portrait of the poet's present situation. There is no scenery in the painting, only a white-haired old man listens to the rain at night alone at the monk's house. Such an extremely monotonous picture shows the extreme loneliness and sadness of the people in the painting.
The poet has tasted the ups and downs, and after the great change of ownership, everything is empty and hopeless. Here and now, he heard the rain again. Although he felt the ruthlessness of the rain, he was indifferent. At the end of the word, he summed up his life of "listening to the rain" with two helpless words: "The joys and sorrows are always ruthless, and the water drips until dawn."
From the Song Dynasty Jie Jiang's "Young Beauty Listening to the Rain", the original text is:
Listening to the rain song upstairs, the red candle is faint. In the prime of life, the boat is listening to the rain, the river is wide and the clouds are low, and the broken geese are called the west wind.
Now listening to the rain monk Lu, there are stars on his temples. Sorrow and joy are always ruthless, and will last until dawn before the next step.
Translation:
When I was young, I listened to the rain on the rostrum, lit red candles, and in the dim light, there were lights in my account. Middle-aged people, on a boat in a foreign country, are watching the drizzle, the vast river, the water and the sky, the west wind, and a lonely goose that has lost its flock moans.
Now, people are old, with white hair on their temples, and they are alone at the monk's house, listening to the drizzle. The experience of life's joys and sorrows is ruthless, so let the rain drop by drop on the steps until dawn.
