It is cold in the county today, and I suddenly miss the guests in the mountains.
At the bottom of the stream, Jingjing fuel is planted, and white stones are boiled when they return.
If you want to hold on - a ladle of wine, you will be far away from the wind and rain.
The mountains are full of fallen leaves, where can I find traces of whereabouts
Annotation Quanjiao: the name of the county. Today's Quanjiao County, Anhui Province, belonged to Chuzhou in the Tang Dynasty.

Explanation: Today my house was hit by the cold, and I suddenly missed my friends in the mountains. Maybe he was collecting firewood at the bottom of the stream and came back to cook white stones for food and practice as an immortal. In this windy, cold and rainy season, I should bring a pot of fine wine to visit my friends in the distant mountains. Fallen leaves cover the desolate mountain forest. My floating friend, tell me where to look for your traces.
Analysis: In his early years, Wei Yingwu stayed in the inner court of the Wei Dynasty, where he acted as a knight and led a dissolute life. After the Anshi Rebellion, he studied hard and became a quiet and elegant scholar, and he was close to Taoist priests. This poem "To the Taoist Priests in the Quanjiao Mountain" best shows his feelings of keeping calm.
On a night of autumn wind and autumn rain, when the official office was deserted, the poet suddenly missed the Taoist priest in the mountains with whom he had interacted. Then he speculated on the secluded life of Taoist priests, who gathered firewood at the bottom of a stream and cooked on white rocks. After the suspense, the poet missed him more and more, and wanted to visit the Taoist priests in the mountains with wine on this stormy night. But the autumn wind is bleak, the autumn rain is continuous, and the mountains are covered with fallen leaves. Where can I find a Taoist priest? The third and fourth lines of the poem describe that the life of a priest is extremely lonely, which reveals the poet's yearning for this kind of life; the last four lines of the poem reveal the poet's longing for this kind of life. The worry and longing for the life of a Taoist priest are full of sadness in the words. "The fallen leaves are all over the empty mountain, where can I find the traces?" The two sentences are more like the sound of footsteps in the empty valley, lingering endlessly, and the infinite thoughts are all unspoken.
Wei Yingwu created such a lonely poetic state. Can this be regarded as his state of mind at that time?
