Wang Wei
after rain the empty mountain, stands autumnal in the evening.
moonlight in its groves of pine, stones of crystal in its brooks.
bamboos whisper of washer-girls bound home, lotus-leaves yield before a fisher-boat.
and what does it matter that springtime has gone, while you are here, O Prince of Friends?.
This poem was written by Wang Wei when he lived in seclusion in Wangchuan in his later years. He wrote about the mountain scenery in the autumn evening, so as to express the author's love for simplicity, quietness and indulgence of mountain life, and to express the poet's comfortable mood and seclusion.
from the content of the poem, "bamboos whisper of washer-girls bound home, lotus-leaves yield before a fisher-boat." These two poems adopt the writing method of "sound comes first". On such a beautiful night, in the depths of the bamboo forest, the women who came back from washing clothes gave out silvery laughter from time to time, and at the same time, the sound of lotus leaves fluctuating came from the water, which was the fishing boat going downstream, making preparations before fishing. Through these touching details, we can find the poet's heartfelt love for this quiet and elegant life.
