The empty mountains are bathed in a new rain, and feel the early autumn at night.
The bright moon shed clear light from the cracks and cleared the fountain on the rocks.
The bamboo forest is sonorous, the washerwoman returns, and the lotus leaves are swaying to get on the canoe.
Spring spring might as well give it a rest, and the autumn sun can stay on the hills for a long time.
Translation:
After the new rain, the valley is empty and fresh, and the weather is particularly cool in early autumn and evening.
The bright moon reflects the quiet pine forest, and the clear spring water flows on the rocks.
There was a noise in the bamboo forest, and I knew it was the girl who came back from washing clothes. The lotus leaf swayed and I knew it was a canoe.
Although the flowers and plants have disappeared in spring, the autumn scenery in front of me is enough for me to linger for a long time.
Poetry appreciation
This poem is a masterpiece of landscape painting. The whole poem is not only like a fresh and beautiful landscape painting, but also like a quiet and beautiful lyric music, which embodies the creative characteristics of painting in Wang Wei's poems.
The first part is about autumn scenery in the mountains after the rain. Because there are few people here, naturally some people come from Toyama. The word "empty mountain" points out that this place is like a paradise. At the beginning of Shan Yu, everything was new, and it was early autumn evening. It is conceivable that the air is fresh and the scenery is wonderful.
It is already dark, but there is a bright moon in the sky; The flowers have withered, but there are pine trees covered. The mountain spring is clear, flowing through the rocks, like a pure white plain, shining in the moonlight, what a quiet and clear natural beauty! These two sentences are picturesque, free and easy, and have little strength.
