An autumn night in the mountains
Wang Wei [Tang Dynasty]
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.

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.
The girl in the bamboo forest came back from washing with a smile, and the lotus leaves swayed in the canoe.
Although spring is beautiful, autumn scenery in front of us is enough to make people linger.
This poem is a masterpiece of landscape painting. It depicts the charming scenery of the mountain village and the simple fashion of the villagers in the evening after the rain in the autumn of Chu Dynasty, shows the poet's satisfaction with the pastoral life and seclusion life, and shows the beauty of personality and society with natural beauty. The whole poem perfectly combines the cool autumn after the rain in an empty mountain, the light of the bright moon among pine trees, the sound of clear spring on the stone, the laughter of happy women returning to the bamboo forest and the dynamic harmony of fishing boats crossing the lotus, giving people a rich and fresh feeling. It 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.
