House of Bamboo
I leaned alone in the dense bamboo, playing the piano and humming a song.
It's too light for anyone to hear, except my partner, Mingyue.
Creative background:
Zhuliguan is considered to be Wang Wei's seclusion in Wangchuan, Lantian in his later years. Wang Wei believed in Buddhism in his early years, his thoughts were detached and his career was bumpy. After forty, I lived a semi-official and semi-secluded life. As he himself said, "As time goes by, give me peace and get rid of everything." Therefore, I often sit alone in the deep bamboo forest, playing the guqin and expressing my lonely feelings. With a quiet mind, the poet met the quiet nature of bamboo forest and bright moon and wrote a book with great care.
Appreciation of poetry and prose:
This poem shows a state of tranquility. In the first two sentences, the poet sat alone in the deep and dense bamboo forest, playing the strings and blowing a long whistle. In fact, whether "playing the piano" or "whistling" reflects the poet's elegant and free-spirited temperament, which is not easy to cause others to sing.
So the last two sentences said, "It's too light for anyone to hear except my comrade, Mingyue." I live in a secluded forest, and I don't feel lonely because the bright moon still shines on me all the time. The personification technique is used here, and the bright moon sprinkled with Yin Hui is regarded as a bosom friend, which shows the poet's novel and unique imagination. The style of the whole poem is quiet and leisurely, as if the poet's mood and natural scenery are integrated.
