This poem expresses the author's sadness about being far away from home and feeling the sadness of autumn through the description of autumn scenery. The original text is as follows:
"One Night's Stay in the Hotel"
Qian Qi of the Tang Dynasty
The heart of the country cannot be asked, and the autumn atmosphere meets again.
Wandering for thousands of miles, there are many layers of sorrow.
The geese disappear as the clouds return, and the crickets sing in the cold dew.
Stretching my neck to reach the end of the sky, I feel like hearing the bell of my hometown.
1. The words "hometown", "wandering" and "sorrow" in the first four sentences have pointed out the main tone of the poem - the sadness of leaving hometown. Leaving hometown is sentimental enough, but now it's autumn, the season when everything dies. Look, the wild geese know how to return to their hometown, and the crickets no longer chirp during the cold dew season. How sad and lamentable it is for me, a person far away in a foreign land! The last two sentences, and when I craned my neck to look at my hometown, I felt like I could hear the bells and drums of my motherland!
2. "The geese are returning to the clouds, and the cold dew is dripping and chirping." These two poems connect the previous and the following poems, describing the tragic mood of a person who has left his hometown. It depicts the pessimistic mood through the use of metaphors, and it is also a progressive description of the above four sentences. I yearn to be the returning wild goose, but I am still like the cricket in the cold dew season that cannot chirp for a few more days. Oh, how sad! What a shame when people leave their hometown! So I can only look at my hometown bitterly, hallucinating a peaceful and happy scene in my hometown in my heart.
