Extended information:
This is "An Autumn Night to the Qiu Yuanwai" by Wei Yingwu, a poet of the Tang Dynasty. "Qiu Yuanwai" refers to the author's friend Qiu Dan, who once held the official position of Cangbe Yuanwailang, and this poem was sent to him.
On an autumn night with a cool breeze, the poet was walking and reciting poems under the moonlight. At this time, he couldn't help but miss his friends far away; in the silent mountains, he could only hear the sound of pine nuts falling to the ground. On such a beautiful night, he also You must be enjoying it quietly.
Such a quiet and quiet scene, such a warm and long friendship, and the love and scenery blend so naturally, as if a breeze is blowing by.
Autumn nights, cool days, walks, and secluded people, these images gradually create a peaceful and poetic atmosphere. What makes this atmosphere reach a certain extreme inadvertently is "pine cones falling on an empty mountain"; you can imagine that in a secluded and uninhabited mountain, you can only hear the sound of falling pine cones intermittently... How quiet it is moment!
So "pine nuts falling on an empty mountain" is the poet's feeling at this time? No, this was him imagining the environment his friend Qiu Dan was in. At this time, Qiu Dan was practicing Taoism in Linping Mountain, so the poet called him "Youren", that is, a hermit far away from the world of mortals.
After Qiu Dan received this poem from Wei Yingwu, he wrote a harmonious poem: "The dewdrops are dropping and the leaves are singing, and the osmanthus blossoms are blooming in the autumn wind. Among them are a couple who are studying immortals, playing the flute to play with the autumn moon." Dewdrops dripped on the leaves of the phoenix tree, and the sweet-scented osmanthus fragrantly drifted in the wind. Fellow Taoists who were practicing immortality together were playing the flute gently in the moonlight.
This poem by Qiu Dan was a reply to Wei Yingwu. He said that of course he did not fall asleep on that beautiful autumn night, but he was not listening to the falling pine nuts, but the sound of the flute under the moon. Although the poem is not as well written as Wei Yingwu's, it is still quite interesting and shows the poetic and picturesque nature of living in seclusion.
When people are in good times and beautiful scenery, they often think of their relatives or lovers far away, and wonder what they are doing. Have they slept? However, the phrase "the lonely person should not sleep" in this poem is certainly not thinking about his friend's daily life, but hoping that he will not miss such a good night.
In other words, the friendship between them is due to similar aesthetic tastes and life pursuits. This is what the ancients called "bosom friends"; this kind of emotional exchange is at a high level, as mentioned earlier. The poems exchanged between Wei Qiu and the feeling of tranquility and beauty in the poem can transcend time and space. It not only transcends the mountains and rivers between the two people, but also impresses countless close friends for thousands of years.
