Original text: Tianjingsha·Qiu Si
Yuan Dynasty: Ma Zhiyuan
Withered vines and old trees, dim crows,
People with small bridges and flowing water ,
Westerly wind and thin horse on the ancient road.
The sun sets in the west,
The heartbroken people are at the end of the world.
Translation: At dusk, a group of crows landed on an old tree entwined with dead vines, emitting a shrill cry.
The water flowed under the bridge and smoke curled up from the houses beside the bridge.
A skinny horse trudged forward on the ancient road against the west wind.
The sunset gradually lost its luster and set from the west.
In the cold night, there are only lonely travelers wandering in distant places.

Appreciation:
The setting sun hangs on the top of the mountain as if it is about to set, and I reluctantly complete the day's mission. The scenery in front of me is really desolate. The vines are withered vines and have no life. The tree is a thousand-year-old tree, and the rustling west wind is blowing it towards the end of its life.
The road is a desolate ancient road, and the horse is a thin and weak horse. How can people who are wandering at the ends of the world not be able to stop themselves when faced with such a desolate scenery. Look at the small bridge, the flowing water, and the people, they are all so peaceful and quiet. It's so warm again. But my hometown and relatives are so far away from me.
Such a bleak scenery makes people feel desolate, and the tranquil and warm bridges, flowing water, and people make it contrast, making the sadness more profound and the sadness even more tragic. This is the beauty of describing scenery!
Withered, old, faint, ancient, thin, I feel very sad after the next word, and I can no longer form a sentence by myself. As for the finished article, it can make people burst into tears. The most critical point is to write the word "thin" before the horse. The wonderful thing is that I want to describe the thinness of the person but not the person. The thinness of the horse is used to highlight the thinness and poverty of the person. The hardships of the journey. The hardship of seeking fame. It makes people feel the pain even more when they read it, and makes people feel more deeply when they chant it. Those who read this song without crying do not understand its meaning.
