House of Bamboo
Tang Dynasty: Wang Wei
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.
Translation:
Sitting alone in a quiet bamboo forest, singing loudly while playing the piano.
No one in the mountains and forests knows? Only a bright moon accompanied me quietly.
Extended data
This poem was written during 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. With a quiet mind, the poet met the quiet nature of bamboo forest and bright moon and wrote a book with great care.
The environment in which the poet started his activities was quiet. The word "independence" at the beginning left a prominent impression on readers, and the word "independence" also runs through the whole article. "Dark fire" refers to the depths of bamboo forest. As the name implies, the "Bamboo Pavilion" is a house built deep in the bamboo forest, and Wang Wei sits alone in it. Only the first sentence of the poem shapes the image of a leisurely solitaire.
The second sentence inherits the poet's carefree, alone, and expresses his feelings by playing the piano and whistling. We know that Wang Wei is a famous musician, so after passing the Jinshi exam, he became too happy.
However, it is obvious that he is sitting alone in the bamboo pavilion playing the piano, not for people to appreciate, but to express his embrace. "Long whistle" means singing a poem loudly with a long voice. It is obvious that playing the piano is not enough to express your feelings, and then I sang again. The poem he sang may be this "Bamboo House".
