Author Wang Wei? the Tang Dynasty
I am a lonely stranger in a strange land, and I miss my family more often during the holidays.
When I think of my brothers' bodies climbing high, I will feel a little regret for not being able to reach me.
Translation:
Being alone is always a bit bleak, and I miss my distant relatives every time I go to the Double Ninth Festival.
Far away, I feel sorry for myself when I think of my brothers climbing high with dogwood.

Thinking of Shandong Brothers in the Mountain Festival is a poem by the Tang Dynasty poet Wang Wei. This poem describes the homesickness of a wanderer. At the beginning of the poem, I cut into the theme and wrote about the loneliness and sadness of living in a foreign land. Therefore, I always miss my hometown and people, and I miss them even more when I meet a festive occasion.
Then the poem jumps to writing a brother who is far away from home. When they climbed the mountain according to the custom of the Double Ninth Festival, they also missed themselves. The poetry of the whole poem jumps repeatedly, implicative and deep, simple and natural, full of twists and turns. Among them, "I miss my relatives twice during the festive season" is a famous sentence throughout the ages.
This lyric poem written by Wang Wei as a teenager is very simple, which is different from his later landscape poems, which are very picturesque and pay attention to composition and color. But this poem has a strong touching power, especially for people who are away from home. This power comes from its simplicity, profundity and high generalization.
