Maodian crows on the moon, and Banqiao frost is cold and cheerless.

Shang shan Zao hang

Wen tingjun

I began to recruit priests in the morning and felt sorry for my hometown.

When a chicken crows at the Maodian Moon, people walk on the Banqiao Frost.

Mistletoe leaves fall on the mountain road, and orange flowers are on the wall of the post.

Because they remembered Ling Du's dream, the geese returned home full of food.

Ling Du: In the south of Chang 'an, it is named after the location of Xuan Di's mausoleum, which refers to Chang 'an here. At this time, the author visited friends in Xiangyang from Chang 'an and passed by Shangshan. Therefore, I remembered my dream in Chang 'an.

[explanation]

This is an emotional work to express personal career setbacks. The first two sentences were written early, which aroused the distant yearning for my hometown. In the middle four sentences, the word "early" suddenly appeared everywhere. The last two sentences say that although I was watching the scenery on the road, I was thinking about "Ling Du Dream" in my mind to express my nostalgia for Chang 'an, loneliness and frustration. The phrase "the cock crows in Maodian and the frost in Banqiao is deserted" is a famous sentence, which arranges several nouns together to form a cold picture of an early trip. Later generations often use this to describe the sight and mood of a wanderer.
