1. "Thoughts on a Quiet Night"
Li Bai of the Tang Dynasty
The bright moonlight in front of the bed is suspected to be frost on the ground. Raise your head to look at the bright moon, lower your head to think about your hometown.
2. "Yin Yu"
Tang·Bai Juyi
The mist is heavy today, and the country is deep here. The sound of the beach is more urgent in autumn, and the air in the gorge is more cloudy at dawn.
The clouds cover my eyes when I look at the palace, and my heart is filled with homesickness and raindrops. How can we comfort Youdu? I rely on this North Window Qin.
3. "Cold Food in Guests"
Li Zhong of the Tang Dynasty
After traveling with cold food during the trip, I shed tears of homesickness. The music and books are broken outside the sky, and the peach and plum rain is in the spring.
There is no reason to drink, but there seems to be a reason for chanting. There are so many people outing outside his suburbs.
4. "Autumn Thoughts on the Bank of the River"
Du Xunhe of the Tang Dynasty
Driving his horse along the river, homesickness arose every step of the way. Raise the whip to wave the willow color, and lose the sound of cicadas.
Autumn crops are bounded by long roads, and cold clouds surround the ancient city. When the family is poor and prosperous, they have no land to farm.
1. "Quiet Night Thoughts":
Vernacular translation:
The bright moonlight shines on the window paper, as if there is a layer of frost on the ground. I couldn't help but raise my head and look at the bright moon in the sky outside the window that day. I couldn't help but lower my head and think about my hometown far away.
Creative background:
Li Bai's "Quiet Night Thoughts" was created in a Yangzhou hotel on September 15, the 14th year of Kaiyuan (726) by Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, when Li Bai was 26 years old. At the same time and in the same place, there was also a song called "Traveler's Feelings on an Autumn Evening". On a night with few stars, the poet looked up at the bright moon in the sky. Feeling homesick, he wrote this famous poem "Thoughts on a Quiet Night" that has been passed down through the ages and is well-known at home and abroad.
Appreciation:
The first two sentences describe the poet's momentary illusion in the specific environment of visiting a foreign country. Anyone visiting a foreign country will have this feeling: being busy during the day can dilute the sorrow of separation, but in the dead of night, homesickness will inevitably arise in the heart. This is especially true on moonlit nights, especially autumn nights when the moon is like frost. The word "suspect" in "Suspect is frost on the ground" vividly expresses the poet's confusion when he first wakes up from sleep, mistaking the cold moonlight shining in front of his bed for thick frost covering the ground. The word "frost" is used better. It not only describes the brightness of the moonlight, but also expresses the coldness of the season. It also highlights the loneliness and desolation of the poet wandering in a foreign country.
The last two sentences deepen the homesickness through the depiction of movements and expressions. The word "wang" echoes the word "suspicious" in the previous sentence, indicating that the poet has turned from daze to sobriety. He stared at the moon eagerly, and couldn't help but think that his hometown was also under the shining of this bright moon at this moment, which naturally led to The ending of "bow down and think about hometown". The action of "lowering the head" depicts the poet completely in deep contemplation. The word "thinking" leaves readers with rich imagination: the fathers and brothers, relatives and friends in the hometown, the mountains, rivers, plants and trees in the hometown, the lost years and past events, are all missed. The content contained in the word "thinking" is really rich.
A short four-line poem, written in a fresh and simple way, as clear as words. The composition is meticulous and profound, and it can be sung without any trace. The content is simple, yet rich; the content is easy to understand, yet inexhaustible. What the poet did not say is much more than what he has said, which embodies the wonderful state of "nature" and "no intention of work but no work".
2. "Yinyu": The mountains and fog are particularly heavy today, but the world is vast, yet this place is so remote and far-reaching. The smell of autumn brought by the river at the beach is rushing towards my face. The climate in the valley is humid, and sunny days are mostly cloudy. Looking towards the Imperial Capital, but the clouds covered my eyes, thinking about my hometown, the rain on the eaves dripped into my heart. What can I use to comfort my deep and hesitant thoughts? I can only rely on the piano under the north window to relieve the loneliness in my heart.
3. "Cold Food in a Guesthouse": This poem mainly expresses the homesickness and sorrow of travelers abroad. I wrote this poem because I was moved by the scene. Every sentence is romantic and the words convey the meaning, giving the reader a kind of spiritual shock.
The author spent the Cold Food Festival in a different place. He was so homesick that his towel was wet with tears. He even lost the mood to drink. This kind of state of mind, the author compares himself to, those outside the suburbs, those who go out and enjoy themselves in time, cannot compare with them.
4. "Autumn Thoughts on the River Bank"
Homesickness actually means missing home. Missing family means missing relatives in hometown and missing people when seeing things. Homesickness poems mainly describe the desolate and lonely state of mind of wanderers living in foreign lands and their longing for their hometown and relatives.
