At night, I stood in Gaodong and looked at it from a distance. I hesitated and didn't know what to do. Layers of trees are stained with autumn colors, and the mountains are covered by the afterglow of the sunset. The shepherd drove the cattle home, and the hunter passed me with his prey. Everyone is relatively silent and doesn't know each other. I really want to live in seclusion in the mountains!
The author of this poem is Wang Ji, a poet in the Tang Dynasty. The original poem is as follows:
Looking at the dusk in Gaodong, I want to rely on it.
Trees are all autumn colors, and mountains are only sparkling.
The shepherd brought the calf back, hunted horses and brought birds back.
Care for no acquaintances, Long song pregnant with Cai Wei.
Wang Ji (about 589-644), a native of Longmen County, Gujiangfu (Tonghua Town, Wanrong County, Shanxi Province, 1972 was included in Wanrong County from Hejin County), was a poet in the Tang Dynasty. At the end of sui dynasty, filial piety was given, except for the official word. Chao was unhappy, resigned on sick leave, and awarded Yangzhou Liuhe Cheng again. When the world was in chaos, I abandoned my official position and returned to my hometown. Before Tang Wude and the imperial edict, court officials stayed in this province. At the beginning of Zhenguan, he returned to He Zhu sick and devoted himself to Gaodong (now Suzhou Wuliu Scenic Area), hence the name "Donggaozi". Simple and arrogant, addicted to alcohol, can drink five fights. He made a biography of Mr. Wudou himself, wrote the wine classics and the wine spectrum, with the notes of Lao Hezhuang. His poems are near but not shallow, good in quality, really sparse, broad-minded and ambitious, catching up with Wei and Jin Dynasties. The body of law originated in the Six Dynasties and was formed in Sui and Tang Dynasties.
The genre of this poem is five-character verse. Since Shen Yue and others applied legal knowledge to poetry creation in the first year of Qiyong in the Southern Dynasties, this new genre of legal poetry has been brewing. In the early Tang Dynasty, Shen Quanqi's and Song's regular poems became an important poetic genre. Wang Ji, more than 60 years earlier than Shen and Song, can write such a mature poem as Wild Hope, which shows that he is a man who dares to try new forms. The beginning and end of this poem are lyrical, and the middle is lyrical. After the repetition of emotion-scene-emotion, the meaning of poetry has deepened. This is in line with a basic composition of metrical poetry. This poem is about Shan Ye and autumn scenery. In the bleak and quiet scenery description, the whole poem expresses loneliness and anguish, and expresses melancholy and loneliness.
