When I walk on a cool autumn night, I think of you and sing my poems. Pine nuts fell on the mountain, and you seem to wake up.
Translation interpretation
I miss you walking on this late autumn night and lament how cold and frosty the weather is.
I think pine nuts are falling in the empty mountains at the moment, and my friends who live in seclusion must still be awake.
Appreciation of ancient poetry
Wei's five-character quatrains have always been highly praised by poetic theorists. Hu Yinglin said in "Poetry": "Suzhou is the oldest of the five words in the Middle Tang Dynasty, and can follow Wang and Meng." Shen Deqian said in "Talking about Poetry": "Five-character quatrains, the nature of secluded cities, the beauty of Taibai, the dullness of Suzhou, blend into the realm." The poem above is one of his masterpieces.
The artistic enjoyment it gives readers is, first of all, the beauty of this simple and carefree style. Shi Buhua once praised this poem in "Poems on Servants", which is quiet and does not reduce friction, but also hidden in the five wonders. It does not impress readers with strong language, but writes calmly and lightly, while the language is shallow and affectionate, concise and long, which makes people feel lasting and endless.
Brief introduction of the author
Wei (the date of birth and death is unknown) is known as "Suzhou of Wei", "Wei" and "Weijiangzhou". Jingzhao Ling Du (now Xi City, Shaanxi Province) was born. The son of Xuanzhou sheriff Luan Wei joined the army. Wei was a poet and official in the Tang Dynasty. He was uninhibited in his early years, and Wei became an official earlier. Since 15 years old, he has served as Sanweilang for Tang.
His character is benevolent, wild and natural. After the Anshi Rebellion, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang lived in Shu, while Wei lived a life of dereliction of duty and began to study hard. Later, he became a scholar and served as the secretariat of Chuzhou, Jiangzhou and Suzhou. Zhenyuan dismissed from office in seven years, and then lived in seclusion in Suzhou Buddhist Temple until the end of the year.
Wei was an idyllic poet, and later he was called Wang Mengweiliu. Wei's poems are very long, and the seven-character singing rhythm is beautiful, and the five laws are full of air, which is intriguing. His five words and seven rhythms are beautiful, and Wei's poems are the best in the five ancient times, with relaxed style and simple language. They are known as the "Great Wall of Five Words", but they also have a beautiful and elegant side.
