Autumn Night is a seven-character quatrain written by Du Mu, a poet in the Tang Dynasty. This poem describes a lonely maid-in-waiting, looking up at the cowherd and weaver girl on both sides of the Tianhe River on Tanabata night, fanning fireflies from time to time to relieve loneliness, reflecting the unfortunate fate of court women and showing the depressed mood of an unaccompanied and bored official girl.
In the autumn night, the delicate silver candle emits faint light, which adds a bit of cool color to the painting screen; A maid-in-waiting was holding a small fan and patting the flying fireflies. The day and night order is as cool as water; Sitting on the sofa and looking up at the starry sky, I saw Altair looking at Vega from far away.
Literary appreciation
This poem is about the loneliness and bitterness of a frustrated girl's life. The first sentence is about autumn scenery, and the word "cold" is used, which implies the crisp atmosphere in autumn and shows the inner loneliness of the hero. Write two sentences to kill time and relieve depression by flapping fireflies. Three words: I can't sleep at night, waiting for good luck, taking the street as water to compare your love as ice. In the last sentence, I admire the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl to express my grief.
