Third of the four lyrics of "Stepping": New words are passed from generation to generation, and the sleeves are rolled up and the servant girl is exposed to the wind. The moon sets, the crows cry, the clouds and rain disperse, and wandering children pick up flowers on the street.
Original text:
The moon sets, the crows cry, the clouds and rain disperse, and the wandering children pick up flowers on the street.
Translation:
The moon sets, the crows crow, the clouds and rain disperse, and a child picks up flowers on the road.
Appreciation:
The "moonset" and "crow" here imply the passage of time and the shortness of life. "Clouds and rain disperse" expresses an emotion of alienation and loneliness. "Young Tong" represents youth and vitality, while "Shihua Tian" shows the pursuit and cherishing of beautiful things. This description is in sharp contrast to the loneliness in the previous sentence, and also expresses the poet's yearning for beautiful things.
