The street lights in the distance are bright. , seems to be shining with countless stars.
The stars in the sky appeared, as if they were lighting up countless street lamps.
I think there must be a beautiful market in the misty sky.
Some of the items displayed in the street market must be rare and rare in the world.
Look, the shallow Milky Way is definitely not very wide.
The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl across the river will definitely be able to ride the cows back and forth.
I think they must be wandering around Tianjie at this moment.
If you don’t believe it, please look at the shooting star.
Even if they are walking with lanterns.
Extended information
Creative background: In the early 1920s, the waves of the May Fourth Movement had subsided, and the era of great revolution had not yet come. Semi-colonial and semi-feudal China is still ruled by the imperialist powers and the warlords they support. The poet was wandering in depression. He was dissatisfied with reality and yearned passionately for a better future. Induced by the bright starry sky, he wrote this romantic song "Street Market in the Sky".
In the first paragraph of the poem, the poet compares stars to street lights. Dots of stars are scattered on the sky, and the distant world arouses people's infinite reverie. Street lights are a common sight, very close to us and can be seen almost everywhere. The poet compares the distant street lights to the stars in the sky, and also describes the stars in the sky as street lights in the world. It can be seen that in the poet's mind, the world and heaven are one.
The second to fourth paragraphs of the poem describe the wonders of the "street market in the sky" imagined by the poet. In these twelve lines of poetry, the poet uses four words "dingran" and one "ding". His affirmative tone is his firm belief that there will be a good life. Since the "street market in the sky" displays "rare things that are not found in the world," it must be a much better place than the real world.
The poet also seemed to see the legendary Cowherd and Weaver Girl enjoying a free and happy life there. The Cowherd and Weaver Girl in the poem are the embodiment of the Chinese people. Originally, the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl in the legendary story were unhappy after they arrived in heaven. They were isolated on both sides of the Tianhe River and could only meet once a year. However, in the poem "Street Market in the Sky", the Tianhe River becomes "shallow", not It is so wide that it no longer hinders lovers.
So the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl could stroll around Tianjie together, and the poet even saw the lanterns they were holding. This illusory scene actually shows a vivid sense of reality in the author's writing. The beautiful and happy sky street described by the author provides readers with the taste of human life.
