Translation
On a slightly cool late autumn night, another old man was leisurely and comfortable.
After blowing out the lamp, I lay down to sleep late, and gradually fell asleep to the sound of autumn rain.
The fire in the brazier has been extinguished. Add some fire and toast the quilt.
It was sunny in the morning and it was a bit cold. I didn’t want to think about it. Look outside the window and see the leaves turned red with frost. Appreciation
"Sleeping in the Autumn Rain at Night" is a theme that the ancients were familiar with. However, Bai Juyi was able to expand his artistic conception, grasp the character traits of the characters in a specific environment and describe them in detail, successfully portraying the image of a comfortable and leisurely old man.
"On a cool autumn night, an old man is at ease." The poet uses the "cool" feeling given by the climate environment to describe the late autumn night, which gives the whole poem a late autumn tone. There was no wind and rain, but it was still so cold. Coupled with the attack of autumn wind and rain, the poet naturally felt even more chilly. The use of this lining technique can fully mobilize the reader's imagination and enhance the appeal of the poem. The second sentence points out the character. The word "ease" outlines the image of the "old man" who likes quietness and dislikes movement, and is indifferent and has few desires.
"After the lights were turned off in Wo Chi, I fell asleep to the sound of beautiful rain." "Wo Chi" describes the characteristics of the old man. The elderly do not sleep well, and would rather sit around and close their eyes to rest their minds. They do not like to go to bed early, so as not to be unable to sleep at night. If the old man is not "sleeping late", he may not be able to "sleep beautifully" with the sound of rain. The three words "after the lights go out" are used to explain the time of "lying late", which is interesting. The autumn rain is pattering outside the window, and the "old man" inside the house is sleeping peacefully and "beautifully", which shows that he has a clear mind and a leisurely mood.
The above two couplets depict the character of the old man based on his sleeping situation on the autumn rainy night. The second half of the poem further describes the situation after the old man wakes up from his sleep.
"The ashes warm the fire in the bottle, and the incense warms the quilt." The fuel in the baking bottle has turned to ashes over the night, taking care of the old man's "sleeping beauty". It was only the third autumn night and it was already time to warm up by the fire, which highlighted the old man's fear of cold. The night has passed, and logically the old man should get up, but he still wants to "add fragrance and warm the quilt" and plans to continue lying down, vividly depicting the image of the old man who is in decline and idle. Creation background: This poem was written in the autumn of the sixth year of Yamato (832) by Emperor Wenzong of the Tang Dynasty, when Bai Juyi was appointed Yin of Henan. The poet was over sixty years old, frail and sick, and his official duties were idle. In addition, his close poetry friend Yuan Zhen had passed away, so he felt particularly lonely and cold. Bai Juyi (772-846), whose courtesy name was Letian, also known as Xiangshan Jushi, and also Mr. Zuiyin, was originally from Taiyuan. He moved to Xiagui at the time of his great-grandfather and was born in Xinzheng, Henan. He was a great realist poet in the Tang Dynasty and one of the three major poets in the Tang Dynasty. Bai Juyi and Yuan Zhen jointly advocated the New Yuefu Movement, known as "Yuan Bai" in the world, and "Liu Bai" together with Liu Yuxi. Bai Juyi's poetry has a wide range of themes, diverse forms, and simple and popular language. He is known as the "Poetry Demon" and the "Poetry King". He became a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy and a doctor of Zuo Zanshan. In 846 AD, Bai Juyi died in Luoyang and was buried in Xiangshan. There is "Bai's Changqing Collection" handed down from generation to generation, and his representative poems include "Song of Everlasting Sorrow", "Charcoal Seller", "Pipa Play" and so on.
Bai Juyi Qing Huai and Turbid Bian. More on the west bank of the Yangtze River. When the red leaves arrive, the yellow leaves become messy. Frost entered the palace of King Liang. Where can I carry a pot in Qiuyuan? I stopped to visit the ancient times and hesitated. The legacy of the twin temples still exists, but there should be no proud officials in the lacquer garden. ——Su Shi, Song Dynasty, "Qing Ping Le·Qiu Ci"

Where to carry the pot in Qiuyuan. I stopped to visit the ancient times and hesitated. The legacy of the twin temples still exists, but there should be no proud officials in the lacquer garden. In autumn, I write about the scenery with a feeling of nostalgia. The autumn wind rises and white clouds fly, the vegetation turns yellow and the wild geese return south. The orchids are beautiful, the chrysanthemums are fragrant, and I can’t forget the beauty I have in my heart. The floating boats are coming to the Fen River, and the waves are flowing across the middle. The flutes and drums are singing, and the music is singing, and there is great joy and much sadness. How long will it take to be young and old? ——Liu Che's "Autumn Wind Ci" in the Han Dynasty
Autumn Wind Ci The autumn wind rises and white clouds fly, and the grass and trees turn yellow and the wild geese return south.
The orchids are beautiful and the chrysanthemums are fragrant. I cannot forget the beautiful woman I am pregnant with.
The floating boat is coming to the Fen River, and the Su wave is flowing across the middle.
The flutes and drums are singing, and the music is singing, and there is great joy and much sadness.
How can you be old when you are young? Three hundred ancient poems, autumn, writing about wind, Yuefu, life and years, the leaves in the garden are turning autumn towards the evening. The cold anvil knocks the moon and urges gold scissors. It's cold upstairs. Can't bear to lean on the fence too often. The neighbor opened a social urn. Guests should be greeted with great affection. No drunkenness and no return. Lost in the road when drunk. ——Zhang Xiaoxiang of the Song Dynasty "The Bodhisattva Man·The leaves in the garden are turning in autumn towards the evening"
The Bodhisattva Man·The leaves in the garden are turning in autumn and are heading towards the evening. The cold anvil knocks the moon and urges gold scissors. It's cold upstairs. Can't bear to lean on the fence too often.
A neighbor opened a social urn. Guests should be greeted with great affection. No drunkenness and no return. Lost in the road when drunk.
Graceful, inviting guests in autumn
