Where the mountains meet the sky, there are clouds and clouds.
Looking at the afterglow of the sunset through the cracks in the bamboo forest.
Birds are flying happily on the eaves,
White clouds floated out of the window.

This little Book of Songs shows the scene of a mountain village in a simple way, just like a wonderful sketch. This style is used to form a special environment and give people a fresh feeling.
The poem describes the poet's interesting life in the mountains: surrounded by mountains, bamboo and wood are flourishing, birds are flying on the eaves of others, and clouds are floating outside the window. This kind of seclusion exhausted the dust of the world and expressed the poet's comfortable and leisurely mood casually and vividly. The whole poem is only four short sentences, one sentence and one scene, but each sentence is inseparable from the theme of "in the mountains", which is a common phenomenon in quiet mountains. When the sun sets, you can only see the oblique glow of its veins in the cracks of the bamboo forest, indicating that the bamboo forest is dense and lush, and the fun in the mountains has already come out in the first two sentences. Birds come and go on the eaves and white clouds pass through the windows, all of which show that the poet lives on a very high terrain and is planted with bamboo in Maolin.
Although each of these four sentences is a scene, people are always in it. For example, "seeing" and "peeking" in the first two sentences all indicate that there is someone behind the scene, and the scene written is only seen by people, not a purely objective description. As for "on the roof" and "in the window" in three or four sentences, people's existence is more clearly revealed. Moreover, the poet's joy in living in the mountains has been hinted at in his landscape writing, and his calm and detached state of mind can also be seen here.
The whole poem reflects the tranquility and detachment of the mountain residence, away from the hubbub. It expresses the poet's peaceful and happy thoughts and his love for nature.
