This is a very, very beautiful pastoral poem, titled "On the River in Autumn Evening", written by the modern poet Liu Dabai.
This poem has a profound meaning, and in the poet's writing, it has a sad beauty. "Tired" and "tuo" are the two key words. The returning bird is tired, this is the poet's imagination, and it is also the poet's emotion. Bird fatigue is actually also human fatigue.
The word "tuo", on the one hand, is a further rendering of the scenery and a wonderful imagination, and on the other hand, it also highlights the degree of bird fatigue, because "tuo" is a kind of load, and what is carried is the sun. What you see in this way is not just a scenery, but also the poet's experience of life.
