On the golden mean

The reason why I like Xijiang Moon to take Huangsha Road: This word deliberately describes the night scene of Huangsha Ridge: bright moon and breeze, sparse stars and rain, cicada singing, rice fragrance and frog singing. The whole poem describes the mountain village scenery in summer night from three aspects: vision, hearing and smell. It is a masterpiece of rural life in Song Ci.

Walking along Huangsha Road on a Moonlight Night in Xijiang is a poem describing the rural scenery when Xin Qiji, a poet in Song Dynasty, relegated Jiangxi.

Full text: The bright moon surprises the magpie, and the breeze chirps at midnight. The cool evening breeze seems to have spread to cicadas in the distance. ? In the fragrance of rice and flowers, people talk about the harvest of a year, and frogs croak in their ears, as if in a bumper harvest year. In the old days, Maodian was near the forest, and the road turned to the stream bridge.

Translation:

The bright moon on the horizon rose to the treetops, scaring the magpies perched on the branches. The cool evening breeze seems to blow the cicadas in the distance. In the fragrant rice, people are talking about the harvest year, and there are waves of frogs in their ears, as if talking about the harvest year.

There are faint clouds in the sky, twinkling stars appear and disappear, and there is light rain in front of the mountain. In order to avoid rain, I hurried across the stream from the bridge. Where did the hut shop by the Woods near the Land Temple go before? Turning a corner, Maodian suddenly appeared in front of us.

Whole word appreciation:

On the surface, the first two sentences of Xin Qiji's poems, "The bright moon surprises the magpie, and the breeze crows at midnight", describe the wind, the moon, cicadas, magpies and other extremely ordinary scenery. However, through the clever combination of the author, the result is unusual in peacetime. The magpie is flying around the oblique and abrupt branches, not hovering over the ordinary tree heads.

Because of the bright moonlight, the magpie was awakened; Magpies flying in fright will naturally cause other branches to shake. At the same time, cicadas have their own time to sing.

The chirping at night is different from the neighing under the scorching sun. When the cool wind blows slowly, it is often very quiet. In a word, the sentences of "surprised magpie" and "singing cicada" contain the silence in the movement, and describe the scenery under the "breeze" and "bright moon" in the middle of the night carefree and fascinating.
