Poems about life by the lake

the Tang Dynasty

Wang Wei

Empty mountains after rain,

Standing in the autumn evening.

Moonlight in the pine forest,

Crystal gems in the stream.

Bamboo whispered to the washerwoman who came home,

The lotus leaf gave in before the fishing boat.

What does it matter if spring is over?

When you're here, oh, a friend's prince? .

It has just rained on the quiet mountain, and the weather is like late autumn.

The bright moonlight shines from the cracks in the branches and leaves of pine trees, and the clear spring water flows among the rocks.

The girls who came home after washing clothes were noisy in the bamboo forest, and the fishing boats downstream were picking lotus leaves on both sides.

Even if the flowers in the mountains wither in late spring, they are still happy to stay in the mountains.

Autumn Night in the Mountain is a five-character poem written by Wang Wei in the Tang Dynasty. The cool autumn after the rain, the light of the bright moon in the pine forest, the sound of the clear spring on the stone, the laughter of the girl returning to the bamboo forest and the movement of the fish boat crossing the lotus flower in the poem are harmoniously and perfectly integrated, giving people a rich and fresh feeling. It is not only like a fresh and beautiful landscape painting, but also like a quiet and beautiful lyric music, which embodies the poet's creative characteristics of painting into poetry.
