Vacation in the mountains reminds me of my brothers in Shandong.
Wang Wei? Tang dynasty
I am a lonely stranger in a strange land, and I miss my family more often during the holidays.
When I think of my brothers' bodies climbing high, I will feel a little regret for not being able to reach me.
Translation:
A person who is a stranger in a foreign land misses his relatives twice every festive season.
Imagine that I was the only one with dogwood on my head when my brothers climbed the mountain and looked far today.
Appreciate:
"Being a stranger alone in a foreign land" begins with the poet's loneliness in a foreign land. The poet used one word "independence" and two words "difference" in this short sentence, which shows that the poet has a strong feeling of living in a different place. The lonelier he is outside, the more he misses his relatives in his hometown.
In the feudal society at that time, the traffic was blocked, people lived a self-sufficient life, and there was little communication between regions, so people in different places had great differences in customs, living habits, language and so on. Therefore, the poet left his hometown where he had lived for many years and naturally felt strange and lonely. The poet described his life in a foreign land flatly, but it contained his simple thoughts and feelings.
