This sentence comes from the Song of Birds written by the Tang Dynasty poet Wang Wei.
People are idle, osmanthus flowers fall, and the night is quiet and empty.
When the moon comes out, the birds are startled, and the sound enters the spring stream.
Leisure: quiet, leisurely, which means silence.
Empty: empty, empty.
People are idle, osmanthus flowers fall, and the night is quiet and empty. It should be noted that the word osmanthus seems to contradict spring. Osmanthus fragrans usually blooms in autumn, but in this sentence, it blooms in spring, which is a kind of spring flowering. Osmanthus fragrans is small and warm, which can better reflect "leisure" and "quietness".
Extended data:
This poem is one of the representative works of Wang Wei's landscape poems. From the perspective of literary creation, the subtlety of this poem lies in the contrast between "dynamic" and "static"
Joe's poetic style. The first sentence, "osmanthus flowers fall when people are idle, and the mountains are empty at night", describes the scenery with sound and skillfully uses synaesthesia to make a dynamic scene of "flowers fall"
Plus "leisure".
Flowers bloom and fall all belong to the sound of nature. Only when the heart is really idle and the infatuation with worldly distractions is put down can the individual spirit be improved.
Rise to an "empty" realm. At that time, the background was "late at night", and the poet obviously couldn't see the scenery of osmanthus falling, but because of the "quiet night" and the "meditation" of the people watching the scenery, he still felt the process of osmanthus falling from the branches and falling to the ground.
While reading aloud, we seem to have entered the "fragrant flower of the forest"
Scenery in the rain. The "Spring Mountain" here has left us a blank of imagination. Because it is a spring mountain, we can imagine the noisy picture during the day: beautiful spring, birds and flowers.
Incense, laughter. At this time, the night is still, the tourists leave, and the noise during the day disappears.
Lost, the mountain is idle, in fact, "emptiness" and the poet's state of mind are like Zen.
Only when his mood is free and easy can he capture scenes that others can't feel. At the end of the sentence, "the bird is startled when the moon rises, and the spring stream rings when it rings", that is, the silence of the night seems to be broken by movement, surprise and singing.
In fact, the description of sound sets off the quietness and leisure in the mountains.
The moon appeared from the clouds, the quiet moonlight streamed down, and several birds came from
Waking up in my sleep, whispering from time to time, listening to the thin sound of running water in the spring mountain stream, what sets off in front of the readers is the overall artistic conception of this quiet mountain forest.
