The meaning of this poem is: friends are looking forward to meeting each other, but they don't know when, at this time and on such a night, it's hard not to miss each other.

This poem comes from the poem "Three Five Seven Words" written by Li Bai, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, also known as "Autumn Wind Poetry". The original text of this poem is as follows:

Autumn wind is clear, autumn moon is bright,

The fallen leaves are still scattered, and the west Western jackdaw is shocked.

Acacia knows when to meet, and this night is embarrassing.

Vernacular translation

The autumn wind is clear and the autumn moon is bright.

When the leaves in the wind gather and disperse, the western Western jackdaw has already inhabited and was awakened by the bright moon.

Friends are looking forward to meeting each other, but I don't know when, at this time and on such a night, it's hard not to miss each other.

Extended data:

This poem was written on a late autumn night. The poet saw the bright moon hanging high in the sky, and Western jackdaw in the west perched on a deciduous tree. Perhaps at this time, the poet is missing an old lover. This situation can not help but make the poet feel sad and helpless. This lingering love and yearning makes the poet feel sorry for getting to know each other. The poet compared himself to western Western jackdaw, expressing infinite melancholy. This is a typical sad autumn work. Autumn wind, autumn moon, fallen leaves and Western jackdaw in the west set off a sad atmosphere. The poet's fantastic imagination and perfect portrayal of his own heart make the whole poem sad and moving.

Many people think that the style of this poem is very similar to a small word, with obvious musical characteristics. From the aspect of creative mechanism, it should be a chorus poem that emphasizes the formal characteristics of the work.

In terms of poetic style, Li Bai invented this "two-piece superposition" format of "33577" on the basis of learning from and summarizing the experience of other poets in using the sentence pattern of "33577" and combining his own practical experience in writing songs, and achieved success.
