XijiangYue nocturnal in the Middle of Huangsha Road
Song Xin abandoned the disease
The bright moon does not startle the magpies, and the breeze chirps cicadas in the middle of the night. Rice blossoms say good year. Listen to the sound of frogs.
Seven or eight stars out of the sky, two or three o'clock before the rainy mountain. In the old days, the maodian community was on the edge of the forest. Road to Creek Bridge was suddenly seen.
Translation: The bright moon in the sky rose up the treetops, startling the magpies perched on the branches. The cool evening breeze seemed to hear the distant sound of cicadas. In the aroma of rice blossoms, people talk about the harvest year, and the cries of frogs are heard in their ears, as if they are talking about the harvest year. The sky was filled with light clouds, twinkling stars were looming, and a light rain had fallen in front of the mountain, and the familiar hut was still nestled in the woods near the Temple of Land. Turning a corner, the mao shop suddenly appeared in front of him.
Interpretation: In the eighth year (1181) of Emperor Xiaozong of Song's reign, Xin was dismissed from office because he was ostracized by his traitors, and returned to his home in Shangrao lake, where he lived for nearly fifteen years, living a life of idle retirement. During this period, although he also had a short career experience, he mostly lived in Shangrao and left a lot of lyrics here. This song is one of them.
