Poetry in autumn night

Poetry of autumn night: In autumn night, the delicate silver candles give off cold candlelight, reflecting a deserted painting screen. The maid-in-waiting is holding a small fan and flapping the flying fireflies. The stone steps in the night are as cold as cold water, and the ladies-in-waiting sit quietly on the stone steps and stare at the cowherd and weaver girl on both sides of the Tianhe River. The whole poem "Autumn Night" depicts the life in the deep palace, showing the loneliness and bitterness of frustrated maids.

The original poem of autumn night

In the autumn night, candlelight reflected the screen, and Fan slapped the fireflies with his hand.

The stone steps at night are as cold as cold water, sitting and staring at the cowherd and the weaver girl.

Appreciation of autumn night

The first sentence describes life in the palace. A lonely maid-in-waiting is beating the flying fireflies with a small fan, showing her loneliness and boredom. In ancient poetry, autumn fan is often used to describe the abandonment of a wife, and "ignoring a small fan" symbolizes the fate of the maid-in-waiting who holds the fan being abandoned. The last two sentences present the scenery of the autumn night in the deep palace to the readers very realistically, showing the ladies' longing for sincere love and reflecting the tragic fate of women in feudal times from the side.

The language of the whole poem is concise and fluent, with graceful feelings, and the description of objects and scenes is combined with narrative lyric, which is seamless.
