A night-mooring near maple bridge's explanation and appreciation.

This poem was written by the poet Zhang Ji, who failed in the exam and couldn't sleep at night on his way home.

The poem means that the moon sets, crows croak, and the weather is cold and frosty. I looked at the maple trees by the river and the lights on the fishing boats, and I was too depressed to sleep. In the middle of the night, the bell of Hanshan Temple outside Gusu City (now Suzhou) reached the passenger ship.

China's ancient poems have beautiful pictures and pay attention to artistic conception. This poem seems to describe some natural scenery, but it is these natural scenery that exudes a touch of sadness and sets off the poet's mood of falling out of the list.

This is the artistic conception of China's ancient poems. Zhang Ji failed the exam, so what? No one remembers who won the first prize that year. However, the faint sadness and sadness expressed in this poem has been circulated for thousands of years. As the saying goes, the article is eternal, and the official career is brilliant for a while.
