Village Night is a poet of Tang DynastyBai JuyiA song createdfour-line poem with seven characters per line。This is a poem that depicts the night scene in the countryside.When I started writing, I used two words, "Cangcang", which showed the thick and boundless autumn color;With the word "cut", Xuan Ran was sad and silent in the autumn night.The second sentence, "pedestrians must be", is extremely silent.The second sentence describes the scenery. The picture is bleak and desolate, revealing the poet's lonely mood.The third sentence is a transitional sentence. The description object turns from the village to the field, and unfolds a fresh picture on a moonlit night.[2]This poem is not rich and beautiful, and its language is not surprising. Just with light ink, it depicts a common and poetic village night.The natural scenery before and after is in sharp contrast, and the characters have strong emotional contrast, but the transition is smooth and natural.[6]

Literary appreciation
This poem does not have a surprising pen, nor does it use flamboyant words and beautiful sentences. It only uses line drawing to draw a common rural night.It's easy to tell, but it's fresh, quiet and poetic.
"The frost grass is cut by insects, and the people in the south and north of the village are unique". The frost grass highlights the thick autumn color;The chirping of insects magnified the sadness of autumn night.The two lines of poetry clearly delineate the characteristics of the village night.Although the scenery here is purely natural, as Wang Guowei said in his Modern Human Words: "All scenery words are love words." The bleak scenery reveals the poet's lonely feelings.This way of expressing feelings in the scenery is more charming than direct lyricism.
"Going out alone and looking at the wild field" is a transition in the poem, which turns the description object from the village to the field;It was also a turning point between the two couplets, which ended the depiction of the bleak and gloomy atmosphere of the village night, and launched another refreshing picture for the readers: the bright moonlight was shining on the endless buckwheat fields, and from afar, it was brilliant and dazzling, like a crystal white snow.
"Moonlight buckwheat flowers are like snow", which is a very moving scenery. The picturesque beauty of nature infected the poet, making him forget his loneliness temporarily, and can not help but exclaim in surprise.This magnificent scene is in sharp contrast to the description in the previous two sentences.The poet is ingenious in writing the changes of characters' feelings through the transformation of natural scenery, which is flexible and free without trace;Moreover, the writing is simple and unadorned, natural and charming, with endless aftertaste.[3]
