Underlined words have notes: tap one. The Pinyin button below shows or hides all pinyin. 一 and 不 are marked with the tone you actually say.字下有虚线的，点开有注释。下方的“拼音”按钮可以显示或隐藏全部拼音。“一”“不”标的是实际读出来的变调。

The corpus text differs in four places. The common text reads chén (to sink) for an older form of the same word, yǐ lǐ in the usual order, yǐ (with) instead of yǐ (already), and qiáng meaning a ship's mast, where the corpus has a look-alike character meaning a wall, a slip from machine conversion.

语料库作“山沈远照”“逦迤黄昏钟鼓”“已春相付”“客墙南浦”。通行本作“山沉远照”“迤逦黄昏钟鼓”“以春相付”“客樯南浦”。“沈”在古书里常就是“沉”；“墙”是繁简转换时把“樯”（船上的桅杆）弄错了。

Background创作背景

This ci by He Zhu is about longing for home on an autumn night. The exact year it was written is no longer known. The speaker is an official who has served and traveled away from home for many years. The first stanza shows one autumn evening: he hears bells and drums, crickets, and women beating cloth, and feels another year slipping away. The second stanza remembers how proud he was when young, then the years of drifting north and south, and ends by trusting his longing to the moon and to dreams. He Zhu liked to give his tunes new names. Because of its last lines, this Tian Xiang is also called Ban Yun Lai, Coming with the Clouds.

这首词是贺铸写秋夜思归的作品，具体写在哪一年，已经说不清了。词里的“我”是一个在外地做官、奔波多年的人。上片写他在一个秋天的黄昏，听到钟鼓、蟋蟀和捣衣声，觉得一年又要过去；下片回想年轻时的意气，再写这些年南北漂泊，最后把思念寄托在明月和梦里。贺铸喜欢给词牌另起名字，这首《天香》因为最后一句，又叫《伴云来》。

The poet作者

He Zhu (1052–1125) was a ci poet of the Northern Song. He was tall and bold by nature, but all his life he held only small posts and moved from place to place. His ci can be bold or tender. His most famous line is about "rain when the plums turn yellow" in his Qing Yu An. The weariness of an official far from home in this poem reflects his own life.

贺铸（1052—1125），字方回，北宋词人。他长得高大，性格豪爽，却一辈子只做小官，常年在各地奔走。他的词既有豪放的，也有细腻深情的，最有名的是《青玉案》里的“梅子黄时雨”。这首词里的倦宦之感，正是他自己经历的写照。

The mood意境

The first stanza is like a short film made of sounds. It starts far away: mist around the woods, the sun going down, bells and drums drifting in. Then it moves close to the window: candlelight, crickets, and at last the thuds of women beating cloth all over town. Every sound says the same thing: autumn is deep, winter clothes must be made, and people far away should come home. So the weary traveler is startled awake. The second stanza turns to memory. When young he thought all of spring was his. Later he went north and south and got nowhere. With no one to talk to, he turns to the moon. The moon knows the old places, so he asks it to come with the clouds and carry his dream back. The ending is gentle, yet it makes him seem even more alone.

上片像一部用声音拍成的短片。先是远景：烟雾缠着树林，太阳落山，钟鼓声慢慢传来。再拉近到窗前：烛光、蟋蟀，最后是满城此起彼伏的捣衣声。这些声音都在提醒人：秋深了，该准备寒衣了，远方的人该回家了。于是“惊动天涯倦宦”，一个疲惫的旅人被惊醒。下片转到回忆：年轻时以为整个春天都是自己的，后来却南来北往，一事无成。心事没人可说，只好去求月亮。月亮认得旧地，就请它伴着云来，再把梦带回去。结尾轻轻的，却让人觉得更孤单。
