Background创作背景

In his middle years Wang Wei bought a country home at Wangchuan in Lantian, near today's Xi'an. He often lived there almost like a hermit. His good friend Pei Di came often. The two walked the hills, wrote poems back and forth, and made a collection together called the Wangchuan poems. Wang Wei wrote this poem for Pei Di while living quietly there. It shows an autumn evening and their friendship. The exact year is not known.

王维中年以后在蓝田（今属陕西西安）的辋川买了一座别墅，常在那里过隐居一样的生活。好友裴迪也常来，两人一起游山玩水、写诗唱和，还合写过《辋川集》。这首诗是王维在辋川闲住时写给裴迪的，写的是秋天傍晚的景色和两人的友情。具体写于哪一年不详。

The poet作者

Wang Wei (701–761 by one account) was a great Tang poet, and also a painter and musician. He is best known for poems about hills, rivers and farm life. The Song poet Su Shi said his poems hold paintings and his paintings hold poems. He was a Buddhist, and in later life he was half an official and half a hermit. His poems often feel quiet and far-reaching.

王维（一说701—761），字摩诘，唐代大诗人，也是画家和音乐家。他写山水田园最有名，苏轼说他“诗中有画，画中有诗”。他信佛，晚年过着半官半隐的生活，诗里常有安静、淡远的味道。

The mood意境

This poem is like a painting of an autumn evening. The hills are deep green, the stream flows slowly, and the poet stands outside his wooden gate on his stick, listening to cicadas in the wind, completely at ease. The most famous lines are the fifth and sixth. Far off at the ferry, the sun is about to set. Close by in the village, one thread of smoke rises straight up. One thing sinks, one thing rises, and the scene is quiet and warm. The last two lines show Pei Di arriving drunk and singing. The poet compares him to the wild hermit Jieyu, and himself to Tao Yuanming. Two friends who care little for official life and love nature are free and happy here.

这首诗就像一幅秋日黄昏图。山是苍翠的，水是慢慢流的，诗人拄着拐杖站在柴门外，听着风里的蝉声，非常悠闲。“渡头余落日，墟里上孤烟”是最有名的两句：远处渡口，太阳快要落下；近处村子，一缕炊烟直直升起。一个往下沉，一个往上升，画面安静又温暖。最后两句写裴迪喝醉了来唱歌，诗人把他比作狂人接舆，把自己比作陶渊明。两个不爱官场、爱自然的朋友，在这里过得自在快活。
