It means: the bright moonlight swept the branches, scaring the magpies away from the branches, and the cool evening wind blew, as if I heard cicadas singing in the distance. In the fragrance of rice flowers, there were waves of frogs' cries in my ears, as if discussing that this year is a bumper harvest year.

In addition to the achievements of ci, Xin Qiji's prose is also quite commendable. His political essays, like ci, are magnificent and full of lofty sentiments. He can use vivid metaphors, strong evidence, rigorous argumentation and rational analysis to make his article convincing without doubt. Therefore, later generations regard him as a masterpiece of political papers in the Southern Song Dynasty, which is only covered by the name of the word and is not widely known.
