From: Su Mu Nostalgia Song Dynasty: Fan Zhongyan
Blue sky and yellow leaves. The autumn wind is full of waves, and the waves are cold and smoky. The mountain reflects the sun and the sky meets the water. The grass is ruthless, and the sunset is even more outside.
Dark homesickness, thoughts of chasing travel. Every night unless, sweet dreams make people unable to sleep. The bright moon building is high and lonely. Wine becomes sorrow, acacia becomes tears.
Translation:
The sky is blue, yellow leaves fall all over the ground, the autumn colors on the horizon are connected with autumn waves, and the waves are filled with empty and slightly chilly autumn smoke. The distant mountains bathe in the sunset, and the sky is connected with the river. Grass that doesn't understand the pain of homesickness extends to the sky beyond the sunset.
It is sad to miss my hometown silently, and it is difficult to get rid of lingering worries. Only dreams can make people sleep at night. The bright moon shines on tall buildings, so don't lean on it alone. Frequently pour bitter wine into sorrow and turn it into acacia tears.

The combination of structure and scene is a common technique in ci, and its particularity lies in the unity of beauty and tenderness, more precisely, the unity of breadth, beauty and affection. Poems about homesickness and sadness are often expressed by bleak autumn scenery, but the scenery described in this poem is far and wide.
On the one hand, poetry shows the poet's broad mind and love for life and nature, which further sets off the sadness of parting love. On the other hand, it also makes the feelings expressed in the following films look soft and bony, deep but not decadent. On the whole, although the language and technique of this word are similar to ordinary words, its artistic conception and artistic conception are close to traditional poetry. This shows that it is ok to write small words to express sadness and not hate, and it is not limited to the boudoir courtyard.
