Learning the Meaning of the Poem
 Autumn is a harvest season and it is a season to miss a family, a friend or a lover in the far away place. So, there are many Chinese poems to express this kind of feelings.
In Chinese poetry theory, people thought a good poem, should have picture, music in it. I enjoy this poem by Tang Dynasty poet Du Mu, just for it has "painted out" a beautiful painting of landscape with a very simple language. Also, in this "picture", you can hear some music...
I had created a piece of music to match it on Dec, 2005. This week, I have also created a new painting and calligraphy to match it from the other angles and hope you enjoy them and be a little bit help to you learn this poem and to improve your Chinese level.
I have introduced some of peoms by Du Mu and you can review them by the links below:

 Hi, friends, today, I would like to introduce a new Chinese classical poem Ji Yangzhou Hanchuo Panguanguan -- To Yangzhou Hanchuo Official by Tang Dynasty (816-907) Poet Du Mu (803 - 852). We have learned one of his poems -- Chinese Classical Poem --0017:Shan Xing -- Travel In A Mountain Do you remember it?
Du Mu (803-852) was one of the most important representative poets in the later period of Tang Dynasty(816-907). He was from a very rich family and he started to learn the classical Confucian theory from he was very young. He cared for the society progress and country's fate, wanted to help the poor poeple. But, his career was not very smooth. Except being a Ci Shi -- a feudal provincial or prefectural governor, he was a brainman most of his time, so, he spent much of his time on literature writing.
He made a high accomplishment on many things. Poetry is the most famous part -- especially on Jue Ju. He has a same reputation as Li Shangyin, to be called "Little Li Du" (The big 鈥淟i Du鈥� is Li Ai and Du Fu) in Chinese poetry history. Now, there are about 450 poems and essays by him in the world.
I enjoy this poem for it makes me think of the beautiful view in the south of the Yangtze River that is my third hometown. :-)
As usual,I created a piece of music to match it and hope you enjoy it.:-)

MAIN MEANING OF THE POEM:
Blue mountains are indistinct,
clean rivers are flowing far away,
Autumn is ending,
grasses are still green in the South of Yangtze River.
Bright moonlight is shining over the Twenty-Four Bridge,
where are you teaching someone to blow the bamboo flute?
Accessories: Translation
Translation by Mr. Wang Dalian By Hundred Flowers Art Press.
Green mountains loom afar and streams off flow,
Falls gone but grass in South still well grow.
When moon shine on the Twenty-Four Bridge bright,
Where are you teaching flute-blowing tonight?
