"Autumn Rain and Night Sleep" - Don Bai Juyi
Cool three autumn nights, an old man is idle.
After the lights went out, I slept in the sound of rain.
The gray house is warm and the bottle is fired, and the incense is warm.
Xiaoqing has not yet risen, and the frost leaves are full of red.

Interpretation of the poem:"Sleeping in the autumn rain" is a theme often expressed by poets in the Tang Dynasty. It mainly writes about the poet's lonely and idle life.
In the cold late autumn night, there is a quiet and tranquil old man ready to sleep.
After the lights were blown out, he lay down to sleep for a long time, and gradually fell asleep with the sound of autumn rain.
The brazier that had been burning all night had been extinguished, and a fire was added to make the temperature rise, and I continued to sleep in the warm bed.
In the morning, when the weather is sunny and a little cold, I don't want to get up, and I look at the autumn leaves outside the window being swept away by the wind and frost and floating under the steps.
Cool three autumn nights, an old man is idle. "Three autumns" is late autumn. It illustrates the seasonal climate of this poem, which is on a cold late autumn night, with the autumn wind and autumn rain hitting the window, making people feel cold. In the cold late autumn night, a quiet and tranquil old man is preparing to fall asleep. The word "leisure" depicts the leisurely, slow, quiet and tranquil life of the elderly.
After the lights went out, I slept in the sound of rain. "Lying late" writes about the characteristics of the elderly who sleep less and are not easy to fall asleep. After the lights went out, the old man lay down to sleep for a long time, and it was because he slept late that he was not disturbed by the sound of the rain, but fell asleep with the sound of the autumn rain. The autumn rain outside the window continues, and the old man in the house sleeps, still and moving, and a harmonious and serene picture is displayed in front of the reader's eyes. "Sleeping Beauty" expresses the old man's unhindered, leisurely and tranquil feelings.
The gray house is warm and the bottle is fired, and the incense is warm. The brazier that had been burning all night had been extinguished, and the temperature was raised by adding a fire to the warm bed, and I continued to sleep in the warm bed. "Gray house" indicates that the fire burned overnight. However, although it is the late autumn season, it is not yet the time when you need to bake the fire all night to keep warm, the old man not only baked the fire all night, but also greedy for the "warm quilt" in the early morning and did not want to get up.
Xiaoqing has not yet risen, and the frost leaves are full of red. In the morning, when the weather is sunny and a little cold, I don't want to think about it, and look at the red leaves outside the window that are swept away by the wind and frost and drift under the steps. The late autumn night is cool, the wind and rain are combined, and the fiery red maple leaves are blown down all over the ground by the merciless wind and rain overnight, and this natural solemn scenery makes people feel desolate. However, the old man was indifferent, just blindly snooze, which shows that the old man is used to seeing the wind and rain, highlighting the old man's state of mind like stopping water.
This poem, the language is fresh, the meaning is subtle, the poet will be the image and mood of his old age, as well as the discouragement of politics in his later years, the lonely state of life, through the detailed description of the successful description to the reader.
