The candle shadow is deep in the mica screen, and the long river is gradually falling and the star is sinking at dawn.

Chang E should regret stealing the elixir, the blue sea and the blue sky at night.

The mica screen is colored with a thick candle shadow, and the Milky Way is gradually falling and the star of dawn is sinking.

Works Appreciation:

This poem laments the loneliness of Chang'e in the moon, and expresses the poet's feelings of self-injury. The first two lines describe the indoor and outdoor environments respectively, rendering an empty and cold atmosphere and expressing the main character's nostalgic mood; the last two lines are the main character's thoughts after a night of painful reminiscence, expressing a sense of loneliness. The whole poem is sentimental, rich in meaning, whimsical, and truly moving.

The poet is trying to get rid of the vulgarity and pursue the realm of purity, but the result of the pursuit often puts himself in a more lonely situation. The twinning of purity and loneliness, as well as the resulting both self-appreciation and self-injury, both unwilling to change their minds from the vulgar, but also difficult to endure the torment of loneliness and loneliness of this subtle and complex psychology.

This is a kind of beauty with heavy sadness, which can easily cause wide ****sing among the noble scribes in the old times. The typical meaning of the poem is also here.
