One explanation is that there are different types of osmanthus such as spring flowers, autumn flowers, and four-season flowers. The one written here should be the one that blooms in spring. Another opinion is that literary and artistic creation does not necessarily have to copy life. It is said that Wang Wei's painting "Yuan An Lying in the Snow" has green bananas in the snow. Things that cannot appear at the same time in real life are in literary and artistic creation. allowed. However, this poem is one of the "Five Miscellaneous Poems of Huangfu Yue Yunxi" written by Wang Wei about his friend's residence. Each of the five poems describes a scene, which is close to landscape sketching, but different from ordinary freehand paintings. Therefore, it is appropriate to interpret it as the actual spring osmanthus in the mountains at this time.

The osmanthus branches have lush leaves and small petals. Falling flowers, especially at night, is not easy to detect. Therefore, the word "人 leisure" at the beginning cannot be easily read. "People are free" means that there are no human disturbances around, and it shows the quietness of the poet's heart. With this as a premise, the subtle sweet-scented osmanthus fell from the branches and was noticed. The poet can discover this kind of "falling", either by the touch caused by the flower falling on the skirt of the clothes, or by the sound, or by the trace of fragrance emitted when the petals fall. In short, the factors that "fall" can affect people are very subtle. And when this subtle factor can be clearly felt from the surrounding world, the poet can't help but marvel at the silence of the night and the emptiness particularly revealed by the silence. Here, the poet's state of mind and the environmental atmosphere of Chunshan are consistent with each other and interact with each other.

In this spring mountain, Wan Lai is intoxicated in the color of the night and the tranquility of the night. Therefore, when the moon rises and brings a bright silver glow to the empty valley shrouded in night, the mountain birds are startled. The birds were frightened, of course, because they were accustomed to the silence of the valley, and it seemed that even the moonrise had a new passion. But the brightness of the moonlight caused the scenery before and after the valley to change suddenly, which is also conceivable. The so-called "the moon and stars are sparse, and the black magpie flies south" (Dan Ge Xing) by Cao Cao can be used by readers to think about it. But Wang Wei lived in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, which was different from the war and chaos in the Jian'an era. Even birds and beasts could not help but feel panic. Wang Wei's "Moonrise Startles the Mountain Bird" is set in the stable and unified society of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Although the bird is frightened, it is by no means "circling the tree three times with no branches to rely on". They did not fly away from the spring stream, or even took off at all. They only made occasional calls among the trees. "The time is ringing in the spring stream", they are not so much "surprised" as they are fresh about the moonrise. Therefore, if we compare it with Cao Cao's "Dan Ge Xing", in Wang Wei's poem, we can not only see the charming environment of the spring mountain decorated with the bright moon, falling flowers and birdsong, but also feel the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Peaceful and stable social atmosphere.

In his landscape poems, Wang Wei likes to create a quiet artistic conception, and this poem is the same.

But what is written in the poem is the falling flowers, the moonrise, and the singing of birds. These moving scenes not only make the poem appear full of vitality but not dull, but at the same time, through movement, they more prominently show the tranquility of the spring stream. Moving scenery can achieve a static effect instead. This is because the contradictory sides of things are always interdependent. Under certain conditions, the reason why movement can occur or be noticed by people is precisely based on stillness. "The mountains are more secluded when birds sing", which contains the dialectics of art. Appreciation 2 There are quite different opinions regarding the osmanthus in this poem.
