I am a lonely stranger in a strange land, and I miss my family more often during the holidays.

When I think of my brothers' bodies climbing high, I will feel a little regret for not being able to reach me.

Second, translation.

Being alone is always a bit bleak, and I miss my distant relatives every time I go to the Double Ninth Festival. Far away, I feel sorry for myself when I think of my brothers climbing high with dogwood.

I. Introduction to the author

Wang Wei (70 1-76 1, 699-76 1), a native of Zhou Pu, Hedong (now Yuncheng, Shanxi), was a famous poet and painter in the Tang Dynasty, with the word "Mosha" and the name "Mosha Jushi".

Second, the creative background

This poem was written by a poet in Chang 'an at the age of seventeen. This is written by a teenager who can get rid of superficial carving and point to real feelings. He really knows the knack of writing poetry. The poet's hometown, Zhou Pu (now Yongji, Shanxi), is in the east of Huashan Mountain, hence the name "Recalling Shandong Brothers".
