1. The two sentences "Remembering Brothers from Shandong on September 9th", "I know the brothers from afar, planting dogwood trees everywhere, and there is one missing person" describe the traditional customs of this festival.

The author of this poem is Wang Wei, a famous poet in the Tang Dynasty. The traditional festival described in the poem is the Double Ninth Festival. There is a custom of climbing during the Double Ninth Festival. When climbing, one wears a dogwood bag, which is said to avoid disasters. The last two lines of the poem describe brothers who are far away in their hometown. When they climb high according to the custom of Double Ninth Festival, they are also missing themselves. The poetry jumps repeatedly, is implicit and deep, is simple and natural, and has twists and turns. "I miss my relatives even more during the festive season" has been a famous saying among wanderers for thousands of years, and it has touched the hearts of many wanderers.

The whole poem is as follows:

I am a stranger in a foreign land, and I miss my family even more during the festive season.

I know from afar that my brothers have climbed to a high place, and there is one less person planting dogwood trees everywhere.

Vernacular translation:

I am away from home alone as a guest in a foreign land. I miss my relatives in my hometown especially when the festival comes.

I think back to today when my brothers climbed high and looked far into the distance, but I was the only one missing.

Wang Wei (701-761, some say 699-761) was a native of Puzhou, Hedong (now Yuncheng, Shanxi). A famous poet and painter in the Tang Dynasty, his courtesy name was Mojie and his name was Mojie Lay. Together with Meng Haoran, he was known as "Wang Meng" and was known as the "Poetry Buddha". Born in the Wang family in Hedong, in the 19th year of Kaiyuan, Wang Wei passed the first place. Li Guanyou collected relics, supervised the censor, and was the governor of Hexi Province. During the Tianbao period of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, Wang Wei paid homage to the official doctor and gave him a job. When An Lushan captured Chang'an, Wang Wei was forced to take a pseudo-post. After Chang'an was recovered, he was awarded the title of Prince Zhongyun. During the Qianyuan period of Emperor Suzong of the Tang Dynasty, he served as Shangshu Youcheng, and was known as "Wang Youcheng" in his later life.

Wang Wei studied Zen and understood philosophy, studied Zhuang Daoism, and was proficient in poetry, calligraphy, painting, music, etc. He was famous among Kaiyuan and Tianbao for his poems, which were especially long in five words and mostly eulogized about landscapes and pastoral areas.

2. "What I See in the Night Book" does not write about Chinese traditional customs. This poem writes about the homesickness of traveling abroad, mainly about the late autumn night scene. This poem was written by Ye Shaoweng, a poet of the Southern Song Dynasty. The rustling autumn wind blows the sycamore leaves, sending bursts of chill. The poet who is traveling abroad can't help but miss his hometown. One or two sentences describe the scenery, using the falling leaves, rustling autumn wind, and chilly air to express the desolate feeling of the wanderer wandering and lonely. Three or four sentences describe a child catching crickets at night, with high spirits, which cleverly contrasts the sadness and highlights the loneliness and helplessness of being a guest in a foreign land.

The whole poem is as follows:

The swaying Wu leaves send out the cold sound, and the autumn wind on the river stirs up the guest sentiment.

I know that there are children picking and knitting, and a light falls on the fence late at night.

Vernacular translation:

The rustling autumn wind blows the leaves of the sycamore tree, sending bursts of chill.

The autumn wind blowing from the river makes me miss me when I am away from home. Think of your hometown.

A few children at home are still fighting crickets with great interest!

Even in the dead of night, people kept the lights on and refused to sleep.
