1. The sunset is speechless and the swallows are sad.

Wu Wenying, a poet in the Song Dynasty

2. Don’t rely on strength, the setting sun will disappear in a blink of an eye.

Zhang Weiping, a poet of the Qing Dynasty

3. The setting sun is outside the mountains, and the spring water is crossing the river.

One of the two poems "Chu Tian Yao Crossing the Qing River to Send Spring" by Xue Angfu of Yuan Dynasty. Ferry: refers to the ferry. The general meaning of these two sentences is: under the setting sun, there are mountains outside the mountains, and the mountains are connected; beside the spring water, there are ferry crossings, and the crossings look at each other. The syntax of these two sentences is relatively novel and full of layers. It can be used to describe spring mountains and spring waters.

4. The bamboos love the new rain and the mountains love the sunset.

Qian Qi of the Tang Dynasty "Taniguchi Study Sends to Yang Buque". Lian: pity. The general meaning of these two sentences is: Bamboo is the cutest after a new rain, and green hills are the most beautiful when the sun sets. After the rain, Hsinchu looks green and grows particularly gratifyingly. Through the words, we can imagine the freshness of the bamboo forest after the rain and the tall and straight green bamboos; when the sun sets, the sky full of colorful clouds and the green mountains reflect each other, forming a beautiful picture. Both views are lovely. These two sentences are neatly contrasted and have different artistic conceptions. The first sentence is small and delicate, while the second sentence is magnificent. They use few words and have profound poetic meaning, which can arouse people's infinite imagination.

5. The trees under the faint sun are burning into the autumn mountains.

"Wandering at Sunset" by Ma Dai of the Tang Dynasty. Weiyang: refers to the setting sun. Arbor: Large trees with obvious differences in trunk and branches, such as pine, cypress, poplar, willow, etc. The general meaning of these two sentences is: The setting sun sinks down from the nearby treetops, and the afterglow shines back on the autumn mountains, a fiery red, like wildfire burning on the distant autumn mountains, gradually disappearing behind the mountains. The first sentence describes the scene of the sunset over the mountains, from near to far, with clear layers. Nearby is the setting sun sinking from the treetops, the light is dim; in the distance is the setting sun's afterglow reflecting on the autumn mountains, red as burning. This contrasting picture shows the different views the sunset presents at different times and locations. However, it is the setting sun after all. The word "enter" describes the change of the sunset from bright to dim. This scene of the sunset not only aggravates the poet's homesickness, but also triggers the poet's deep feelings of sorrow and loss. The poet's method of using changes in light and color to describe the sunset in a layered manner and blending it into the scene is worth learning.
