Wang Wei's "Reminiscences of Shandong Brothers on September 9th"

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.

Appreciation

The poem describes a wanderer who misses his hometown and his relatives. The poet urgently gets to the point at the beginning, writing about the loneliness and desolation of life in a foreign land. Therefore, he always misses his hometown and misses his people. When he encounters a good festival, his longing is doubled. Then the poem jumped to write about the brothers far away in their hometown. When they climbed high according to the custom of Double Ninth Festival, they also missed themselves. The poetry jumps repeatedly, is implicit and deep, is simple and natural, and has twists and turns. "On every festive occasion, we miss our loved ones even more" has been a famous saying among wanderers for thousands of years, and has touched the hearts of many wanderers.
