Who is the companion sitting alone at dusk?

Sitting alone at dusk, who is the companion? The above sentence is: Wei Zihua gives Ziweilang.

I. Translation

I'm on duty at Silunge, so there's nothing to write about. There was silence around me, only the dripping sound from the bell and drum tower. Time passes too slowly. In this evening loneliness, I sit alone. Who will accompany me? Only Ziweihua and I, a Ziweilang, were silent.

Two. notes

1, Wei Zihua: Deciduous sub-tree, with reddish-purple flowers in summer and withering in autumn.

2. Silunge: refers to the attic where the imperial edict was written for the emperor.

3, engraved leakage: ancient utensils used to drip time.

4. Ziweilang: the official name of the Tang Dynasty, referring to the Scheeren in the Chinese book. Because Zhongshu Province was renamed Wei Zi Province, it was named after Astronomical Wei Ziyuan.

Third, appreciate

The Silun Pavilion and the Bell and Drum Tower written in this poem not only show the characteristics of the palace, but also point out that the poet "sits alone" because he is on duty in the palace. The palace at dusk is a quiet world, which makes people feel dull and boring, as if the passage of time becomes slow. But according to the rules, the officials on duty can't walk around, which makes the poet trapped in a relatively cramped environment.

On the day described in the poem, the poet had nothing to do but look at the flowers and listen to the sound of carving, killing this empty and boring time and waiting for the arrival of "off work" time. In this poem, the poet implicitly expressed his disappointment with his boring work, and through the description of the palace environment, implied the dull political atmosphere at that time, and then expressed his dissatisfaction with this atmosphere.
