"The moon sets, crows cry, and frost fills the sky" - the poem "A Night Mooring by Maple Bridge," which is well-known in Japan. Hanshan Temple, the setting of the poem, is located in Suzhou, an ancient city in southern Jiangsu Province. Every year on New Year's Eve, many Japanese tourists come to this Hanshan Temple to ring the New Year's bell. The sound of the bell flows through the water-rich city of Suzhou, leading people to a long and lasting history. The moon sets, crows cry, and frost fills the sky River maples and fishing fires face my sorrowful sleep Outside Gusu City, Hanshan Temple The midnight bell reaches the passenger ship fūkyō yahaku <chōkei> tsuki ochi karasu naite shimo ten ni mitsu kōfū gyoka shūmin ni taisu koso jōgai kanzanji yahan no shōsei kakusen ni itaru Meaning of the poem: The moon sets, night crows cry, and the feeling of frost fills the sky, becoming cold. Fishing fires flicker among the maple trees on the riverbank, and they appear before my eyes as I cannot sleep due to travel sorrow. I was thinking that dawn was near when the bell announcing midnight, struck from Hanshan Temple outside Gusu City, echoed to the ship I was on.
