When will the bright moon come and ask the blue sky for wine? This is a poem in "Shui Tiao Ge Tou·When will the bright moon come" by the Song Dynasty poet Su Shi. The content of the whole poem is as follows:
1. On the Mid-Autumn Festival in Bingchen, I drank happily till the end of the day and got very drunk. I wrote this article because I was pregnant with my son. When will the bright moon appear? Ask the sky for wine. I don’t know what year it is today in the palace in the sky. I want to ride the wind back home, but I am afraid that it will be cold in the high places. Dance to figure out the shadow, how does it seem to be in the human world.
2. Turn to the Zhu Pavilion and look down at the Qihu. The light will make you sleepless. There shouldn't be any hatred, so what's the point of saying goodbye? People have joys and sorrows, separations and reunions, and the moon waxes and wanes. This is a difficult thing in ancient times. I hope that people will live long and travel thousands of miles to meet Chanjuan.
