Tang Dynasty: Li Bai
When will the moon appear in the blue sky? I'll stop for a drink and ask. The moon will never reach the moon, but it is very close to the people.
Green smoke as bright as a mirror is flying in the palace, emitting cold light. I only see the clouds rising from the sea every night, and who knows the clouds in the morning?
The white rabbit plays medicine in autumn, revives in spring, and Chang 'e lives alone with whom. Now people are not seen in Gu Yue, but in this month they took the ancients.
The ancients said, if people are running water, they look at the bright moon. Just look at the glass and sing loudly, and the moonlight can grow in a golden cup.
When does the bright moon rise in the blue sky? I stopped my cup and asked. Man will never land on the moon, but the moon is very close to man. The bright moon danced in the sky like a mirror, reflecting the palace. The clouds that covered the moon dissipated, and the faint moonlight gave off cold light.
People know that the moon rises from the sea at night. Do they know that the moon disappears from the clouds in the morning? In the moon, the white rabbit tinkers with medicine. From autumn to spring, Chang 'e lives alone in the Moon Palace. Who's with her?
Now people can't see the ancient moon, but now the moon has shone on the ancients. Ancient and modern times are just flowing water, and so is the moon seen by * *. I just hope that when I sing to the glass, the moonlight can shine in the golden cup for a long time.

The origin of the Mid-Autumn festival
There are many theories about the origin of Mid-Autumn Festival. The word Mid-Autumn Festival first appeared in Zhou Li. The Book of Rites and the Moon Order said: "The Mid-Autumn Festival moon nourishes aging and follows the porridge diet." One theory originated from the sacrificial activities of ancient emperors. It is recorded in the Book of Rites that "the sun rises in spring and the moon sets in autumn", and the moon is a sacrifice to the moon, indicating that as early as the Spring and Autumn Period, emperors began to offer sacrifices to the moon and Yue Bai.
Later, aristocratic officials and scholars followed suit and gradually spread to the people. Second, the origin of Mid-Autumn Festival is related to agricultural production. Autumn is the harvest season. The word "autumn" is interpreted as "autumn when crops are ripe" In the Mid-Autumn Festival in August, crops and various fruits are maturing one after another. In order to celebrate the harvest and express their joy, farmers regard the Mid-Autumn Festival as a festival.
"Mid-Autumn Festival" means the middle of autumn. August in the lunar calendar is a month in autumn, and the 15th is a day in this month. Therefore, the Mid-Autumn Festival may be a custom passed down from the ancient Autumn Newspaper.
Some historians have also pointed out that the origin of Mid-Autumn Festival should be August 15th, 13th year of Tang Jun's great cause at the end of Sui Dynasty. Pei Ji and Tang Jun, with the idea of a full moon, successfully invented moon cakes and distributed them to the army as military salaries, which successfully solved the problem of military rations derived from absorbing a large number of anti-Sui rebels.
The custom of enjoying the moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival was first put forward by ancient court scholars and later spread to the people. In the Tang Dynasty, it was quite popular to enjoy and play with the moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival. Many poets have poems chanting the moon in their masterpieces, and the Mid-Autumn Festival began to become a fixed festival.
The Book of Emperor Taizong recorded the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15. Legend has it that Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty sleepwalked in the Moon Palace and got colorful feather clothes, and the custom of Mid-Autumn Festival began to prevail among the people.
