I know that there is no rain or wind in the next sentence thousands of miles away. The poem comes from "Mid-Autumn Moon", a five-character quatrain composed by Li Qiao, a poet in the Tang Dynasty. These are two short poems that describe the poet's thoughts arising from looking at the moon during the Mid-Autumn Festival. The first poem imagines that the mid-month osmanthus blows by the east wind all year round and does not have branches extending beyond the moon during its growth process. It uses folklore to express this idea. The yearning for a warm and comfortable life in the Moon Palace.
Original text: The cold sky above the round soul means that the four seas are the same. I know that thousands of miles away, there is neither rain nor wind. Interpretation: When the full moon rises in the vast and cold sky, it is said that everything is the same within the four seas. How do you know that somewhere thousands of miles away, there is no rain falling and the wind is blowing at the same time.
Poetry appreciation:
The poem first states the common saying that the full moon rises into the sky and is the same all over the world, and then turns to the question of how to know that there is no wind and rain somewhere thousands of miles away. questions, and deeply understand the turbulent social truth and overall situation through stable superficial phenomena and local facts.

"Two Poems on the Mid-Autumn Moon" was reappeared under the name of Zhang Qiao in Volume 639 of "Complete Poems of the Tang Dynasty", titled "Two Poems on the Moon". Judging by the style, the author should be Li Qiao. This poem has no chronology. Judging from the use of cold and dull words such as "cold sky" and "rain and wind" in the poem, it may have been written when the author was demoted to Chuzhou. True poetry emerges from grief and indignation. This poem uses the moon to express its reasoning, which is probably related to the author's association with his career misfortune of "yesterday the sun rose and today it rains".
