As follows:
1. "Mid-Autumn Festival" Sikong Picture of the Tang Dynasty
Outside the leisurely singing of the autumn scenery, everything feels leisurely.
If there is no moon this night, the whole year will be like autumn.
Translation:
Walking in the autumn night and singing softly in my spare time, I always feel empty, depressed and uneasy. If there is no full moon tonight, this autumn will be wasted.
2. "Two Poems on the Mid-Autumn Moon·Part 2" by Li Qiao of the Tang Dynasty
The round soul is in the cold sky, and it is said that the four seas are the same.
I know that thousands of miles away, there will be neither rain nor wind.
Translation:
A bright moon rises in the sky. They say that the moonlight is the same everywhere.
How do you know that there are no violent storms and rains thousands of miles away?
3. "Remembering My Brother on a Moonlit Night" by Du Fu of the Tang Dynasty
The drums cut off the line of people, and there is a sound of wild geese in the autumn.
The dew is white tonight, and the moon is bright in my hometown.
My brothers are all scattered, and I have no family to ask about life and death.
The letter sent was not delivered, but the troops did not stop.
Translation:
The sound of watch drums on the garrison has cut off people's communication. In the autumn of the border fortress, a lone goose is chirping. Tonight has entered the Bailu solar term, and the moon is still the brightest in my hometown. I have brothers but they are all scattered. I have no family and cannot inquire about life and death. Letters sent home to Luoyang City were often not delivered, not to mention the frequent wars that never stopped.
4. "Feelings Under the Moon at Autumn Night" by Meng Haoran of the Tang Dynasty
The bright moon hangs in the autumn sky, moistened with lustrous dew. The startled magpies have not yet settled down, and the flying fireflies roll in behind the curtain.
The cold shadows of the locust tree in the courtyard are sparse, and the neighboring pestle sounds urgently at night. How long the good times are! Standing looking at the sky.
Translation:
A bright moon hangs high in the sky, and the dewdrops reflected by the moonlight are crystal clear, as if they were wet by dew. Under such beautiful moonlight, the cold magpie didn't know where to rest, and the fireflies didn't dare to compete with the moonlight for a little light, so they flew into the room with the rolled up door curtain. The only branches of the locust tree in the yard cast their shadows in the moonlight, looking sparse and desolate.
At this time, the sound of pestle coming from the neighbor seemed so clear and impatient in the silent autumn night. How to make an appointment for a date to get together? I can only look at the same distant moon melancholy, unable to do anything, just standing there stupidly.
5. "No Moon on Mid-Autumn Night" Luo Yin of the Tang Dynasty
The clouds are empty at dusk, but the clear light of this evening has been broken.
I'm just afraid that after the Kaiji changes, the moon will still raise toads.
Translation:
The clouds covered the moon, and the moonlight could no longer be seen, and the sky was gloomy; but once the clouds and fog dissipated, the moonlight was still shed by a bright moon, and it was still quiet.
