Ancient poems describing the moon:
1. "Spring Night" by Su Shi of the Song Dynasty
Original text: A moment of spring night is worth a thousand gold, the flowers are fragrant and the moon is cloudy. The sound of singing can be heard softly on the balcony, and the night is dark in the swing courtyard.
Translation: Even a quarter of an hour on a spring night is worth a thousand pieces of gold. The flowers exude a faint fragrance, and the moonlight casts hazy shadows under the flowers. On the tall buildings in the distance, the officials and nobles were still enjoying singing, dancing and wind music, and the courtyard with the swings was immersed in the quiet night.
2. "A Letter to Judge Han Chuo of Yangzhou" by Du Mu in the Tang Dynasty
Original text: The green mountains are faintly covered by the water, and the grass in the south of the Yangtze River has not withered since autumn. Twenty-Four Bridges On a moonlit night, where can a beautiful lady teach me how to play the flute?
Translation: The green mountains are faintly undulating, the river is far away and long, and the vegetation in the south of the Yangtze River has not withered in autumn. Twenty-Four Bridge The bright moon shines in the quiet night. Where are you, old friend, listening to the beauty playing the flute?
3. "Remembering My Brother-in-law on a Moonlit Night" by Du Fu of the Tang Dynasty
Original text: Drums interrupt people's walking, and there is a sound of wild geese in the autumn. The dew is white tonight, and the moon is bright in my hometown. All my brothers are scattered, and I have no family to ask about life and death. The letter sent was not delivered, but the troops were not suspended.
Translation: The sound of drums on the garrison has cut off the pedestrian movement, and the mournful cry of lone wild geese can be heard from the border fortress on an autumn night. Tonight has entered the Bailu solar term, and the moon is still the brightest in my hometown.
Although we have brothers, they are all separated and go to separate places.
