2. Bai Juyi's "Looking at the Moon in the Pavilion on the Night of August 15th"
In the past year, on the night of August 15th, I was at the apricot garden beside the Qujiang Pool.
On the night of August 15th this year, in front of the Shatou Water Museum in Penpu.
Looking to the northwest, where is my hometown? To the southeast, I can see how full the moon is.
No one could catch the wind yesterday, but tonight the light is as clear as in previous years.

3. Du Fu's "Remembering My Brother-in-law on a Moonlit Night"
The sound of garrison drums breaks the line of people, and there is the 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.
Appreciation: "Remembering My Brother on a Moonlit Night" is a five-character poem written by Du Fu, a poet in the Tang Dynasty. In the poem, the brothers were separated due to the war. They had no fixed place to live, no news from them, and their life and death were uncertain. At the time of the white dew season, against the background of the drums of the garrison and the mourning of the lone wild goose, the poet's worry and longing for his brother became more and more deep and intense.
The first two couplets of this poem focus on describing the scenery, while the last two couplets focus on lyricism. The scenes blend together, with a rigorous structure and echoes from beginning to end. The wording of the couplet is simple and symbolic of the new police. The "Lu" and "Moon" conditions are followed by the "White" and "Ming", and the inverted sentence structure has a surprising effect. The language of the whole poem is exquisite, the style is melancholy and sad, and it is sincere and touching.
