The title of Shuidiao expresses the poet's broad mind: people have joys and sorrows, the moon has ups and downs, and it is difficult to be complete in ancient times.

Original: Chen Bing Mid-Autumn Festival, drunk and drunk, writing this article, pregnant again. When did the moon begin to appear? I take my glass from a distance. I don't know the palace in the sky, and I don't know the month and time. I'm willing to ride the wind to the sky, I'm afraid I can't stand the cold for nine days in a pavilion of fine jade.

Dance and enjoy the shadow of the moon, which is in the world. The moon turned into a scarlet pavilion, hanging low on the carved window, shining on the sleepy self. The moon should not have any resentment against people. Why is it round when people are gone? People are sad and happy, and they are separated and reunited. The moon has yin and yang, and there are gains and losses. Nothing is perfect, even in the past. I hope people will live for a long time and have a good scenery thousands of miles away.

On the Mid-Autumn Festival of Chen Bingnian (A.D. 1076), I drank happily until dawn, got drunk, wrote this word, and missed my brother Su Zhe. When did the bright moon begin to exist? I picked up my glass and asked the distant sky.

I don't know about palaces in the sky. What year is tonight? I want to go back to the sky with the wind, and I'm worried that the beautiful jade buildings are too high for me to stand the cold. Get up and dance and enjoy your clear shadow in the moonlight. The moon palace is nothing like on the earth.

The moon turned the scarlet pavilion and hung low on the window to look after herself who was not sleepy. Mingyue shouldn't have any resentment against people, but why is it always round when people leave? People have joys and sorrows, and the moon has changed from sunny to sunny, which is difficult to be comprehensive from ancient times to now. I hope people can stay together for a long time, even if they are thousands of miles apart, they can enjoy the beautiful moon together.

background

This word was written by the author (AD 1076) of the Mid-Autumn Festival in Xining, Song Shenzong, when he was in Mizhou. Su Shi once asked to be transferred to a place near Su Zhe to be an official. In the seventh year of Xining (AD 1074), Su Shi was transferred to Mizhou. After arriving in Michigan, this wish still cannot be realized. On the Mid-Autumn Festival in A.D. 1076, the poet was filled with emotion in the face of a bright moon, so he wrote this famous article with a pen.

Han nationality, Sichuanese, was buried in Yingchang (now Jiaxian County, Pingdingshan City, Henan Province). I have a bumpy career, profound knowledge, extremely high talent and excellent poetry, calligraphy and painting. Wang Yang, written by him, is bold and fluent, and with Ouyang Xiu, he called Ou Su one of the "Eight Masters in Tang and Song Dynasties".

Poetry is fresh and vigorous, making good use of exaggeration and metaphor, and its artistic expression is unique. Together with Huang Tingjian, they are called Su Huang. The uninhibited school has a great influence on later generations, and it is called Su Xin with Xin Qiji. Calligraphy is good at running script and regular script, and it can be innovative. Writing with a pen is ups and downs, full of childlike interest. And Huang Tingjian, Mi Fei and Cai Xiang are also called Song Sijia. Painting is the same as literature. In painting, we advocate spirit likeness and "literati painting".
