The ancient poems related to the moon are as follows:
1. Tang Dynasty: Li Yi's "Listening to the Flute in Shoujiang City at Night"
Excerpts from the original text:
The sand in front of Huile Peak is like snow, and the moon outside the city is like frost.
I don’t know where to play the reed pipe, and all night long the people are looking for their hometown.
Interpretation:
The sand in front of Huile Peak is as white as snow, and the moonlight outside the city is like late autumn frost.
A melancholy reed pipe blew from nowhere, causing the soldiers who went out to fight to miss their hometown all night long.
2. Tang Dynasty: Meng Haoran's "Embraces Under the Autumn Night Moon"
Excerpts from the original text:
The bright moon hangs in the autumn sky, moistened with lustrous dew.
The startled magpies have not settled yet, 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 is the good time? Standing looking at the sky.
Interpretation:
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 doesn't know where to rest. And fireflies don't dare to compete with the moonlight for a little bit of light. He flew into the room as the curtain rolled up.
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 urgent in the silent autumn night. Far apart. 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.
3. Tang Dynasty: Zhang Bi's "Sending People"
Excerpts from the original text:
Farewell Meng Yiyi to Xie's house, the small corridor turns to the winding lantern.
There is only the moon in the spring court that is sentimental, just like falling flowers for people who have left.
Interpretation:
Don’t vaguely come to Xie’s house in your dream, wandering under the railing of the small corridor.
Only the spring moon in the sky is the most sentimental, and it shines on the falling flowers in the courtyard for those who are leaving.
4. Yuan Dynasty: Wang Tingyun's "Quatrains"
Excerpts from the original text:
The bamboo shadows and poems are thin, and the plum blossoms are fragrant in dreams.
Poor Tonight, the moon refuses to go down to the west wing.
Interpretation:
The thin bamboo shadows match the poems, and the fragrance of plum blossoms accompanies me in my dreams.
Unfortunately, my mood is like the moon tonight, which refuses to set in the west wing.
5. Tang Dynasty: Yu Liangshi's "Moonlight at Spring Mountain"
Excerpt from the original text:?
There are so many wonderful things in Spring Mountain that I forget to return home at night.
Holding the moon in the water in your hand, your clothes are filled with the fragrance of flowers.
There is no distance when happiness comes, but I want to leave and cherish my beauty.
Looking south to where the bell rings, the tower is deep and green.
Interpretation:
Spring returns to the earth, everything is renewed, and I come to the mountains with the joy of spring outing. There are many beautiful things in the mountains, which are so pleasing to the eye and so gratifying that I still miss them after nightfall. I couldn't help but forget to return. Holding the clear and clear spring water, the spring water reflects the moon's shadow, as if the bright moon is in one's hands; playing with the mountain flowers, the fragrance fills the clothes.
You Xingzhengnong really couldn’t bear to leave, no matter how far away the rules were; he made up his mind to leave several times, but he still attached himself to every plant and tree in the mountains. With a conflicting mood, I was walking slowly on the mountain road. At this time, a distant bell sounded. I looked up at the place where the bell was ringing. It turned out to be a mountain tower hidden in the green bushes and under the moonlight.
