1. "Mid-Autumn Moon" - Song Dynasty: Yan Shu
Ten rounds of frost shadows turn around the courtyard, and this evening, people are alone in the corner.
It may not be that Su'e has no regrets, the jade toad is cold and the sweet-scented osmanthus is lonely.
Translation: Under the moonlight, the shadows of the sycamore trees move unconsciously as time goes by, still facing the corner alone on this reunion night. Chang'e in the Moon Palace may not feel regretful now. After all, the only ones accompanying her are the cold Moon Palace and the lonely laurel tree.
2. "Yangguan Song·Mid-Autumn Moon" - Song Dynasty: Su Shi
The dusk clouds have collected and overflowed with clear cold, and the silver man turned the jade plate silently.
This life and this night will not last long. Where can I see the bright moon next year?
Translation: Night falls, the clouds disappear, the sky and the earth are filled with cold air, the Milky Way flows silently, and the bright moon turns to the sky, as white and crystal clear as a jade plate. Every Mid-Autumn Festival night in my life, the moonlight is mostly hidden by wind and clouds, and I rarely encounter such beautiful scenery as today. It is really rare! But next year's Mid-Autumn Festival, where will I go to watch the moon?
3. "Mid-Autumn Festival" - Tang Dynasty: Sikong Picture
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.
In my spare time, I walk in the autumn night and sing softly, but I always feel empty, depressed and uneasy. If there is no full moon tonight, this autumn will be wasted.
4. "Climbing a Tower to Look at the Moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival" - Song Dynasty: Mi Fu
The Huaihai Sea is as full as silver, and thousands of rainbows nurture the treasures of clams.
If there is no moon door in the sky, the osmanthus branches will support the westward wheel.
The sea water of Huaihai as far as the eye can see is like silver, glowing with white light. Under the colorful light, clams are pregnant with pearls. If there is no one to repair the moon in the sky, the osmanthus branches will probably burst the moon.
5. "Two Poems on the Mid-Autumn Moon, No. 2" - Tang Dynasty: Li Qiao
The round soul is in the cold sky, all saying that the four seas are the same.
How do you know that there is no rain or wind thousands of miles away?
Translation: A bright moon rises in the night 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?
