1. Original text
"Looking at the Moon on the Fifteenth Night and Mailing it to Dr. Du" by Wang Jian
Crows roost on the white trees in the courtyard, and the cold dew wets the sweet-scented osmanthus silently.
Tonight, when the moon is bright and everyone looks out, I wonder whose home Qiu Si is?
2. Translation
Magpies and crows live on the snow-white trees in the courtyard, and the autumn dew silently wets the sweet-scented osmanthus in the courtyard.
Tonight the bright moon is in the sky and everyone in the world is looking up at me. I wonder whose house this autumn love will fall on?
