Moonlit Night Drinking Apricot Flowers is a seven-character ancient poem by Su Shi, a writer in the Northern Song Dynasty.
Original: In spring, apricot blossoms fly away, and the bright moon enters the house to find a lover. Step by step, step by step, step by step, like running water, like green apples. The flowers are fragrant with wine, and they are struggling to pull long strips of fragrant snow. Mountain city wine is thin and unpalatable, so I advise you to drink a glass of moon. The flute breaks the moonlight, only worrying about the moon falling through the glass. In the Ming Dynasty, the spring breeze was evil, but the green leaves remained red.
In the last spring when the apricot blossom curtain was laid, the bright moon came in to find me, a hermit. Lift up your robe, walk under the moon, and step on the swaying flowers. Moonlight is like water, and small flowers are like green duckweeds floating in the water. There was a banquet under the flowers, apricot blossoms overflowing, and guests rushed to Panzhihua like fragrant snow. Mountain wine is thin and tasteless, so I advise you to suck a cup to reflect the bright moon.
The flute is broken on this moonlit night, and I only worry about the moon falling through the glass. The hateful spring breeze of Ming dynasty is blowing, and I see a little residual red in the green leaves.
