When I was a child, I didn't know the moon, so I called it a white jade plate. Some people also suspect that it is the fairy mirror of Yaotai, flying above Qingyun in the night sky. Are immortals hanging their feet in the middle of the month? Why do osmanthus trees grow round in the middle of the month? Who is the fairy medicine smashed by the white rabbit? Toad ate the full moon badly, and the moon became dark. After Yi shot nine suns, heaven and earth survived. The moon is confused and there is nothing to see. Let's fly away. I was so worried that I couldn't bear to go away. Sadness makes me deeply grieved.

Make an appreciative comment
This poem was probably written by Li Bai to cope with the darkness of state affairs at that time. In his later years, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty indulged in debauchery, favoring Yang Guifei, and became a traitor, eunuch, and border general, making the country a mess. In the poem, "The toad eclipses the round shadow, and the bright night is over" seems to hit this dark situation. Shen Deqian said, this is "insinuating that the imperial concubine will confuse the Lord". (Tang Poetry). However, the poet's theme is unclear, but he uses argot throughout, turning reality into a mirage and alluding to reality with a toad eclipsing the moon, which is very profound and tortuous. One novel and wonderful imagination after another in the poem shows the ups and downs of the poet's feelings, and the words are like flowing water, full of charm and intriguing, which embodies the bold, fresh and elegant style of Li Bai's poems.
Gulangyu's creative background;
This poem is considered to be a work before the Anshi Rebellion in the last years of Tianbao in the Tang Dynasty. Chen Xiaoyun: "You must go against Lushan Mountain." ("Poetry is better than a sword") Xiao Shiyun said: "According to this poem, the moon is used to attract interest. God, Xiang Jun; Month, I like it. Gai is the rebellion of Anshi, which is the sign of the imperial concubine. " (Supplement to the Classification of Li Taibai's Poems).
The first half of this poem symbolizes the prosperity of Kaiyuan. In the poet's mind, it is like the moon in the eyes of a child. In the second half of Yu Tianbao's later period, Toad refers to An Lushan, Yang and other traitors, eunuchs and border generals, who hoodwinked the monarch, disturbed the state affairs and made the country filthy.
Daming Nightmare seems to satirize this dark situation. But the poet didn't know what to say, but he made a whole argot, turned reality into a mirage, and alluded to reality by eating the moon with a toad, which was very profound and tortuous. One novel and wonderful imagination after another in the poem shows the ups and downs of the poet.
