The translation of the ancient poem by Yingying Zhang Shunmin is as follows:
In the opening chapter, "I" is pleased with the affection of the flowing fireflies. They understand "my" mind and fall through the curtain on "my" lapel. The poet integrates his personality style and subjective emotional color into the objects and images, making the poems blend with objects and myself, and create deep emotions. Although the poet expresses his intention to move away, he also thinks a lot about social life. His thoughts shine with rationality and enlighten people.
"Don't be too humble because of your humble background" expresses the mentality of not feeling inferior because of your humble background. "The bright moon dares to stir up chaos in the stars" shows the fearlessness of not showing weakness to the strong and daring to compete with them. "It's dark but you can fly in the rain" shows the fighting spirit of fighting against darkness and facing difficulties.
The firefly in Jianggao is so bright that it still undresses and lights up clothes at night. But when you gain insights, you will gain more meaning. Don’t think that your place of birth is too humble.
When the moon is bright, I dare to fly among the stars, but when it is dark, I can fly in the rain. Today you know clearly that I am leaving. No matter how many years you wander, you will see me return.
