Watch the moon in the pavilion on the night of August 15th.
Author: Bai Juyi in Tang Dynasty
On the evening of August 15 last year, next to the apricot garden by Qujiang Pool.
On the night of August 15 this year, in front of Songpu Shatou Water Hall.
Where is the hometown in the northwest and the full moon in the southeast.
Yesterday, the wind blew and no one would meet. Tonight, the light is as clear as usual.
Translation:
In the past, on the night of August 15, "I" stood beside the apricot garden by Qujiang Pool. On the night of August 15 this year, "I" was in front of Songpu Shatou Water Hall again. How can I see that my hometown is in the northwest and the moon has circled several times in the southeast? The wind blew yesterday and no one paid attention. The beauty tonight is as beautiful as those years ago.
