Su Shi
When did the moon begin to appear? I take my glass from a distance. I wonder what year it is today. I want to ride home in the wind, but I'm afraid it's too cold. Dancing and watching shadows is like being on the earth. The moon turned into a scarlet pavilion, hanging low on the carved window, shining on the sleepy self. There should be no hate. Why leave? People are sad and happy, and they are separated and reunited. The moon will darken or shine, and it will become round or round. Nothing is perfect, even in the past. I hope people live a long life.
[Poetry translation, poetry]
On the Mid-Autumn Festival in Chen Bing, I happily drank (straight) until (the next day) morning, got drunk, wrote this song (word), and also missed (my brother) Ziyou.
When will the bright moon appear? I asked the sky with a cup. The fairy palace in the sky doesn't know what age it is. It is said that there are only a few days in the celestial world and thousands of years underground, so I ask questions. I want to ride the wind to the sky (it seems that I came down from the sky to the earth, so I said "go home", but I am afraid that the beautiful moon palace made of jade can't stand the cold in the sky (it is said that the palace in the middle of the month is called Guanghan Palace). In imagination, dancing to the moon and clearing the shadows with people are like riding a cloud against the wind, and being in the sky is not like being on earth!
The moon is turning and shining on the magnificent pavilions. At night, the moonlight shines on people who are too preoccupied to sleep through low carved doors and windows. Since the moon is full, there should be no hatred, but why do people often reunite after they leave? People's experiences have joys and sorrows; As for the moon, it will also encounter yin, eyes, circle and lack; This situation, since ancient times, is rarely perfect. I just hope we all live a long and healthy life. Although we are thousands of miles apart, we can enjoy the beautiful moonlight together.
