When will the bright moon come? Ask the blue sky for wine.
I don’t know what year it is in the palace in the sky?
I want to ride the wind back home, but I am afraid of the beautiful buildings and jade buildings.
It is too cold at high places.
Dancing to clear the shadows, how does it seem to be in the human world!
Turning to the Zhu Pavilion, looking down at the door, the light makes me sleepless.
There should be no hatred, so why should we be reunited when we say goodbye?
People have joys and sorrows, and the moon waxes and wanes.
This matter is difficult to complete in ancient times.
I wish you a long life and a long life.

Ask the blue sky with wine. I wonder what year it is in the palace in the sky?) I want to ride the breeze and return to the sky (as if I originally came down from the sky to the earth, so I say "go back") (I I want to ride the wind back, but I am afraid that the beautiful moon palace made of jade cannot withstand the cold in the high altitude (legend has it that the palace in the middle of the moon is called Guanghan Palace). (I'm afraid it's too cold at high places in the beautiful buildings.) In my imagination, I dance to the moon, and my clear shadow follows people, as if I'm riding on the clouds and wind. I'm in the sky. How can it be compared to being in the world! (Dancing to clear the shadow, what's the difference? In the human world?) The moonlight turns from one side of the vermilion pavilion to the other, shining low on the windows, illuminating the sleepless people. (Turn around the Zhu Pavilion, lower the Qi household, and shine without sleep.) The bright moon should not have any resentment towards people, but why should it be round and bright when relatives are leaving? (There should be no hatred, why should it be round when parting?) People undergo changes in joys and sorrows, and the moon also undergoes changes in waxing and waning. This kind of thing has been difficult to fully understand since ancient times. (People have joys and sorrows, separations and reunions, and the moon waxes and wanes. It is difficult to do this in ancient times.) (I) only hope that people can be safe and healthy, and enjoy the bright and bright moonlight from thousands of miles away. (I wish you a long life and a long journey to visit the beautiful lady.)

The moon turns and shines all over the gorgeous pavilions. Late at night, the moonlight penetrates lowly into the carved doors and windows, illuminating the people who are worried and unable to sleep. people. Since the moon is round, there should be no hatred, but why do we often reunite when people are parting? Human experiences include sadness, joy, separation, and reunion; as for the moon, it also encounters shadows and eyes. , round, missing; this situation has been like this since ancient times, and it is rare to be perfect. I only hope that we can all be healthy and live long, and that although we are thousands of miles away, we can enjoy this beautiful moonlight together.
Turn to the Zhu Pavilion, where the Qihu is low, and the light is sleepless. There should be no hatred, so why should we prefer the time of separation?

I hope that people will live long and travel thousands of miles to meet Chanjuan.
