There is a pool of light in front of my bed.
Could it be frost on the ground?
Looking up, I found that the moon was bright;
Bow, I was drowned in homesickness.

Thoughts in the dead of night
Tang Dynasty: Li Bai
The foot of my bed is shining so brightly. Is there frost already?
I looked up at the moon and looked down, feeling nostalgic.
Interpretation: the bright moonlight sprinkled on enough paper, as if the ground had been frosted. I couldn't help looking up at the bright moon in the sky outside the window that day, and I couldn't help but bow my head and think of my hometown in the distance.
