1, looking at the moon for fifteen nights
Wang Jian [Tang Dynasty]
There are crows in Bai Shu and osmanthus in Coody Leng in the atrium.
I don't know who Qiu Si will meet tonight.
translate
Magpies and crows inhabit the snow-white trees on the ground of the courtyard, and the autumn dew silently wets the osmanthus in the courtyard.
People are looking up at the bright moon in the sky tonight. I wonder whose home Qiu Si's love belongs to?
On the night of August 15th, I was forbidden to remember Yuanjiu on the moon.
Bai Juyi [Tang Dynasty]
The silver platform is golden and gloomy, and acacia is alone in Hanlin.
The new moonlight on the night of March 5, 2000 miles away, is pleasant.
It's cold in the east of Zhu Gong Palace, and the west clock in the bath hall leaks deeply.
Still afraid that the light is different and Jiangling is humble and humid.
translate
The palace was dark, and I stayed alone in imperial academy, thinking about my friends far away.
Today is August 15th, the bright moonlight, just like I care about the hearts of my friends who are two thousand miles away.
It's already Mid-Autumn Festival, so the foggy water in the east of Zhu Gong Palace makes people feel a little cold. The clock leak in the palace told me that the night was already deep.
What I am worried about now is that my friends can't see the bright moonlight, because Jiangling is low and heavy clouds in autumn will block the moonlight.
Look at the moon in the pavilion on the night of August 15th.
Bai Juyi [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.
translate
In the past, on the bright moon night of August 15th, I enjoyed the moon in the apricot garden beside Qujiang Pool.
This year is also the moonlit night of August 15th, and I have been at the lonely riverside of Songpu in Jiangzhou.
Looking to the northwest, where is my hometown? In the southeast, the moon has made several rounds.
The wind blew all night last night, and no one understood. Tonight, the moonlight is as cool as last year.
4. Mid-Autumn Moon
Yan Shu [Song]
Ten rounds of frost shadows turn to court, and tonight is a lonely corner.
Su E may have no regrets, but Yuchan is lonely and lonely.
translate
In the moonlight, the shadow of buttonwood moved unconsciously with the passage of time. On this reunion night, it was still facing the corner alone.
Now Chang 'e in the Moon Palace is not without regrets. After all, she was only accompanied by the lonely moon palace and the lonely osmanthus tree.
