Appreciate the bright moon and ask the sky for wine.

Appreciate:

The word begins with a question: "when will there be a bright moon?" Ask the sky for wine. " Su Shi wrote this word during Chen Bing's reign. When he opposed Wang Anshi's new law, he invited himself to be appointed as Mizhou. There is both a strong concern about the political situation of the imperial court and a complicated mood of looking forward to returning to Bianjing. Therefore, as soon as the Mid-Autumn Festival arrives, I am drunk and full of interest.

Su Shi regards Qingtian as a friend and asks for wine, which shows his bold personality and extraordinary verve. "When will there be a bright moon?" This problem seems to be traced back to the origin of the bright moon and the origin of the universe; It seems to marvel at the wonders of nature, from which we can feel the poet's praise and yearning for the bright moon.

When will there be a bright moon from Su Shi in the Northern Song Dynasty? Excerpt from the original:

When did the moon begin to appear? I take my glass from a distance. I don't know about palaces in the sky. What year is tonight? I'm willing to ride the wind to the sky, I'm afraid I can't stand the cold for nine days in a pavilion of fine jade. Dance and enjoy the shadow of the moon, which is in the world.

Translation:

When did the bright moon begin to appear? I raised my glass and asked the distant sky. The palace in the sky, I don't know what year and month tonight. I want to ride the breeze back to the sky, but I'm afraid that the buildings built by Meiyu can't stand the cold of nine days. Dancing and enjoying the clear shadows under the moon, is it like being on the earth?
