Melody of Mid-Autumn Festival: "Water Melody Prelude"
How long will the full moon appear? Holding a glass, I asked the sky. I don't know what time of year it will be tonight, in the high palace. Riding the wind, I want to fly there, but I'm afraid the Crystal Palace is too high and cold for me. I stood up to dance and play with my shadow. Can you be gay on high places like on the ground?
The moon revolves around the house, through the screen window, and gently sprinkles the sunshine on the insomnia bed. So, why are times always so full and bright when people break up? Men are sad and happy; They parted or met again; Whether the moon is bright or dark, there will be gains and losses. Nothing is perfect since ancient times. Therefore, let's wish mankind as long as possible! Although thousands of miles apart, we will share her beauty.
This is widely circulated on the Internet.
"Miss you"
When will the moon be clear and bright? I asked the blue sky with a glass of wine in my hand. I don't know what season the sky will be this night. I want to fly home in the wind. However, I'm afraid that the building of crystal and jade is too high and too cold for me. Dancing with my moon shadow, it doesn't seem like the moon on earth is round. The red chamber bends down and the silk cushion door shines on the sleepless bearing. Why is the moon always complete when people are apart? People are sad or happy, near or far, and the moon is bright or dark, or full or loss. This phenomenon has existed since ancient times. May we all live a long life. Although far apart, we can still share the beauty of the moon together. -Poems written by Su Dongpo on 1076 Mid-Autumn Festival night
