Bai Juyi's ancient poem about the Mid-Autumn Moon is as follows:
The clear light for thousands of miles is unimaginable, adding sorrow and hatred to the end of the world. The long-term garrison outside Long, how can we say goodbye in front of the court.

The Jade Rabbit and the Silver Toad are far away from knowing how many people have broken hearts according to him.
