Song Dynasty: Su Shi
Chen Bing Mid-Autumn Festival, happily drank the next morning, drunk, wrote this word, and missed my brother Su Zhe.
When did the moon begin to appear? I take my glass from a distance. I don't know the palace in the sky, and I don't know the month and time. 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 to find out what shadows look like on the earth. (what: when; Afraid of another work: only/afraid)
The moon turned into a scarlet pavilion, hanging low on the carved window, shining on the sleepy self. The moon should not have any resentment against people. Why is it round when people are gone? People are sad and happy, and they are separated and reunited. The moon will darken or shine, and it will become round or round. Nothing is perfect, even in the past. I hope people will live for a long time and have a good scenery thousands of miles away. (Long-term work: bias)
Translation:
On the Mid-Autumn Festival of Chen Bingnian (A.D. 1076), I drank happily until dawn, got drunk, wrote this word, and missed my brother Su Zhe.
When did the bright moon begin to exist? I picked up my glass and asked the distant sky. I don't know about palaces in the sky. What year is tonight? I want to go back to the sky with the wind to have a look, but I'm worried that the buildings built with beautiful jade are too high for me to stand the cold. Get up and dance and enjoy your clear shadow in the moonlight. The moon palace is nothing like on the earth.
The moon moved, turned the scarlet pavilion, hung low on the carved window, and shone on people who were not sleepy. Mingyue shouldn't have any resentment against people, but why is it always round when people leave? People have changes in emotions, and the moon has changes from sunny to sunny, which is difficult to be comprehensive from ancient times to now. I hope people can stay together for a long time, even if they are thousands of miles apart, they can enjoy the beautiful moon together.
2. Mid-Autumn Moon in Yangguan District
Song Dynasty: Su Shi
The twilight clouds are cold, and the silver-haired people silently turn to the tracts.
If you don't meet a good night in this life, where will you see the bright moon next year?
Translation:
As night falls, the clouds are exhausted, the human world is full of cold, the milky way is silent, and the bright moon is idling, as white as a jade plate.
Every Mid-Autumn Festival night in my life, the moonlight is mostly covered by clouds, and I rarely encounter such beautiful scenery as today. It is really hard to get! But where shall I go to enjoy the moon next Mid-Autumn Festival?
3. Niannujiao Mid-Autumn Festival
Song Dynasty: Su Shi
Looking far from the sky, you can see the clear sky in Wan Li without a cloud. Sweet-scented osmanthus flies, where the sun shines and the air is crisp in autumn. Yuyu Qionglou, coming and going from Luan, people are in Liangguo. Mountains and rivers are picturesque, and smoke trees are vivid.
I clap my hands and sing wildly, till, raising my cup, I asked the bright moon, and become a guest. Dancing and wandering in the wind, I don't know what night it is I want to return by wind, so I don't need to ride Peng Yi. In the Crystal Palace, the flute was blown off with a loud sound.
Translation:
Being in a tall building, the moonlit Mid-Autumn Festival makes Wan Li clear and Wan Li cloudless, which is even more boundless. The moon fell from the sky, immersing the autumn blue sky in a cold. On the Jade Palace in Qionglou, fairies and couples are free to go in and out. I yearn for the purity and freedom in the moon palace, and the beautiful mountains and rivers are picturesque. Looking over, the trees are swaying in the dim moonlight.
Now I regard the bright moon in the sky and my own shadow around me as bosom friends and dance with him. I hope to spend such a good night happily, invite the bright moon to feast my eyes and drown my sorrows in wine, but my sorrow is still there. Don't live up to this beautiful scenery. At this moment, only the moon is my confidant. I am eager to go home in the wind. In the Qing Moon Palace, I will blow the flute across the sky to arouse people's pursuit and yearning for a better realm.
4. "Looking at the moon in the pavilion on August 15th"
Tang Dynasty: Bai Juyi
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.
Translation:
On the evening of August 15 last year, I spent the festival in the apricot garden next to Qujiangchi in Beijing.
However, the night of August 15 this year was spent in front of the demoted Songpu Shatou Water Hall.
Looking northwest, I can't see my hometown. People have seen the full moon several times in the southeast.
Yesterday's autumn wind blew through this bleak autumn, and tonight's clear moonlight remains the same.
5. "Two Mid-Autumn Festival Moon Poems, Part Two"
Tang Dynasty: Li Qiao
Round and cold, all the words are the same.
Know that thousands of miles away, there is no rain and no wind?
Translation:
A bright moon rises in the night sky. It is said that everywhere is the same moonlight.
Who knows that thousands of miles away, there is no wind and rain?
