I can’t bear to give away gifts, but I still have a dream vacation.
Source: Zhang Jiuling's "Looking at the Moon and Huaiyuan" The bright moon rises on the sea, and the end of the world is at this time. Lovers complain about the distant night, but they miss each other at night. When the candle is extinguished, the compassion light is full, and when I put on my clothes, I feel the dew. I can't bear to give it away, but I still have a good night's sleep.
Note: A bright moon rises over the vast sea. At this time, you and I are looking at each other at the end of the world. ?
Sentimental people resent the long moonlit night and stay up all night longing for their loved ones. ?
I extinguished the candles and loved the moonlight in this room full of moonlight. I wandered around in my clothes and felt the coldness of the night dew. ?
I can’t give you the beautiful moonlight, I only hope to meet you in my dreamland.
Author: Zhang Jiuling (678-740): Minister and poet of the Tang Dynasty. Zishou, a naturalist, Han nationality, was born in Qujiang, Shaozhou (now Shaoguan City, Guangdong). Jinshi during the Chang'an period. When the official reaches Zhongshu's minister's office, he and Zhongshu's disciples make peace with each other. He was a famous virtuous prime minister in the Tang Dynasty. He was later dismissed as the governor of Jing. The style of poetry is light. There is "Qujiang Collection". He is a strategic and insightful famous politician, writer, poet, and prime minister. He dared to fight against evil forces, fulfilled his duties faithfully, and made positive contributions to the "Kaiyuan Rule". His five-character ancient poems, with their simple language and profound life ideals, made a great contribution to eradicating the Six Dynasties poetic style followed in the early Tang Dynasty. Known as "the first person in Lingnan".
Creative background: In the 21st year of Emperor Xuanzong's reign (733), Zhang Jiuling served as prime minister in the court. After being slandered and ostracized by the traitorous prime minister Li Linfu, he was dismissed as prime minister in the 24th year of Kaiyuan (736). The poem "Looking at the Moon and Huaiyuan" was probably written after Zhang Jiuling was demoted to the governor of Jingzhou in the 24th year of Kaiyuan, and "Twelve Poems on Feelings" should belong to the same period.
