The verses about looking at the moon and cherishing people are introduced as follows:
1. 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. ——From the Tang Dynasty: Zhang Jiuling's "Watching the Moon and Reminiscing about the Past"
Vernacular interpretation: A bright moon rises over the vast sea, and at this time you and I are looking at each other at the end of the world. Loved people resent the long moonlit night and stay awake all night longing for their loved ones.
2. Moving the boat to Yanzhu, the guests are worried about the new arrival at dusk. The trees are low in the wild sky, and the clear moon on the river is close to people. ——From the Tang Dynasty: Meng Haoran's "Su Jiandejiang"
Vernacular interpretation: When the boat docks at the misty islet, new sorrows flood into the hearts of the guests at dusk. The wilderness is endless and the sky is lower than the trees. Only the clear river water and the bright moon come to make people feel close to each other.
3. There is a moon in Chang'an and the sound of thousands of households pounding their clothes. The autumn wind cannot blow away, but there is always love between the two. ——From the Tang Dynasty: Li Bai's "Midnight Wu Song Autumn Song"
Vernacular interpretation: There is a moonlight in Chang'an City, and thousands of households are pounding clothes. The autumn wind carries the sound of pounding clothes, and every family misses those who guard the border.
4. Crows roost on the white trees in the atrium, and the cold dew wets the sweet-scented osmanthus silently. Tonight, when the moon is bright and everyone looks around, I don’t know who is missing my autumn thoughts. ——From the Tang Dynasty: Wang Jian's "Looking at the Moon on the Fifteenth Night and Mailing it to Du Langzhong"
Vernacular interpretation: The moonlight of the Mid-Autumn Festival shines in the courtyard, the ground seems to be covered with a layer of frost and snow, and the crows and birds on the trees have stopped. Stopped the noise and fell into sleep. It's late at night, and the cool autumn dew quietly wets the sweet-scented osmanthus in the garden. Tonight, the bright moon is in the sky, and people are all admiring the moon. I wonder whose house those vast autumn thoughts fall on?
5. The bright moon hangs in the autumn sky, moistened with lustrous dew. The startled magpies have not yet settled down, and the flying fireflies roll in behind the curtain. The cold shadows of the locust tree in the courtyard are sparse, and the neighbor's pestle sounds urgently at night. How long is the good time? Standing looking at the sky. ——From the Tang Dynasty: Meng Haoran's "Autumn Night and the Moonlight"
Vernacular interpretation: A bright moon hangs high in the sky, and the moonlight reflects the dewdrops crystal clear, as if they were wet by dew. Under such beautiful moonlight, the cold magpie doesn't know where to rest. And fireflies don't dare to compete with the moonlight for a little bit of light.
Flying into the room as the door curtain rolled up. The only branches of the locust tree in the yard cast their shadows in the moonlight, looking sparse and desolate. At this time, the sound of pestle coming from the neighbor seemed so clear and urgent in the silent autumn night. Far apart. How to make an appointment for a date to get together? I can only look at the same distant moon melancholy, unable to do anything, just standing there stupidly.
