Translation:
In the sixth year of Yuanfeng, on the evening of1October 12 (or 10831October/2), (I) took off my clothes and got ready for bed. Just when I saw the moonlight shining on the door, I got up happily and went out for a walk. I thought no one would play with me, so I went to Chengtian Temple to find Zhang Huaimin. Huaimin didn't sleep either, so we walked in the yard together.
The moonlight shines in the courtyard as clear and transparent as clear water, and the algae and shepherd's purse in the water are interlaced, which turned out to be the shadow of bamboo and cypress. What night has no moonlight? Where is there no bamboo and cypress? It's just the lack of idle people like us.

The basis for dividing the rhythm of poetry;
There are usually two bases for dividing the reading rhythm of ancient poetry. Through syllables or meanings. In other words, the unit of pause in reading can be a relatively complete syllable or meaning. For example, the sentence "advise you to drink one more glass of wine" can be divided into "advise you to drink one more glass of wine" according to syllables; According to the meaning, it can be divided into "advise you to make more/a glass of wine".
Generally speaking, poetry is divided into more phonological rhythms and less ideographic rhythms. Read the rhyme aloud, slightly longer, and read the charm of the poem.
Words are mainly divided into meaning units. Such as Silence/Loneliness/West Building, Lonely Indus/Deep Courtyard/Lock Clear Autumn. (Hui Huan), this is divided according to the relationship between verb and object. More attention should be paid to the "one-word collar" sentence in the word, such as Liu Yong's "Klang Ganzhou": "Sprinkle rainy days on the river and wash the autumn clean. The frost wind is getting tighter and tighter, the river is cold, and the afterglow is gradually building. " The words "right" and "gradual" must be paused and reread.
