When I was young, I didn't know the bright moon in the sky, so I called it Bai Yupan.
I suspect it is Yao's platform, flying in the sky.
Immortals hang down their feet, and osmanthus trees are round and round.
Why do laurel trees become round in January?
The white rabbit is not an old panacea. Can you tell me who eats it?
Toads eat the full moon, the moon, the moon is so dark, I don't know.
After Yi shot down nine suns, the paradise on earth was clear and quiet.
The moon has been lost, and there is nothing to see except to walk away. Worry, how can I bear the pain, sadness breaks my heart.

This poem was written shortly before the An Shi Rebellion. This poem first writes about my childish understanding of the moon when I was a child, and then writes about the fairyland-like scenery that gradually became clear when the moon first rose, and then writes about the gradual erosion of the moon from the circle, and then disappears and is confused, and I feel worried and angry inside. Poets use romantic creative techniques to form a magnificent, magical and meaningful artistic image through rich imagination, clever handling of myths and legends and strong lyricism. The whole poem is full of charm and intriguing, which embodies the unrestrained, fresh and elegant style of Li Bai's poems.

When I was a child, I didn't know the moon, so I called it a white jade plate. I also suspect that it is the bright realm of Yaotai immortals, flying to the sky. Looking at the moon at night, you can first see a fairy's feet begin to appear slowly, and then a group of big laurel trees also appear. It is said that there is a white rabbit pounding fairy medicine in the moon. Who is it for? It is also said that there was a big toad in the moon, which gradually eroded the moon. Once upon a time, there was a Houyi who shot down nine suns, leaving only one, so that heaven and man could be peaceful and peaceful. Obsessed with the destruction of yin essence, the moon lost its luster and was no longer worth watching. I am very worried about this. My sadness is really heartbreaking.

This is a Yuefu poem. "Happy in Ancient Waves" is an ancient topic in Yuefu, which belongs to miscellaneous songs. Bao Zhao has "Long Moon Tour", writing a beautiful woman's string song about the moon. Li Bai adopted this topic, so he called it Gulangyue, but did not follow the old content.
Poets use romantic creative techniques to form a magnificent, magical and meaningful artistic image through rich imagination, clever handling of myths and legends and strong lyricism. The poem begins with the understanding of the childlike innocence of the moon in childhood: "I didn't know the moon when I was a child, so I called it a white jade plate." I also suspect that Yao Taijing is flying on the other side of Qingyun Mountain. " The metaphor of "White Jade Plate" and "Yaotai Mirror" vividly shows the shape and color of the moon and the bright and lovely moonlight, which makes people feel very novel and interesting. The verbs "shout" and "doubt" convey the innocence of children. These four poems seem to be handwritten, but they are full of beautiful feelings and talents. Then, he wrote about the rise of the moon: "The immortal hangs his feet, and the osmanthus tree is round?" The white rabbit smashed the medicine and asked who to take it with. "According to ancient myths, there are immortals, osmanthus trees and white rabbits in the moon. When the moon rises, I first see the feet of immortals, and then gradually see the complete shapes of immortals and laurels, the full moon in the middle of the moon and the white rabbit.
The poet used this myth and legend to write a fairyland-like scene when the moon was born. However, the good times didn't last long, and the moon gradually eroded from the circle: "Toad eroded the round shadow, and Daming night was gone." Toad, commonly known as toad; Daming, the moon. Legend has it that the eclipse was caused by a toad eating the moon, and the moon was darkened by the toad. The poet's feelings and hopes are manifested in "the past dust has fallen into nine evils, and the harmony between man and nature is clear." In ancient times, Houyi, who was good at shooting, shot nine suns, leaving only one, saving the sky and people from fire and water. The poet painted such a hero here, not only because there is no such hero in reality, but also because he hopes to have such a hero to sweep the world. However, reality is reality after all, and the poet is deeply disappointed: "Although the yin essence is confusing, it is not enough." Now that the moon is lost and confused, there is nothing to see, so let's go before it's too late. This is a helpless way. The worries in my heart have not been alleviated, but have deepened: "What about worries?" It's heartbreaking "The poet is reluctant to go away, and his heart is full of contradictions and worries.
This poem was probably written by Li Bai to cope with the darkness of state affairs at that time. In his later years, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty indulged in debauchery, favoring Yang Guifei, and became a traitor, eunuch, and border general, making the country a mess. In the poem, "The toad eats a round shadow, and the bright night is over" seems to satirize this dark situation. However, the poet's theme is unclear, but he uses argot throughout, turning reality into a mirage and alluding to reality with a toad eclipsing the moon, which is very profound and tortuous. One novel and wonderful imagination after another in the poem shows the ups and downs of the poet.
