1, the fifteenth night of the first month
(Tang) Su Weidao
Silver flowers shine like bright lanterns on the tree. On this night, the bridge leading to bright stars opens.
The crowd is surging and the dust is flying under the horseshoe; Moonlight shines in every corner, where people can see the moon overhead.
All prostitutes are Li, and all songs are plums.
The capital has been abolished, so don't worry about the timing of leaking jade. Don't let the only midnight snack pass by in a hurry this year.
Translation:
The lights are scattered, and the depths of the garden reflect bright light, just like delicate flowers; Because it was available everywhere, the iron lock of the city gate was also opened.
The crowd is surging and the dust is flying under the horseshoe; The moonlight shines, and people can see the bright moon everywhere.
In the moonlight, geisha are all dressed up and wearing heavy makeup, singing "Plum Blossoms Fall" as they walk.
The city has cancelled the night ban, so don't worry if the time is missed. Don't let the Lantern Festival night pass by once a year.
2, poetry appreciation:
This poem describes the scenery of Yuanxiao Night in Chang 'an City. According to the Legend of the Tang Dynasty and New Records of the Tang Dynasty and Beijing, lanterns are put on Chang 'an every year on this night. Before and after three days, there was no martial law as usual at night, and there were many people watching the lights. The horses and chariots of the nobles were noisy, and the laughter and laughter of the citizens merged into one, and they spent the whole night in a lively atmosphere.
