When will the bright moon come? Ask the sky for wine.
I wonder what year it is today in the palace in the sky?
I want to ride the wind back home, but I am afraid of the beautiful buildings and jade buildings.
It is too cold at high places.
Dancing to clear the shadow, how does it seem to be in the human world!
Turn to the Zhu Pavilion, where you will find a low-rise house, and the light will make you sleepless.
There should be no hatred, why should we be reunited when we say goodbye?
People have joys and sorrows, and the moon waxes and wanes.
This is a difficult thing to do in ancient times.
I wish you a long life and a long life.

"Shui Tiao Ge Tou"
Appreciation:
Moon appreciation poems are often clear and lonely. Dongpo's poem is as ethereal as misty in the clouds, hidden in the clouds. Between the brilliance. Expressing wine and asking about the moon has the legacy of Li Taibai, the wine fairy, and is full of strangeness and interest.
The bright moon shines brightly across the sky and the world. The sky is lonely and cold, and the world is sleepless. "People have joys and sorrows, separations and reunions, the moon waxes and wanes. This is a difficult thing in ancient times." is already open-minded, but "I hope people will live forever, thousands of miles away, the beauty of the moon" is even more optimistic and sincere. All kinds of emotions are blended under the moonlight, and it becomes an eternal song. . Hu Zai commented: "The Mid-Autumn Festival poems originated from Dongpo's "Shui Diao Ge Tou", and the rest of the poems were completely discarded."

Original text of "Poetry of Mulan":
Chirp after chirp, Mulan is weaving at home, and the sound of the machine is not heard, but the woman sighs. Ask the girl what she is thinking about, and ask the girl what she is remembering. The girl has nothing to think about, and the woman has nothing to remember. I saw the military post last night and the Khan ordered more troops. There are twelve volumes of military books, and each volume has the name of the father. My father has no eldest son, and Mulan has no eldest brother. I am willing to saddle the horse for the city, and from now on I will fight for my father.
You can buy horses in the east market, saddles and shackles in the west market, bridles in the south market, and long whips in the north market. I bid farewell to my parents in the morning and went to the Yellow River in the evening. I don’t hear the voices of my parents calling girls, but I can hear the sound of the Yellow River water splashing. But I left the Yellow River and stayed at the top of the Black Mountain at dusk. I don’t hear my parents calling girls, but I hear Hu Qiming tweeting from Yanshan Mountain.
Thousands of miles away to join the army, it is like flying through the mountains. The new energy spreads to the golden watch, and the cold light shines on the iron clothes. A general will die in a hundred battles, and a strong man will return after ten years.
When I return, I see the emperor, who is sitting in the bright hall. Twelve rounds of Ce Xun will reward hundreds of strong men. The Khan asked what he wanted, but Mulan didn't need Shangshu Lang. I am willing to travel thousands of miles to send my son back to his hometown.
When the father and mother heard that their daughter was coming, they came out to help the general. When my sister heard that my sister was coming, she took care of her makeup. When the younger brother heard that his elder sister was coming, he sharpened his knife and pointed it at the pigs and sheep. Open the door of my east pavilion and sit on my bed in the west pavilion. Take off my war robe and put on my old clothes. When the window is undressed, the mirror is decorated with yellow decals. When I went out to see my friends, they were all frightened and busy. We have been together for twelve years, but we didn’t know Mulan was a girl!
The male rabbit’s feet are twitchy, and the female rabbit’s eyes are blurred. Two rabbits walking next to each other can tell whether I am male or female.
Translation:
The sound of the loom continued, and Miss Mulan was weaving facing the door. The loom suddenly stopped making noise, and only Miss Mulan could be heard sighing. Ask Mulan what girl is thinking and missing? Mulan replied, I didn't think about anything, and I didn't miss anything. But last night I saw a notice in the army and knew that the emperor was recruiting soldiers on a large scale. There were many volumes of recruitment rolls, and my father's name was on each volume. My father has no grown-up son, and Mulan has no brother. I am willing to buy a pommel horse for this purpose, and from now on, I can apply for the army in my father’s place.
Go to the East Market to buy a horse, the West Market to buy a saddle and saddle pads, the South Market to buy a bit and reins, and the North Market to buy a long whip. I said goodbye to my parents in the morning and set off on the road, and camped by the Yellow River at night. I couldn't hear the parents calling for their daughter, but could only hear the rushing sound of the Yellow River. I bid farewell to the Yellow River in the morning and set out on the road, and arrived at the top of the Black Mountain in the evening. I could not hear the voices of my parents calling for their daughter, but could only hear the chirping of the war horses of the Yanshan barbarians.
Traveling thousands of miles to the battlefield. The army flew across the passes and over the mountains. The cold air from the north carries the sound of the night watch. The cold moonlight reflected the soldiers' armor. The soldiers went through countless life-and-death battles and returned victorious many years later.
After returning from victory, he went to see the emperor. The emperor sat in the palace to discuss merits and rewards. Mulan was given the highest level of meritorious service, and she received many rewards and property. The emperor asked Mulan what she wanted. Mulan did not want to be an official like Shang Shulang, but wanted to ride a thousand-mile horse and send her back to her hometown.
When the parents heard that their daughter was back, they supported each other and went to greet her outside the city; when the elder sister heard that her sister was back, she started dressing up in front of the door; when the younger brother heard that his sister was back, he was busy sharpening his knife. Kill pigs and sheep. Opening the door to the east of my boudoir, I sat on the bed on the west side of my boudoir, took off my shirt, put on my old clothes, arranged my cloud-like sideburns in front of the window, and put flowers on my forehead in front of the mirror. When I went out to meet my companions who were going on the expedition together, they were very surprised. They all said that they had been traveling together for twelve years and they didn't even know that Mulan was a girl.
The male rabbit's feet like to flap around, while the female rabbit's eyes are always narrowed. When they run next to each other on the ground, how can they tell who is male and who is female?
