Su Shi's chapter - "Shui Diao Ge Tou"
Era: Song Dynasty
Author: Su Shi
Work: Shui Diao Ge Tou
Content:
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.
