The poems expressed during the Mid-Autumn Festival are as follows:
1. Looking at the white rabbit at this time, I want to count the autumn hairs. ——Du Fu's "Two Poems on the Night of August 15th".
Appreciation: This is the poet's work to avoid chaos in Shu. The main theme of this group of poems should be sad and desolate. The first two couplets of the poem express a feeling of rising moonlight, using the moon on August 15th, which symbolizes reunion, to reflect the sorrow of wandering in a foreign land.
“Looking at the White Rabbit at this time, I want to count the hairs on it” means that at this time, looking up at the Jade Rabbit (referring to the moon), I can almost count its hairs, describing the brightness of the moon. The moonlight described gives people a feeling of vastness and sadness. Worrying about oneself more than worrying about the people, this reflects Du Fu's greatness.
2. The dew is white tonight, and the moon is bright in my hometown. ——Du Fu's "Remembering My Brother on a Moonlit Night".
Appreciation: These two poems describe the night of Bailu solar term, which makes people feel chilly, and the moon is a symbol of homesickness. The author writes about the cold night and the bright moon, highlighting the loneliness and loneliness. It reflects the author's feelings for his hometown. These two sentences mean that tonight has entered the Bailu solar term, and the moon is still the brightest in my hometown.
The poem comes from the five-character poem "Remembering My Brother-in-law on a Moonlit Night" by Du Fu, a poet of the Tang Dynasty. It expresses the author's incomparable longing for his brother-in-law. In classical poetry, missing family and friends is a common theme. Such works must avoid mediocrity and be unconventional. It is not enough to rely on the author's life experience alone, but must also be ingenious in expression techniques.
3. A piece of jade falls under the moon, and a new piece of jade is found in front of the palace. ——Pi Rixiu's "Guizi on the Night of August 15th in Tianzhu Temple".
Appreciation: This poem is not as desolate, melancholy or sad as other poems describing the Mid-Autumn Festival. Contacting the background of the poem, we can know that the poet was a Jinshi in high school the year before and was traveling eastward at this time. It was also when the poet was in high spirits, so the whole poem was naturally relaxed and without any worries.
A large part of the poem is the poet's association, which is not realistic, but it does not make people feel empty. The clever association adds a bit of "playfulness" to the "silent" poem, which is just right.
