Silent Night Thoughts
Li Bai [Tang Dynasty]
The moonlight shines brightly in front of the bed, and it is suspected to be frost on the ground.
Look up at the bright moon and lower your head to think about your hometown.
Translation: The bright moonlight shines on the window paper, as if there is a layer of frost on the ground. I couldn't help but raise my head and look at the bright moon in the sky outside the window that day. I couldn't help but lower my head and think about my hometown far away.
This poem describes the feeling of a poet living abroad on an autumn night, looking up at the moon and missing his hometown.
"Looking up at the bright moon, bowing down to miss my hometown" are two famous lines that have been passed down through the ages. Although these poems are simple in language, they express the praise and love for the bright moon vividly and have been passed down to this day.
