Looking at the Moon and Huaiyuan / Looking at the Moon and Nostalgic for the Past
Author Zhang Jiuling? Tang Dynasty
The bright moon rises on the sea, and the end of the world is at this time.
Lover complains about the distant night, but falls in love at night.
When the candle is extinguished, it is filled with pity and light, and when I put on my clothes, I feel the dew.
I can’t bear to give it away, but I still have a good night’s sleep.
Translation
A bright moon rises over the vast sea. At this time, you and I are looking at each other at the end of the world.
Sentimental people resent the long moonlit night and stay awake all night longing for their loved ones.
I extinguished the candles and loved the moonlight in this room full of moonlight. I wandered around in my clothes and felt the coolness of the night dew.
I can’t give you the beautiful moonlight, I only hope to meet you in my dreamland.

Nodding, revealing emotions, turning from imagination to one's inner world, is a natural development after looking at the moon. In the long night, boundless sorrow and resentment are wandering. How can a passionate person endure this deserted loneliness? The bright moon shines brightly in the sky. What a beautiful moon it usually is, but how ruthless it is at this moment. It doesn't care about the poet at this moment. The mood at this moment is still the same, hanging high in the sky, spreading the moonlight to the fullest! How can a poet who is full of lovesickness bear this provocation, how can he not toss and turn, unable to sleep?
Neck couplet, tight Continuing from the previous couplet, it describes the actions triggered by lovesickness. The feeling of lovesickness evoked by the moon teaser made the poet's heart ripple frequently. The deep lovesickness could no longer be suppressed and made people sleepless, so he took the following actions. At this time, the poet stood up, extinguished the dim candles, and walked out with his clothes on. The poet, who was suffering from lovesickness, felt more and more that the moonlight was full and lovely. This was a very complicated emotion.
The moon causes the pain of lovesickness. The poet should have resented it, but how could he find it beautiful? Because the poet was alone at this moment, and only the moon could accompany him. At this moment, the moon became the object of his emotion. Although lovesickness is very sad, if even the bright moon is not there, the poet will be swallowed up by the vast night, and the endless pain of lovesickness will be even more depressed in his heart. I think how helpless this must be. So sad! Therefore, the bright moon at this moment has become the poet's support, the poet's hope, and the poet's confidant.
Looking at the moon alone, thinking about it, I am intoxicated, addicted, and can't help myself. Time is frozen at this moment, and I am obsessed. I don't come back to my senses until the cold dew wets my clothes. !This behavior of the poet vividly demonstrates the poet's longing for people far away!
The last couplet still closely follows the previous sentence, and the daydream arises from looking at the moon. When people are away, there is only the bright moon. The poet wants to send a bright moon full of lovesickness to people far away, but he can't help but the result is unbearable! Since it is impossible, then he should go back to bed and hope to meet in dreams. Come on! Looking for dreams is the ninth age tonight. This is the helpless act of a helpless person and a beautiful thought of infatuation! This reflects the poet's infinite longing for his relatives in his hometown and adds a sense of loneliness. Love! When I wake up from the dream, all that is left is infinite longing.
