Yangguan Qu·Mid-Autumn Moon
Song Dynasty: Su Shi
The real name of the Mid-Autumn Festival composition is Xiao Qin Wang, and it is Yangguan Qu
Twilight The clouds are gone and overflowing with the cold air, and the silver man turns the jade plate silently.
This life and this night will not last long. Where can I see the bright moon next year?
Translation
Night falls, the clouds disappear, the sky and the earth are filled with cold air, the Milky Way flows silently, and the bright moon turns to the sky, as white and crystal clear as a jade plate.
Every Mid-Autumn Festival night in my life, the moonlight is mostly hidden by wind and clouds, and I rarely encounter such beautiful scenery as today. It is really rare! But next year's Mid-Autumn Festival, where will I go to watch the moon?
