1. The most powerful Mid-Autumn Festival poem - "Looking at the Moon and Huaiyuan" (Zhang Jiuling of the 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.
Comments: Zhang Jiuling was the prime minister during the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. He was later ostracized by traitorous ministers and demoted to Jingzhou. On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, he missed the distant place and wrote this poem. Famous sentences can only be written after being demoted.
2. The loneliest Mid-Autumn Festival poem - "Looking at the Moon on the Fifteenth Night" (Wang Jian, Tang Dynasty)
Crows roost on the white trees in the atrium, and the cold dew wets the sweet-scented osmanthus silently.
Tonight, when the moon is bright and everyone looks around, I don’t know who is missing my autumn thoughts.
Comment: This poem first writes about the moonlight of the Mid-Autumn Festival, and then writes about looking at the moon and cherishing people, showing a picture of a lonely, deserted, and quiet Mid-Autumn night. It starts with descriptions of scenery and expresses emotions, with rich imagination and endless charm.
3. The most frontier-like Mid-Autumn Festival poem - "Midnight Wu Song Autumn Song" (Li Bai, Tang Dynasty)
The moon is shining in Chang'an, and the sound of thousands of households pounding clothes is heard.
The autumn wind never blows away, but there is always love between the two.
Whenever the Hulu are defeated, a good man will stop his expedition.
Comments: "Midnight Wu Songs" includes four songs: Spring Songs, Summer Songs, Autumn Songs and Winter Songs. This autumn song is about a wife who is on an expedition and misses her husband ("beloved man") on an expedition to the frontier on an autumn night. Although it does not directly describe love, every word is permeated with sincere affection. Li Bai has many works describing the moon: "I didn't know the moon when I was young, so I called it a white jade plate", "Toast a glass to the bright moon, and make three people's shadows", "The bright moon rises out of the Tianshan Mountains, among the vast sea of ??clouds", "Looking up at the bright moon, bowing down to think "Hometown", "Today's people don't see the ancient moon, but this month once illuminated the ancients", etc. Of course, most of them are not written about the Mid-Autumn Festival.
4. The most affectionate Mid-Autumn Festival poem - "Moon Night" (Du Fu, Tang Dynasty)
Tonight in Yanzhou, I can only watch the moon in my boudoir.
I pity my children from afar, but I still remember Chang'an.
The fragrant mist and clouds make the servant girl wet, and the clear jade arms are cold.
Whenever I lean on the virtual guise, my tears will dry up under my eyes.
Comments: Obviously I am in Chang'an, looking at the moon and thinking of my relatives in Fuzhou (today's Fuxian County, Shaanxi Province). But the poem thinks from the opposite perspective, only writing about the wife "looking alone" at the moon in Yanzhou and "reminiscing about Chang'an". Lao Du's poems are always so sad.
5. The coldest Mid-Autumn Festival poem - "Looking at the Moon in the Pavilion on the Night of August 15th" (Bai Juyi of the Tang Dynasty)
On the night of August 15th in the past year, by the apricot garden by the Qujiang Pool .
On the night of August 15th this year, in front of the Shatou Water Museum in Penpu.
Looking to the northwest, where is my hometown? To the southeast, I can see how full the moon is.
No one could catch the wind yesterday, but tonight the light is as clear as in previous years.
Comment: The moon is still the moon of the past, but the place is not the same place as before. Naturally, the people around me are no longer the same people as before. He was demoted to Penpu (pénpǔ, today's Jiujiang, Jiangxi Province). Things have changed, his hometown has disappeared, and he is left alone. Bai Juyi's "Pipa Xing" was also written in Jiujiang. If he hadn't been demoted, how could he have written these famous works?
6. The most sentimental Mid-Autumn poem - "Mid-Autumn Moon" (Su Shi of the Song Dynasty)
The dusk clouds have collected and overflowed with the cold, and the silver man turned the jade plate silently,
< p>This life and this night will not last long. Where can I see the bright moon next year?Comment: The author Su Shi and his brother Su Che reunited after a long separation and enjoyed the Mid-Autumn Festival moon.
Such a pleasant thing made the author think about the reunion shortly after the party.
