"Three Five Seven Words/Autumn Wind Ci" Tang Dynasty: Li Bai
Original text: The autumn wind is clear, the autumn moon is bright, the fallen leaves gather and disperse, and the jackdaws are frightened. When will we know each other when we miss each other? It’s embarrassing to be here this night! Entering the door of my lovesickness, you know that my lovesickness is painful, long lovesickness makes you remember each other, and short lovesickness makes you infinite. If I had known that it would be such a stumbling block to people's hearts, why would I not have known each other in the first place.
Vernacular interpretation: The autumn wind is clear and the autumn moon is bright. The fallen leaves in the wind sometimes gather and sometimes disperse, and the jackdaws are already roosting, but are startled by the bright moon. I'm looking forward to seeing each other again, but I don't know when. At this time of year, at this night, it's hard to dream of lovesickness.
When you walk into the gate of lovesickness, you know the pain of lovesickness, the eternal lovesickness and eternal memories, but the short-term lovesickness is endless. If I had known that lovesickness would be so entangled in my heart, it would be better not to know each other in the first place.
