Mid-Autumn Festival poems
The bright moon hangs in the autumn sky, moistened by the dew. The startled magpies have not yet settled down, and the flying fireflies roll in behind the curtain. "Feelings Under the Moon at Autumn Night"
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 out, I wonder who is missing in autumn? "Looking at the Moon on the Fifteenth Night"
Ten frost shadows turn around the courtyard, and this evening, people are alone in the corner. Su'e may not be without regrets, but the jade toad is cold and the sweet-scented osmanthus is lonely. "Mid-Autumn Moon"
When will the bright moon come? Ask the sky for wine. I don’t know what year it is in the palace in the sky. People have joys and sorrows, and the moon waxes and wanes. This is difficult to do in ancient times. I hope that people will live long and travel thousands of miles to meet Chanjuan. "Shui Tiao Ge Tou"
The bright moon is easy to be low and people are easy to disperse. When you come back to drink, you will watch it again. The moonlight in front of the hall becomes clearer and clearer, and the grass in the throat is humming and the grass is dew. There is no one in the room after the rolling curtain is pushed open, except for the old man Chu who is mute under the window. Don't be ashamed of poverty in Nandu. There are several people who write poems about the moon. "Seeing the Moon and Ziyou in the Mid-Autumn Festival"
