The pinyin version of the first month of the Mid-Autumn Festival with a cut of plums: yì duì zhōng qiū dān guì cóng, huā yě bēi zhōng, yuè yě bēi zhōng.
Reminiscent of the Mid-Autumn Festival. Flowers in cup. The moon is in the cup. The same person is upstairs tonight. Clouds wet the screen window. Rain wet the screen.
I want to take advantage of the wind and ask about chemical industry. The road is also difficult to pass. It is also difficult to get through the letter. The whole hall is only filled with candles. Cup and calm. Sing and be calm.
Translation:
Recalling the Mid-Autumn Festival in the past, drinking wine and admiring the moon among the osmanthus bushes, the flowers were in the wine glass, and the moon was in the wine glass. This year's Mid-Autumn Festival, because it rained, I could only spend it upstairs. The wine was the same, and there were clouds and rain in front of the window. I wanted to take advantage of the wind to go to heaven to ask questions, but the sky was blocked and there was no way to post a letter. There was no moon in the painting hall, only red candles illuminated the demon, so I could only calmly raise a glass and drink, and enjoy the singing and dancing calmly.

Extended information:
Ancient poetry is a general term for ancient Chinese poetry. In terms of time, it refers to Chinese poetic works before the Opium War in 1840. From a metrical point of view, ancient poetry can be divided into ancient poetry and Modern poetry. Taking the Tang Dynasty as the boundary, all poems in the past were ancient poetry. After that, ancient poetry gradually declined and died out. Ancient style poetry is also called ancient poetry or ancient style poetry; modern style poetry is also called modern style poetry.
From the Book of Songs to Yu Xin in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, all poems can be considered ancient style poems. However, poetry after the Tang Dynasty may not all be considered modern style poems, specifically due to the differences in meter, sound and rhyme.
