1. There are many ancient poems about the Mid-Autumn Moon. Some of them are selected for readers’ pleasure. Examples are as follows:
1. "Watching the Moon on the Fifteenth Night"
(Tang Dynasty ) Wang Jian
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.
2. "Mid-Autumn Festival"
(Tang Dynasty) Li Pu
The bright mirror rises in the sky, and the fairy music in the clouds is silent. The autumn colors are evenly divided and the moon is full, and the clouds are always bright and clear. The cunning rabbit falls from the string in the air, and the evil toad does not appear in front of you. Lingcha made an appointment to join hands and wait until the Milky Way is completely cleared.
3. "Playing with the Moon on the Night of August 15th"
(Tang Dynasty) Liu Yuxi
Heaven will sweep the moon across the world tonight. The summer heat has retreated and the skies are clear, and the autumn scenery is clear and clear. The stars make them shine, and the wind and dew make them shine. The one who can change the human world is Yu Jing.
4. "Playing with the Moon in the Taoyuan on the 15th of August"
(Tang Dynasty) Liu Yuxi
Seeing the moon in the dust makes me feel free, especially in the Qingqiu Fairy Mansion. The condensed light and long cold dew fall, standing on the highest mountain at this time. There are no clouds in the blue sky, and there is no wind, and there are pines growing on the mountains and water flowing down from the mountains. Taking a leisurely look at the group of animals, the sky and the earth are thousands of miles apart.
5. "Looking at the Moon in the Pavilion on the Night of August 15th"
(Tang Dynasty) Bai Juyi
On the night of August 15th in the past year, I was beside the apricot garden by the Qujiang Pool. On the night of August 15th this year, in front of the Shatou Water Museum in Penpu. Where is the hometown to the northwest? How many times is the moon full to the southeast? Yesterday the wind blew and no one was there, but tonight the light is as clear as in previous years.
6. "Guizi on the Night of August 15th in Tianzhu Temple"
(Tang Dynasty) Pi Rixiu
The jade stone fell under the moon wheel and was found in front of the temple. Revival new. So far, there is no such thing as happening in heaven. It should be thrown to people by Chang'e.
7. "Moonlight Night on the Spring River"
(Tang Dynasty) Zhang Ruoxu
The tide of the Spring River reaches the sea level, and the bright moon on the sea rises with the tide. The twinkling waves follow the waves for thousands of miles, but there is no moon on the spring river! The river flows around Fangdian, and the moonlight shines on the flowers and forests like sleet. Frost is flying in the sky unknowingly, and the white sand on the pavilion cannot be seen.
8. "Chang'e"
(Tang Dynasty) Li Shangyin
The candle shadow on the mica screen is deep, and the long river is gradually falling and the dawn stars are sinking. Chang'e should regret stealing the elixir, and her heart will be filled with blue sea and blue sky every night.
9. "Gu Lang Yue Xing"
(Tang Dynasty) Li Bai
When I was young, I didn't know the moon, so I called it a white jade plate. I also suspected that the Yao Tai Mirror was flying in the blue clouds. The immortal has his legs hanging down, and the osmanthus tree is not round. The white rabbit made the medicine by pounding it. Who would he want to eat with? The toad has eroded its round shadow, and the bright night has faded away.
10. "Looking at the Moon and Huaiyuan"
(Tang Dynasty) Zhang Jiuling
The bright moon rises on the sea, and the end of the world is at this time. Lovers complain about the distant night, but they miss each other at night. When the candle is extinguished, the compassionate light is full, 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.
11. "Mid-Autumn Moon"
(Song Dynasty) Su Shi
The dusk clouds have collected and overflowed with clear cold, and the silver man turned the jade plate silently. This night in this life will not last long. Where can I see the bright moon next year?
12. "Taichang Yin"
(Song Dynasty) Xin Qiji
A round of autumn shadows turns to golden waves, and the flying mirror is polished again. Ask Chang'e about the wine: What can I do if I am deceived by my gray hair? Take a good ride in the wind, see the sky thousands of miles away, and look straight down at the mountains and rivers. Cut off the Gui Posuo. Humanity is more clear.
13. "Seeing the Moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival and Ziyou"
(Song Dynasty) Su Shi
The bright moon has not yet risen high in the mountains, and the auspicious light is thousands of feet long. Before the cup is finished, the silver tower surges, and the chaotic clouds break away like crashing waves. Whoever washes his eyes for God should use thousands of dendrobium waters from the Ming River. Then I looked coldly at the people in the world, and I couldn't bear to look at Zhanran. The sparks in the southwest are like projectiles, and the horns and tails are bright and clear, like dragons and dragons.
14. "Mid-Autumn Festival"
(Song Dynasty) Dai Shiping
Wine the wine curling bottle to enjoy the trip, this year will live up to the Mid-Autumn Festival. My heart is like the moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival, and I am willing to shine on my head for a crazy man.
15. "A Cut Plum Blossom"
(Song Dynasty) Li Qingzhao
The fragrance of red lotus root lingers in the jade mat in autumn. He undressed Luo Shang lightly and boarded the orchid boat alone. Who in the clouds sent brocade books? When the wild goose returns, the moon is full on the west tower. The flowers float and the water flows. One kind of lovesickness, two places of idle sorrow. There is no way to eliminate this feeling, so I just frown, but it is in my heart.
2. Introduction (excerpt):
1. "Looking at the Moon on the Fifteenth Night"
(Tang Dynasty) Wang Jian
White trees in the atrium The crow, 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.
Translation:
The moonlight shone in the courtyard, and the ground seemed to be covered with a layer of frost and snow; in the shade of the lonely trees, the birds fell asleep one after another. Because of the late night, the autumn dew wetted the sweet-scented osmanthus in the garden. Tonight people are all looking up at the bright and clear moon, but they don’t know whose homes the autumn thoughts fall on?
Appreciation:
The artistic conception of this poem is very beautiful. The poet uses figurative language and rich imagination to exaggerate the specific environmental atmosphere of looking at the moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival, bringing readers into a moon. The artistic conception of people far away and long-lasting thoughts, coupled with a spirited and endless leisurely ending, expresses the feelings of separation and reunion in a very tactful and touching way. The first impression it gives is that of a picturesque scene. Yin Fan's "Heyue Yingling Collection" praised Wang Wei's poems as "paintings on the wall". In Su Shi's words, "there are paintings in the poems". This comment can also be applied to all Tang poems with artistic conception. Because of this, painters in the past dynasties like to create poetic paintings of the Tang Dynasty.
There are prints based on this poem in the "Tang Poetry and Painting Manual" of the Ming Dynasty. Its background is the winding bank, distant mountains, and the bright moon in the sky. The center of the picture is a tourist attraction near the water. It is surrounded by curved railings made of bamboo, Taihu stones, and there are several crows on a tall deciduous sycamore tree. Next to the tree grows the swaying leaves of autumn osmanthus. There were five people under the tree, two of them looked at the moon and talked.

2. "Guizi on the Night of August 15th in Tianzhu Temple"
(Tang Dynasty) Pi Rixiu
The jade stone fell under the moon wheel and was found in front of the temple. Revival new. So far, there is no such thing as happening in heaven. It should be thrown to people by Chang'e.
Translation:
The sweet-scented osmanthus fell from the sky, as if it were falling from the moon. Picking up the sweet-scented osmanthus in front of the temple, I saw that its color was white and fresh. I still don’t understand why Wu Gang has trouble with the osmanthus tree. This sweet-scented osmanthus was probably scattered by Chang'e and given to everyone.
Appreciation:
This poem is not as desolate, withered, melancholy or sad as other poems describing the Mid-Autumn Festival. Contacting the background of the poem, we can know that the poet was a Jinshi in high school the year before and was traveling eastward at this time. It was also when the poet was in high spirits, so the whole poem was naturally relaxed and without any worries. A large part of the poem is the poet's association, which is not realistic, but it does not make people feel empty. The clever association adds a bit of "playfulness" to the "silent" poem, which is just right.

"New Book of Tang·Yiwenzhi" records many volumes of "Pi Rixiu Ji", "Pi Zi", and "Pi Shi Lumen Jia Chao".
3. "Mid-Autumn Moon"
(Song Dynasty) Su Shi
The dusk clouds have collected and overflowed with clear cold, and the silver man turned the jade plate silently. This night in this life 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 obscured by wind and clouds, and I rarely encounter such beautiful scenery as today. It’s really rare! But next year’s Mid-Autumn Festival, where will I watch the moon?
Appreciation:
This little poem, titled "Mid-Autumn Moon", is naturally about the joy of "people having a full moon"; it is also written about "Yangguan Song", which also involves farewell feelings. It describes the author and his brother Su Che's reunion after a long absence, enjoying the Mid-Autumn Moon. It also expresses the sadness and emotion of breaking up soon after they reunited. The meaning of "Moon to Mid-Autumn Festival" is particularly clear, but the writing does not start from the moonlight directly, but from the "twilight cloud", and the writing is full of twists and turns. The bright moon is first covered by clouds, but once the "twilight clouds are gone", there will be more clear light. There are no words such as "moonlight" and "like water" in the sentence, but the words "overflow" and "qinghan" have the magical charm of moonlight like water, and they all have the feeling of empty and clear water. The moon and stars were sparse, and the Milky Way appeared very faint and far away.
