Chen Bing Mid-Autumn Festival, drinking up to Dan, drunk writing this article, and pregnant.
When did the moon begin to appear? I take my glass from a distance. I don't know about palaces in the sky. What year is tonight? I want to ride home in the wind, but I'm afraid it's too high and too cold. Dance and enjoy the shadow of the moon, which is in the world. The moon turned into a scarlet pavilion, hanging low on the carved window, shining on the sleepy self. The moon should not have any resentment against people. Why is it round when people are gone? People are sad and happy, and they are separated and reunited. The moon will darken or shine, and it will become round or round. Nothing is perfect, even in the past. I hope people will live for a long time and have a good scenery thousands of miles away.
2. Translation:
On the Mid-Autumn Festival in Chen Bing, I drank happily until the next morning, got drunk, wrote this word, and missed my brother Su Zhe.
When did the bright moon begin to appear? I raised my glass and asked the distant sky. The palace in the sky, I don't know what year and month tonight. I want to ride the breeze back to the sky, but I'm afraid that the buildings built by Meiyu can't stand the cold of nine days. Dancing and enjoying the clear shadows under the moon, is it like being on the earth?
The moon revolves around the scarlet pavilion, hanging low on the carved window, shining on the sleepy self. Mingyue shouldn't have any regrets about people, should she? Why is it round when people are gone? People have joys and sorrows, and the moon changes from sunny to sunny. This kind of thing has been difficult to be comprehensive since ancient times. I only hope that all the relatives in this world can be safe and healthy, and even if they are thousands of miles apart, they can enjoy this beautiful moonlight.
3. Theme:
The thoughts and feelings expressed in this word are very obvious. Due to the political frustration and separation from his brother Su Zhe, Su Shi felt a sense of oppression in the Mid-Autumn Festival. However, he did not fall into a negative and pessimistic mood, immediately eliminated his worries with transcendental philosophical thoughts, and finally showed his love for human life.
Extension material "When does the moon shine?" It was written by Su Shi, a great writer in the Song Dynasty, at the Mid-Autumn Festival in Mizhou (now Zhucheng City, Shandong Province) in A.D. 1076 (the ninth year of Xining in Song Shenzong).
This poem is based on the feeling that the moon rises and my brother Su Zhe hasn't seen for seven years. It imagines and thinks about the Mid-Autumn Moon, and integrates the feelings of joys and sorrows in the world into the philosophical pursuit of life in the universe, which reflects the author's complex and contradictory thoughts and feelings, and also shows the author's optimistic spirit of loving life and being positive. The first word reflects the persistence of life, and the second word shows the good desire for the moon.
This word was written by the author during the Mid-Autumn Festival in Song Shenzong on 1076 (the ninth year of Xining). The preface before the word explains the process of writing the word: "Chen Bing Mid-Autumn Festival, drunk with joy. I am pregnant for this article. "
Su Shi begged for freedom and served as an official everywhere because of his different political views from Wang Anshi, a political reformer in power. He once asked to be transferred to a place near Su Zhe to be an official, so that his brothers could get together more. In A.D. 1074 (the seventh year of Xining), Su Shi knew Mizhou. After arriving in Michigan, this wish still cannot be realized.
On the Mid-Autumn Festival in A.D. 1076, the moon was bright and Yin Hui was everywhere. The poet and his younger brother Su Zhe had not been reunited for seven years. At this moment, the poet is facing a bright moon, and his heart is full of ups and downs, so he wrote this famous article with the strength of wine.
