When did the moon begin to appear?
Su Shi [Song Dynasty]
Chen Bing Mid-Autumn Festival, happily drank the next morning, drunk, wrote this word, and missed my brother Su Zhe.
When did the moon begin to appear? I take my glass from a distance. I don't know the palace in the sky, and I don't know the month and time. I'm willing to ride the wind to the sky, I'm afraid I can't stand the cold for nine days in a pavilion of fine jade. Dance to find out what shadows look like on the earth. (what: when; Afraid of another work: only/afraid)
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.
Translation:
On the Mid-Autumn Festival in Chen Bing (A.D. 1076), I drank all night and got drunk until dawn. I wrote this article while I was happy, and at the same time, I expressed my nostalgia for my younger brother Ziyou.
When will there be a bright moon like the Mid-Autumn Festival? I picked up my glass and asked the distant sky. I wonder what day Gao Yao is in the palace. I want to go back to the sky with the wind to have a look, but I'm worried that the buildings built with beautiful jade are too high for me to stand the cold. Get up and dance and enjoy your clear shadow in the moonlight. The Moon Palace is not as warm as fireworks.
The moon moved, turned the scarlet pavilion, hung low on the carved window, and shone on people who were not sleepy. Mingyue shouldn't have any resentment against people, but why is it always round when people leave? There are joys and sorrows in life, and the full moon is always there. The moon is perfect when people want to get together. Such a good thing has never been satisfactory since ancient times. I only hope that the relatives in this world can live a long and healthy life, and even if they are thousands of miles apart, they can enjoy the moon.

Creative background:
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.
Appreciate:
This word is a work of appreciating the moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival, expressing the infinite yearning for my brother Su Zhe. Chen Bing lived in Xining in northern Song Shenzong for nine years (A.D. 1076). At that time, Su Shi was the prefect of Mizhou (now Zhucheng, Shandong Province). On the night of Mid-Autumn Festival, he enjoyed the moon and drank until dawn, pretending to be this song "Water Tune". The poet uses imagery to describe a kind of atmosphere in which Su Shi, a bright moon in the sky, travels thousands of miles, is aloof and broad-minded, and respects Confucianism and pays attention to practice all his life. However, he is also "good at Taoism". After middle age, he said that he would "return to Buddhism and become a monk", and he was often entangled in Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism. Whenever they are frustrated, Laozi and Zhuangzi's thoughts rise to help them explain the confusion of poverty and progress and retreat. In the fourth year of Xining (A.D. 107 1), in order to avoid the whirlpool of Bianjing political struggle, Hangzhou was awarded Kaifeng House. In the seventh year of Xining (AD 1074), Mizhou moved voluntarily, but it was still in a neglected position. Although there was a "rich face" at that time, it was quite a bit broad-minded, and it was difficult to hide the depression and anger in my heart. This Mid-Autumn Festival poem is the sublimation and summary of this sinister career experience. "Drunkenness" is the main factor, supplemented by "simultaneous pregnancy". For the author who has always adhered to the moral integrity of "respecting the master and benefiting the people", the separation and affair of brothers and sisters is, after all, a secondary ethical burden compared with the national conditions of worrying about the country and the people and invading the border. This point is deeply and subtly implied in the preface.
In the natural scenery, the moon is very romantic, and it is easy to stimulate people's artistic association. A crescent moon can be associated with new budding things; The full moon can be associated with a beautiful reunion life; The bright moon reminds people of an aboveboard personality. In the image of the moon, the infinite longing and ideal of human beings are condensed. Su Shi is a writer with bold personality and romantic temperament. When he looked up at the Mid-Autumn Moon, his thoughts and feelings seemed to have wings and fly freely between heaven and earth. Embodied in the text, it has formed a bold and free and easy style.
Looking at the moon in the film, the word is not only full of enthusiasm, but also practical and elegant. At first, I asked a question: When did the bright moon begin to exist? Ask heaven for wine. "To the details of the wine, similar to qu yuan's Tian Wen, li bai's" August 9 to the moon ". The obsession with questions and the escape from thinking do have similar essence and spiritual concentration. As far as creative motivation is concerned, Qu Yuan's Tian Wen is full of 170 questions. It was after he was exiled that he roamed the mountains and rivers and experienced the land. He saw "painting mountains and rivers and gods" and "strange performances of ancient saints" in the Temple of King Xian of Chu and the ancestral hall of Communist Youth, and then "asked questions" (Wang Yi's Preface) was the product of touching the scene. Li Bai's poem "Drinking asking for the moon" says: "My old friend Jia Chunling asked him. "This should also be improvisation. As mentioned in the preface, Su Shi's ci is a rhapsody after enjoying the moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival and drinking happily, and it is also a "work of artistic conception" (Wang Guowei's Ci Poems on Earth). Everyone has the characteristics of getting up suddenly and asking strange questions. Psychologically speaking, Qu Yuan was in a state of emotional ecstasy before he entered the temple of the former king (preface to Wang Yi's Songs of the South and Questions of Heaven), so he asked the sky, "seemingly stupid but not stupid, extremely angry and sad" (Seeking Truth with New Notes on Hu Chuci). Li Bai is "only willing to be a singer and a wine, and the moonlight shines on the golden urn" ("Drinking asking for the moon"), and the feeling of frustration in the aftermath is also audible. This word was written by Su Shi when he was invited to be Mizhou because he opposed Wang Anshi's new law during Chen Bing's reign. There is both a strong concern about the political situation of the imperial court and a complicated mood of looking forward to returning to Bianjing. Therefore, as soon as the Mid-Autumn Festival arrives, I am drunk and full of interest. The creative psychology of the three men is actually dark.
