"Today's people don't see Gu Yue" is actually saying that "today's people don't see the ancients"; "The ancients were illuminated this month" means "Gu Yue is still illuminated today". The bright moon is in the sky, but human beings have changed from generation to generation. Today, where can people be, before me, in the past? Behind me, where is the next generation? Precious life is fleeting.
"Today people don't see Gu Yue, and this month they are used to taking photos of the ancients." From Li Bai's Drinking for the Moon in the Tang Dynasty: original text.
When does the bright moon rise in the sky? I stopped my glass and asked now.
The moon will never reach the moon, but it is very close to the people.
Green smoke as bright as a mirror is flying in the palace, emitting cold light.
I only see the clouds rising from the sea every night, and who knows the clouds in the morning?
The moon is on the white rabbit's back, autumn and spring, and who is the neighbor of Chang's lonely life?
Now people are not seen in Gu Yue, but in this month they took the ancients.
The ancients said, if people are running water, they look at the bright moon.
Just look at the glass and sing loudly, and the moonlight can grow in a golden cup.
Vernacular translation
When will the bright moon be high in the blue sky? I stopped my cup and asked.
Man will never land on the moon, but the moon is very close to man.
As bright as a mirror, it soared to the palace, and the green smoke cleared away, giving off cold light.
You can only see it rising from the sea every night. Who knew it disappeared in the clouds in the morning?
In the moon, the white rabbit is tinkering with medicine from autumn to spring, so who is it to live with?
Now people can't see the ancient moon, but now the moon has shone on the ancients.
The ancients and present people passed by like running water, and so did the moon seen by * *.
I just hope that when I sing to the glass, the moonlight can shine in the golden cup for a long time.
Make an appreciative comment
This is a song about the moon written at the request of a friend. With bold and unrestrained brushwork, the poet described the lonely image of the bright moon in many ways and at many levels, and through the description of the sky and the sky and the lament of the passing of the world and the short life, he showed the author's broad-minded, elegant and chic personality.
There are sixteen sentences in the whole poem, and every four sentences rhyme. The eternal bright moon is a miracle in eternal time and space, which often causes infinite reverie of human beings. The first two sentences control the whole article with inverted sentences, and express the poet's confusion with interrogative sentences, which is very imposing. The poet stopped to have a cup of meditation, a little drunk, looked up at the sky and asked: When did this ancient moon exist? This search and confusion about the origin of the universe is actually a reflection and exploration of his own life value, and the word "stop drinking" vividly shows his yearning and confusion. Three or four sentences write the subtle relationship between human beings and the bright moon. Throughout the ages, how many people want to soar to the middle of the moon in order to live forever, but in vain, and the bright moon still shines on the world with the brilliance of Wan Li, accompanying people who have lived and multiplied for generations. The two sentences describing the personification of the bright moon are ruthless and affectionate, intimate and mysterious, and contain the poet's yearning and helpless complex state of mind. The words "as bright as the moon" describe the beauty of moonlight. The thick clouds gradually dispersed, and the moon hung in the sky like a mirror, scattering clear light and shining on the scarlet palace door. The poet used "flying mirror" as a metaphor, "Danque" and "green smoke" as a lining, and wrote the bright moonlight charming and dazzling. "But see" two sentences, use the bright moon to dawn the future and lament the speed of time passing. The bright moon rises in the East China Sea at night and disappears in the sea of clouds in the west at dawn. This cycle is endless, and the earth is derived from repeated hauntings. The two sentences not only express surprise at the elusive trace of the bright moon, but also imply deep regret that people don't know how to cherish the good times.
The poem "Chang 'e" is unconstrained and unconstrained, asking questions about the white rabbit and Chang 'e in the moon, which is the second time for the poet to ask questions about the moon. The white rabbit pounded the pestle in the middle of every month, and Chang 'e lived alone in the Moon Palace. Who will accompany her? In sympathy for the lonely fate of the gods and fairies, the poet's own lonely and lofty feelings are revealed. The phrase "modern man" expresses the sigh that life is limited and the universe is infinite in a sigh. "Today's people don't see Gu Yue" is actually saying that "today's people don't see the ancients"; This month, according to the ancients, it means "Gu Yue still shines today". The bright moon is in the sky, but human beings have changed from generation to generation. Today, where can people be, before me, in the past? Behind me, where is the next generation? Precious life is fleeting. The last four sentences are collected from the above, which further expresses the thoughts and feelings about the universe and life. Countless people have passed away like running water through the ages. Facing the same eternal moon in the sky, maybe they all had similar feelings! I only hope that when I sing and drink, the bright moonlight can shine in the cup for a long time, so that I can enjoy the wonderful life at present. Man is a reed, but he is a thinking reed. The poet thinks that the moon is long and life is short, and human beings can't change this natural law, so we should cherish every bit of this life and grasp the eternity of the moment. Although the conclusion implies carpe diem, the overall tone is still positive, showing the poet's broad-minded and adaptable mind.
The whole poem is full of unrestrained feelings, fluent and natural language, and full of intricate and round beauty. Poets write from wine to the moon and return to wine from the moon. He repeatedly compared the bright moon with life in a lyrical way like flowing clouds, and expressed his deep thinking about the universe and life philosophy in his subjective feelings of time and space.
