Appreciation of the original translation of the ancient poem "Looking at the Moon, Thinking about a Far Away/Looking at the Moon" written on the Moon.

Looking at the bright moon, thinking about it/looking back at it.

Tang Dynasty: Zhang Jiuling

The bright moon is slowly becoming round at sea, and we share this moment from far away.

People who love hate long nights and sleepless nights and miss their loved ones.

Put out the candle to love this moonlit room, and I wander in the deep night dew in my clothes.

You can't have beautiful moonlight, just want to meet you in your dreams.

translate

A bright moon rises on the boundless sea, but you and I enjoy the moon together.

Affectionate people hate the long moonlit night and miss their loved ones all night.

Put out the candles and cherish the moonlight in the room. I wandered around in my clothes, feeling the cold at night.

I can't give you beautiful moonlight, I just hope to meet you in my sleep.

To annotate ...

Huaiyuan: I miss my relatives far away.

The first two sentences: a bright moon rises in the vast sea, reminding people of relatives and friends far away from the ends of the earth. At this moment, it's time to see the same bright moon. Xie Zhuang Yuefu: "Thousands of miles apart, there is a bright moon".

Lover: affectionate person, referring to the author himself; I'm talking about relatives Remote night: a long night. Complaining about the long night: complaining about insomnia due to parting, and even complaining about the long night. Night: The whole night is the whole night.

Unfortunately: love. Zi: Moisturize. Full of pity: cherish the moonlight in the room. Although I blew out the candle here, it was not dark. Obviously, according to the context, it should be a moonlit night, and it should be around the first15th day of the lunar calendar. At this time, the moonlight is bright. Even today, when you put out the oil lamp, you can still feel the beauty of the moonlight. When a person quietly enjoys the moonlight in the room, there is a feeling of "pity", just a feeling from the heart. When reading poetry, we must understand the poet's psychology at that time, so as to understand poetry. Full light is naturally full of moonlight, and "full" describes a state, which should be that moonlight shines directly into the room.

The last two sentences: Yue Hua is good, but it can't be given to each other. Might as well go back to sleep and find a good time. Lu Ji "When is the bright moon? : "There is afterglow in it, but it is not enough." Full hand: full hand means full hand. Surplus: full (refers to the state of fullness).

Make an appreciative comment

"Looking at the moon and thinking about the distance" is a poem that misses people far away on a moonlit night. It was written by the author when he was away from home, looking at the moon and missing his distant relatives.

The sentence "The moon is full of the sea" has a profound and broad artistic conception, which is a timeless good sentence. Famous sentences like Xie Lingyun's, such as "Spring grass grows in the pond", Xie Lingyun's "The bright moon shines on the snow", Xie Tiao's "The river flows day and night", and the author's own "A lonely swan flies from the sea" look unremarkable, without a strange word or a trace of color, but naturally there is an atmosphere of advanced harmony. This sentence is a complete scene, pointing out the "full moon" in the title.

The second sentence "brightens the whole heaven", that is, from the scene to the emotion, into the "Huaiyuan". Before that, there was Xie Zhuang Yuefu's "A Thousand Miles Away from the Moon", and after that, there was Su Shi's Mink Head's "I wish people would live a long time and a thousand miles away from the Moon". They are all famous sentences about the moon, and their intentions are basically the same. But because everyone's expression is different, so the genre of performance is also different. Xie Zhuang is Fu. These two sentences capture all the scenes of the poem together, but effortlessly, which is still the natural style of Zhang Jiuling when he wrote ancient poems.

"Love in Zhuan Xu" brings the separated heart and the long-term consideration of the night. Express feelings for friends far away. "Lover", a affectionate person, a person with long-term feelings. This refers to the poet's own "distant night", a long night. Unexpected evening, all night. The poet misses his friends far away, so that he can't sleep all night, and the whole courtyard is long and long.

Necklace "Although I blew out the candle, it didn't get dark, although I put on my coat, it didn't get warm." Following the couplet, it specifically depicts the situation of sleepless at night. "pity", pity. "Zi", wet. The poet wandered indoors. Blow out the candles and show more sympathy for the scattered silver moonlight. Wandering in the yard. The night is already deep, and I feel the dew wet my clothes. This vividly depicts the image of sleepless nights.

So I left my message to the moon and then turned to my bed, hoping to have a dream. This moonlight fills my heart, but how can I give it to you? Go to sleep! Sleeping may be able to meet you in your dreams. "The last straw" is a wonderful sentence with a quiet mood. I'm afraid I can't write without deep feelings and personal experience. Here, the poet secretly used the poem "the light of the earth and the machine has a afterglow, but not a surplus of hands", turning the old into the new, and slowly revealing his own thoughts. At this point, the poem came to an abrupt end, only to feel endless charm and memorable.

Extended Reading: Folklore of Zhang Jiuling's Anecdotal Allusions

There is also a story among the people: According to legend, Zhang Jiuling's mother, Lu Zaixing, was pregnant for ten months and has not given birth yet. His father saw that his wife was stout, yellow and weak, and suspected that she had jaundice. One day, I met an old gentleman who saw a doctor and told his fortune. After the diagnosis, the old man told Zhang Jiuling's father, "The fetus in the womb is an extraordinary person. Because this place is too small to hold, I'm afraid I have to be born in a big place. " After listening to Mr. Zhang's words, the Zhang family had to move to Shaozhou. And Zhang Jiuling is said to have been born there. But after Zhang Jiuling was born, he also returned to Shixing's hometown. The story of "Catching Rats to Solve the Imperial Court" circulated among the people in Shixing County comes from Zhang Jiuling's experience of studying in Shitang when he was young.
