"The fifteenth night of the first month" Tang Su Weidao

Silver flowers as shining Lanterns on trees blaze, This very night the bridge towards bright stars opens.

The crowd surged, the dust float in the sky under the hoofs of the horses; Moonlight all over every corner, where people can see the moon overhead.

The singers in the moonlight shadow, dressed up and made up, sang " the plum blossom" on one side.

The capital has been abolished, and the timing of the jade leakage you do not rush, mo let this year only once the lantern festival night in a hurry.

Translation:

The lights are scattered, and the depths of the garden reflect bright light, just like delicate flowers; Because it is accessible everywhere, the iron lock of the city gate has also been opened.

The crowd is surging and the dust is flying under the horseshoe; Moonlight shines everywhere, and people can see the bright moon everywhere.

In the moonlight, the geisha are beautifully dressed and make-up, while walking, singing "Plum Blossoms Fall".

The city has cancelled the night ban, so don't be in a hurry when the timing is leaking. Don't let the Lantern Festival, which is only once a year, pass in a hurry.

Notes:

(1) the fire tree and silver flowers: a metaphor for brilliant lights and fireworks. Especially the lantern scene of Shangyuan Festival. This sentence has a great influence on later generations.

② Xingjin Bridge: Xingjin Bridge, one of the Third Tianjin Bridges, "Luoshui runs through the capital, like Xinghan", or referred to as Tianjin Third Bridge here. "Luoyang, the east capital, flows through Shangyang Gongnan from the west, and flows to the outside of the imperial city. It is divided into three roads, with bridges on each side, Xingjin Bridge in the south, Tianjin Bridge in the middle and ecliptic Bridge in the north. During the Kaiyuan period, Tianjin Bridge was rebuilt, Xingjin Bridge was destroyed, and the second bridge was merged into one.

3 iron lock open: metaphor for the opening of the capital. There were curfews in the capitals of the Tang Dynasty, but on the 15th day of the first month, the curfews were lifted, and the iron locks on the Tianjin Bridge, Xingjin Bridge and Huangdao Bridge, which connected the Lifang District on the south bank of Luoshui and the Forbidden Garden in Luobei, were opened for ordinary people to pass.
