"When will the bright moon come? Ask the wine to the sky" comes from Su Shi's "Shui Diao Songtou: When will the bright moon come", and was not composed by Li Bai.
"Shui Tiao Ge Tou: When will the bright moon appear" Su Shi (Song Dynasty) Bingchen Mid-Autumn Festival, drinking happily until the end of the day, and getting drunk, wrote this article, and was pregnant with his son.
When will the bright moon appear?
Ask the sky for wine.
I don’t know what year it is today in the palace in the sky.
I want to ride the wind back home, but I'm afraid it's too cold in the high places.
Dancing clear shadow, like in the world.
(What is like? One word: when; and one word: fear. One word: Wei/Ling) Turning around the Zhu Pavilion, looking down at the Qihu, the light shines on the sleepless people.
There shouldn't be any hatred, so what's the point of saying goodbye?
People have joys and sorrows, separations and reunions, and the moon waxes and wanes. This is a difficult thing in ancient times.
I hope that people will live long and travel thousands of miles to meet Chanjuan.
Translation: During the Mid-Autumn Festival of the year Bingchen (AD 1076), I drank all night until dawn and became extremely drunk. I took the opportunity to write this article while expressing my nostalgia for my younger brother Ziyou.
When will there be a bright moon like the Mid-Autumn Festival?
I held my wine glass and asked the sky.
I don't know what day it is now in the palace where Gao Yao is above.
I wanted to use the wind to go back to the sky to have a look, but I was worried that the jade building was too high and I couldn't stand the cold.
I stood up and danced, admiring my clear shadow under the moonlight. The moon palace could not be as heart-warming as the fireworks on earth.
The moon moved, turned around the vermilion pavilion, and hung low on the carved windows, illuminating those who were not sleepy.
The bright moon shouldn't have any resentment towards people, but why does it always become full when people leave?
Life is full of joys and sorrows, and the moon often waxes and wanes. (The moon is also full when you want people to be reunited.) Such good things have been difficult to have both at the same time since ancient times.
I just hope that all the relatives in this world can be safe, healthy and live a long life, and that they can still enjoy the bright moon even if they are thousands of miles apart.
