Refers to the moon.

Qianli ***Chan (chán) Juan (juān): I just hope that the two of you will be safe every year, and that even though they are thousands of miles apart, they can still enjoy the beautiful moonlight together.

It comes from "Shui Diao Ge Tou: When will the bright moon come", which was written by Su Shi, a great writer in the Song Dynasty, during the Mid-Autumn Festival in 1076 AD (the ninth year of Xining, Emperor Shenzong of the Song Dynasty) in Mizhou (now Zhucheng City, Shandong Province).

?The whole poem is as follows: When will the bright moon come?

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.

(Long Xiang 1: Bias) The translation is as follows: When did the bright moon begin?

I held my wine glass and asked the sky.

I don’t know what year it is tonight in the palace in the sky.

I wanted to rely on the wind to go back to the sky to have a look, but I was worried that the buildings made of beautiful jade were too high and I couldn't stand the cold.

I stood up and danced, admiring my clear shadow under the moonlight. There was no place in the moon palace compared to the human world.

The moon turned around the vermilion pavilion and hung low on the window, illuminating myself who was not sleepy.

The bright moon shouldn't have any resentment towards people, but why does it always become full when people leave?

People have changes in joys and sorrows, and the moon has changes in waxing and waning. This matter has been difficult to understand since ancient times.

I hope people can stay together for a long time and enjoy this beautiful moon together even if they are thousands of miles apart.

Extended information: This poem was written by the author when he was in Mizhou during the Mid-Autumn Festival in 1076 AD (the ninth year of Xining, Shenzong of the Song Dynasty).

The small preface before the words explains the process of writing the words: "Bingchen Mid-Autumn Festival, drinking happily until the end of the year, and getting drunk. I wrote this article because I was pregnant with my son." Because Su Shi had different political views from Wang Anshi, the reformer in power, and others, he asked for help.

Fang, moved around as an official.

He once asked to be transferred to a place closer to Su Che as an official so that his brothers could gather together more often.

In 1074 AD (the seventh year of Xining), Su Shi sent a mission to Mizhou.

After arriving in Michigan, this wish still could not be realized.

In the Mid-Autumn Festival of 1076 AD, the bright moon was in the sky and silver lights were everywhere. The poet and his brother Su Che had not been reunited for seven years after they separated.

At this moment, the poet faced a bright moon, his heart was ups and downs, so he took advantage of the wine and wrote this famous poem.
