1, Thoughts on a Quiet Night by Li Bai in Tang Dynasty: so bright a gleam on the foot of my bed, could there have been a frost already?. I raise my head to gaze at the moon, Lowering my head, my nostalgia comes around.
This poem depicts a person in the Mid-Autumn Festival night, looking at the bright moonlight, thinking of distant hometown and relatives.

2. Su Shi's "Water Tune Song Tou" in Song Dynasty: When will there be a bright moon? I fetch the wine glass from afar. I don't know the palace in the sky. What year is it tonight? I would like to take the royal breeze back to the sky, and I am afraid that in the buildings of fine jade, it cannot withstand the cold of nine days. Dancing and enjoying the shadow of the moon, which is in the world. The moon turned scarlet pavilion, hung low on the carved windows, according to the sleepy self. The moon should not have any resentment against people, why is it that the people are only round when they leave? Men have sorrow and joy and they part and meet again. The moon dims or shines and it waxes or wanes. Nothing is perfect, not even in the old days. I hope people will live for a long time, and they will be beautiful for thousands of miles.
This poem depicts a drunken man expressing his feelings for the moon on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival. He asked when the moon would appear and asked the sky about the wine. He doesn't know what year the palace in the sky was built, and he doesn't know what year it is tonight. He wants to ride the wind back to the sky, but he is afraid of the cold at high places.
He wants to dance and play, but he feels better on earth. The moonlight turned the scarlet pavilion, passed through the carved doors and windows in a low voice, and shone on the insomniacs in the room. The moon should not have any resentment towards people, but why is it always round when people leave?
People are sad and happy, and the moon is full of rain or shine. This kind of thing has been difficult to complete since ancient times. I only hope that people can stay together for a long time, even if they are thousands of miles apart, they can enjoy the beautiful moonlight together. This poem expresses the poet's thoughts and feelings about the moon and life, and also expresses his good wishes to people.
