Interpretation: The spring river tide is powerful and connected with the sea. A bright moon rises from the sea, as if it is gushing out together with the tide.
From "Moonlight Night on the Spring River" written by Zhang Ruoxu in the Tang Dynasty, the original poem excerpts are as follows:
The tide of the Spring River reaches the level of the sea, and the bright moon on the sea rises with the tide.
The twinkling waves follow the waves for thousands of miles, but there is no moon on the spring river!
The river flows round and round the meadow, and the moonlight shines on the flowers and forests like sleet;
The frost flies in the sky unknowingly, and the white sand on the terrace cannot be seen.
Vernacular interpretation: The spring river tide is powerful and connected with the sea. A bright moon rises from the sea, as if it is gushing out together with the tide. The moonlight shines on the Chunjiang River, shining thousands of miles along with the waves. There is a bright moonlight on the Chunjiang River everywhere! The river flows in twists and turns around the fields covered with flowers and grass, and the moonlight shines on the woods full of flowers like fine snow beads twinkling. The moonlight is like frost, so Shuangfei cannot notice it. The white sand on the island blends with the moonlight, making it difficult to see clearly.
