Original text:
Don't hate it. It's only been three years. Reunion, mutual affection remains the same. I'm already in China. In the meantime, it is hard to say how much hatred there is. In the secluded place of the small court, chrysanthemums are dotted. It's almost dawn and the moon is already beautiful. Mom's body is outside. He had a fight before. May flowers grow well, people grow healthy and the moon grow round.
Translation:
Parting has a lot of sadness, and there are only a handful of them. It has been three years. When we meet again, our mutual affection is still very strong. Your sideburns have just turned white, but I have white hair. During the parting, there was too much hatred to be expressed in words. Small courtyard, deep railings, chrysanthemums are beautiful. Near a clear night, the moon is round and bright. Don't think about anything else, take a cup to drink for the time being. I hope flowers will always look good, people will always be healthy and the moon will always be so bright.

Creative background:
"I wish to spend a good full moon, and people are good at full moon", and the feeling of reunion of old friends is written between the lines. These three sentences are a pause in the text, expressing the author's good wishes for personnel and nature. Flowers are not red for a hundred days, but the moon is only full for one night. Moreover, it is not uncommon for flowers to be blown by the wind and the full moon to be covered by clouds. This is the case in nature, and there are more mistakes and regrets in the world. It is extremely rare to spend a full moon and get together. Therefore, when the chrysanthemums are in full bloom, the Mid-Autumn Festival is complete, and the old friends meet again, the poet can't help but send out sincere prayers!
Su Shi's "Young Beauty": "Holding a cup to persuade the horizon to be bright, may the bright moon be exhausted. After holding a cup, I advised the flowering branches to stay where they are. Chao's "Wei Chi Cup" said: "How can spring be as old as the sky and teach flowers to go with the moon? Wang Shen's Night of the Full Moon: "Every year on this night, lanterns are hung high, when the moon is full. "These words and expressions are approximate expressions of the same feelings and wishes, and they can be used for reference.
Dongpo "people have joys and sorrows, and the moon is full of rain and shine." It was difficult to accomplish in ancient times. I hope that people will live for a long time. The word "thousands of miles away" is the second best after realizing the absolute imperfection of natural personnel, and the relative perfection is said to be comfort; Chao's "May flowers are long, people are healthy, and the moon is long and round" is painful to the imperfection of natural personnel, and even more enthusiastic about the vision of perfection; Comparing the two, Chao Ci's thought of benefiting the people may not be as good as others, but it is too warm.
