Original text Bingchen wrote this article on the occasion of the Mid-Autumn Festival, when she was drunk and drunk until the end of the day, and she was pregnant with her 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. Dance to figure out the shadow, how does it seem to be in the human world. Turn to the Zhuge (gé), the low Qi (qǐ) household, the light will make you sleepless. 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 When did the bright moon appear? (I) held the wine glass and asked the sky. I don’t know what year and day it is tonight in the palace of gods in the sky. (When will the bright moon come? Ask the sky for wine. I wonder what year it is in the palace in the sky?) I want to ride the breeze and return to the sky (it seems that I have come down from the sky to the earth, so I say "go back") (I I want to ride the wind back, but I am afraid that the beautiful moon palace made of jade cannot withstand the cold in the high altitude (legend has it that the palace in the middle of the moon is called Guanghan Palace). (I'm afraid it will be cold at high places.) In my imagination, I dance to the moon, and the clear shadow follows people, as if I am riding on the clouds and wind, being in the sky, how can it be compared to being in the world! (Dancing to clarify the shadow, how does it seem to be in the human world?) The moonlight turns from one side of the vermilion pavilion to the other, shining low on the windows, illuminating the sleepless people. (Turn to the Zhu Pavilion, low in the Qi household, shining without sleep.) The bright moon should not have any resentment towards people, but why does it have to be full and bright when relatives are leaving? (There should be no hatred, why should we always be reunited when we say goodbye?) People have changes in joys and sorrows, and the moon also has changes in clouds and sunshine. This kind of thing has been difficult to understand since ancient times. (People have joys and sorrows, separations and reunions, and the moon waxes and wanes. This has never been the case in ancient times.
) (I) I only wish that people can be safe and healthy, and enjoy the bright moonlight from thousands of miles away. (I wish you a long life, thousands of miles away from me.)
