The moon sends me love, the moon expresses my meaning, and the moon often becomes the carrier of human thoughts and emotions, with rich meanings. In many Yongyue poems, poets have created many beautiful aesthetic conceptions, and raised the literary taste, ideological connotation and artistic attainment of the poems to a very high level.

Piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and songs, and drinking.

The four great tastes of the ancient literati were "piano, chess, calligraphy, and painting", also known as the "four friends of the literati".

1. Playing the piano as the first of the "four ya". Qin, generally referred to as guqin, also known as yaoqin, yuqin, and lyre, is one of the oldest plucked musical instruments in China. As early as "The Book of Songs: Xiaoya", there is:

The qin is drummed in the name of "Ota Zu", which means "the ancestor god who plays the strings and beats the drum to sound the earthquake and greet the agricultural work together". Playing the piano is also a skill that literati (including some famous ladies) must master for self-cultivation.

2. Chess, also known as a game, generally refers to playing Go. Ancient China can be said to be the originator of chess, and Go has a history of more than 4,000 years. According to the pre-Qin classic "Shiben", "Yao made Go, Danzhu Shanzhi" (Di Yao created Go, and Danzhu was very good at playing it).

The game tests people's active thinking and is deeply loved by ancient literati.

3. Calligraphy is a traditional art unique to China. Chinese characters were created by working people, and began to be recorded in pictures, and after thousands of years of development, they evolved into today's writing, and because the ancestors invented writing with a brush, calligraphy was produced. China gave birth to a large number of calligraphers such as Wang Xizhi and Wang Xianzhi, who were highly sought after by literati.

Fourth, painting "painting" refers to Chinese painting, which is generally painted on rice paper with water-soluble pigments with a brush, mainly depicting landscapes, utensils, flowers and birds, and people, with simple and bright tones and freehand abstract painting style. Literati painting pays attention to the charm and the taste of the brush, and the artistic conception is timeless and intriguing. There are four types of paintings, Yige, Godhead, Miaoge, and Nengge.

Painting is a medium for ancient literati to express their affection for landscapes.
