Under what circumstances was Su Shi s water tune song head completed?

This poem was written by the author of the Mid-Autumn Festival in the ninth year of the Song Dynasty when he was in Mizhou. During this period, Su Shi sought to be released because of his political differences with Wang Anshi, the law changer in power, and became an official in various places. He once asked to be transferred to a place closer to Su Zhe as an official, so that his brothers would have more gatherings.

After arriving in Michigan, this wish was still not realized. This year's Mid-Autumn Festival, the bright moon was in the sky, the silver glow was everywhere, and after separating from his brother Su Zhe, it had not been reunited for seven years in the blink of an eye. At this moment, the lyricist faced a bright moon, and his heart fluctuated, so he took advantage of the wine and wrote this famous poem with a pen.

The small preface before the words explains the process of writing the words: "Bingchen Mid-Autumn Festival, drinking for a long time, drunk, making this article, and conceiving a child." Obviously, this poem reflects the author's complex and contradictory thoughts and feelings.

On the one hand, it shows that the author had great political ambitions, and although he was 41 years old at the time, and he was in Mizhou, far away from Kyoto, he was politically unhappy, but he was still full of confidence in reality and ideals. On the other hand, due to political frustration and the inability to realize ideals, talents cannot be displayed, and thus a strong dissatisfaction with reality arises, which breeds negative thoughts and feelings of escapism from the world. However, it is the love of life and the positive optimism that runs through the words.

Su Shi's water tune song head is divided into upper and lower films.

The upper film is made by looking at the moon and drinking wine.

"Water Tune Song Head" vernacular text:

I raised my glass and asked the sky: When did the bright moon in the sky begin? At that time, Su Shi was demoted to a magistrate, and he drank and drank to relax.

The last film was made in Su Shi's house, sleeping in bed and looking at the moon.

"Water Tune Song Head" vernacular text:

Late at night, I returned to the house, and watched quietly as the moonlight slowly turned over the scarlet pavilion, slid through the delicate little window, and shone on me, a man who had no sleep. 』

At that time, Su Shi had been separated from his younger brother for a long time and missed his younger brother.

It was made by Su Shi when he was demoted to the deputy envoy of the Huangzhou regiment. Due to personal circumstances, political ambitions could not be realized, and the majestic and heroic works created in the face of adversity.

When will there be [Song Dynasty] Su Shi.

Bingchen Mid-Autumn Festival, drinking Dadan, drunk, making this article, and conceiving a child.

When is the bright moon? Ask the sky for wine. I don't know what year it is in the heavenly palace. I want to go back by the wind, but I am afraid of Qionglou Yuyu, and the high place is unbearable.

Dancing to figure out the shadow, how does it seem to be in the world? (What is like a work: when; I am afraid of it: but I am afraid).

Turn Zhu Pavilion, low Qihu, shine sleeplessly. There should be no hatred, what is the long time to say goodbye? People have joys and sorrows, and the moon is cloudy and sunny, and this matter is difficult to complete. I hope that people will last a long time, and they will be covered by thousands of miles. (Long direction: bias).

Translation:

On the Mid-Autumn Festival in the year of Bingchen (1076 AD), he happily drank until dawn, got drunk, wrote this poem, and also missed his younger brother Su Zhe.

When did the bright moon first appear? I took the glass and asked the heavens. I don't know what year the heavenly palace is tonight.

I wanted to go back to the sky with the strength of the wind to have a look, but I was worried that the jade building was too high for me to withstand the cold. Get up and dance and enjoy your clear shadow in the moonlight, the Moon Palace** is comparable to being in the world.

Yue'er turned the vermilion pavilion and hung low on the window, shining on her sleepless self. Mingyue shouldn't have any resentment towards people, but why is it always round when people leave? People have joys and sorrows, and the moon has the transition of cloudy and sunny days, which has been difficult to consider since ancient times.

I hope that people can be together for a long time, even if they are thousands of miles apart, and they can enjoy this beautiful moon together.
