2. The attached original text is as follows:
Ask asking for the moon about wine, an old friend Jia Chunling.
Tang Li Bai
When does the bright moon rise in the sky? I stopped my glass and asked now.
The moon will never reach the moon, but it is very close to the people.
Green smoke as bright as a mirror is flying in the palace, emitting cold light.
I only see the clouds rising from the sea every night, and who knows the clouds in the morning?
The moon is on the white rabbit's back, autumn and spring, and who is the neighbor of Chang's lonely life?
Now people are not seen in Gu Yue, but in this month they took the ancients.
The ancients said, if people are running water, they look at the bright moon.
Just look at the glass and sing loudly, and the moonlight can grow in a golden cup.

When will the bright moon be high in the blue sky? I stopped my cup and asked.
Man will never land on the moon, but the moon is very close to man.
As bright as a mirror, it soared to the palace, and the green smoke cleared away, giving off cold light.
You can only see it rising from the sea every night. Who knew it disappeared in the clouds in the morning?
In the moon, the white rabbit is tinkering with medicine from autumn to spring, so who is it to live with?
Now people can't see the ancient moon, but now the moon has shone on the ancients.
The ancients and present people passed by like running water, and so did the moon seen by * *.
I just hope that when I sing to the glass, the moonlight can shine in the golden cup for a long time.
Third, the creative background:
It is difficult to date this poem. According to the annotation under the heading "Drinking asking for the moon", this poem was written by the author at the request of a friend. Some people think that it was written in the third year of Tianbao in Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty (744).
