When will the moon be there
Sung by: Faye Wong
Composed by: Liang Hongzhi
Lyrics: Su Shi
When will the moon be there?
Turning to the Zhu Pavilion, lowering to the Cherry House
There is no sleep, there should not be hate
What is the matter of the long time to the round, people have sadness and happiness
The moon has its shade and roundness, this matter can not be complete
But I wish that the people are long, thousands of miles of **** Canyuan Juan
Expanded Information: "A Few Moments in the Bright Moon," from Su Shi's Song of Water and Songs - When will the bright moon be there? This poem was written in 1076 A.D. when the author was in Mizhou during the mid-autumn of the ninth year of Emperor Xining of the Song Dynasty. The preface before the poem explains the process of writing the poem: "In the mid-autumn of the year bingchen, I was drunk for a long time. I wrote this piece, and also remembered Ziyu." Su Shi, because of his political differences with Wang Anshi and others who were in power to change the law, asked for his own exile, and moved from place to place as an official. He once asked to be transferred to an official position closer to Su Zhe in order to have more brotherly gatherings. In 1074 AD (the seventh year of Xining), Su Shi was sent to Mizhou. After arriving in Mizhou, this wish was still not realized. In the Mid-Autumn Festival of 1076 A.D., the moon was in the sky, and the silver glow was all over the place, and the lyricist had not been reunited with his brother Su Zhe for seven years after they parted ways. At this moment, the words face a round of bright moon, the heart fluctuates, so take the wine is full of excitement, wield the pen to write this famous piece.
