The sad square dance of the moon

I have seen such a picture: In the bleak and deep background, in the dark eyes at night, a round of Leng Yue alone scatters a faint moonlight on the earth. The place where the moon shines is a rolling mountain. The silver moonlight shines on the dark mountain, but it won't make people feel uncoordinated. Instead, it rises from their hearts, and it is a touch of sadness and desolation.

This painting is Guan Shanyue by Chu Ge.

As long as I can remember, the moon, or moonlight, seems to be synonymous with sadness. In ancient history and legends, it seems that there are also sad stories such as the Goddess Chang'e flying to the moon, but now, in poetry and painting, sad moonlight fills every corner. However, is the moon really lonely?

There must be someone, right? In that beautiful painting, even I was amazed by the lonely and sad moonlight, the bright moonlight as silver. However, is that the real moonlight? Is moonlight really what we call sad' water in the sky'?

As night fell, a bright moon rose slowly. I watched her silently throw the bright moonlight into the dark earth, and the clouds covered her expression. She is lonely! But she still shines with less than one tenth of the bright sunshine energy, even when ancient people fantasize about Chang 'e, even when modern people paint her a bleak picture. At this moment, I again remind of Guan Shanyue. The moon in the painting is so helpless, sad and desolate, so different and similar to the moon in front of me. Also, in countless other paintings, this feeling is the same. From that moment on, I suddenly understood the mood of the moon, the moon, she is not sad! Perhaps because of her indifference and loneliness, people only see a silver' aloof' figure. For thousands of years, people have pinned their love and worries on her, thus making her existence like sadness.

In fact, what is really sad is the person who painted the moon!

The moon just shines silently, scattering gentle moonlight like water, soothing people's hearts. In the dark night, it was the moon that comforted people who were homesick and worried about their country, and made people draw the moon with the idea of sending things and feelings. In fact, the moon is as gentle as that night, but it is not sad. The same is true of Guan Shanyue, Reflections on the Quiet Moon and other paintings about the moon. Sad people will only draw the sad moon with sad emotions.

So, please don't say how sad the moon is. Look at her with a calm heart, and you will find that the moon dancing in the clouds is quietly smiling at you, gentle as water.
