Poem- Jing Ye Si By Li Bai


Translation:
So bright a gleam on the foot of my bed 
could  there have been a frost already
Lifting up my head to look, I found it was the moonlight
Sinking back again I thought suddenly of home.
This a small poem that used to be told to little children. It’s about someone who is about to go to bed  and  sees a moonlight and that moonlight reminds him of home it reminds him of his home. I know more about the culture by that, In the chinese culture moon, mostly full autumn moon means family reunion and celebration
