When such a bright line was at the foot of my bed, Li Bai saw it. ............................................................................................................................................................................ With such a bright line at the foot of my bed, Li Bai saw (the bright moon in the sky) and his (hometown), which was to look up and forget that the bright moon was sinking back, and I suddenly thought of home.

Thoughts in the dead of night

The foot of my bed is shining so brightly. Is there frost already?

I looked up at the moon and looked down, feeling nostalgic.

Vernacular translation

The moonlight in front of the bed is bright, like a frost on the ground.

Look up at the bright moon in the sky and overlook my hometown.

Li Bai's Thoughts on a Quiet Night was written in Yangzhou Inn on September 15th, the 14th year of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty (726). Li Bai was twenty-six years old. At the same time, there is also a song "Autumn Night Travel" which was also done in the same place. On a night with few stars, the poet looked up at the bright moon in the sky and was homesick. He wrote this famous poem "Thoughts on a Quiet Night", which will be read down through the ages.
