Not long after dinner, a bright moon appeared in the sky above the Qiong Sea. The moon that night was very round and bright. The four friends happened to be out for a walk at this time. When they saw the moonlight, they discussed going to the tea garden to admire the moon.
They came to the seaside tea garden and saw that the environment here was elegant. It was surrounded by mountains and rivers, so they immediately felt refreshed and comfortable. After entering the tea garden, the four of them found a place to sit. They then asked for a few cups of hot tea, so everyone drank tea and chatted.
Looking at the bright moon in the blue sky, Zi Qiang couldn't help but sigh. He said to Ya Juan,""Oh! Ya Juan, tonight the moon is so clear, it reminds me of a poem.”
"Is that so?" Ya Juan's interest was piqued, and she immediately smiled,""Have you composed another poem? Alright! Ziqiang, since that's the case, why don't you recite it for us to appreciate?”
" Oh, oh, that's right," Ziqiang quickly added,""This poem is Cao Xueqin's, not mine. Yajuan, if you've read 'Dream of the Red Chamber', you should know.”
"Yo! Is that so?" Ya Juan became even more excited and said with a smile,""That, that must have something to do with the moon, right? I saw you looking up at the blue sky, deep in thought, so I can guess a little. En, but that's true. The poems and songs in 'Dream of the Red Chamber' are extremely well written. Tell me, Ziqiang, which one do you think of?”
So Ziqiang sipped his tea and said,"Well, Yajuan, do you still remember Zhen Shiyin and Jia Yucun?" The two of them were drinking under the moon, unable to restrain their wild excitement. Jia Yucun then immersed himself in the moon and wrote a poem on the spot.”
" Oh," Ya Juan immediately remembered and said,""I understand. It's that quatrain, right? The artistic conception of that poem in the first chapter is very beautiful. Can you tell me about it?”
Zi Qiang nodded in agreement and recited the poem,""Every three or five days, they gather together, and the jade railings are full of clear light. A wheel in the sky was held out, and all the people in the world looked up.”
After Zi Qiang finished chanting, he heard Ya Juan laugh. Her laughter was very pleasant to the ear, like a silver bell, causing Zi Qiang's soul to flutter. He looked at her deeply with infatuation and heard her say,"Yes, yes, this is it. This is indeed a good poem. It's very wonderful. Ziqiang, your memory is really good. I didn't expect it! I didn't expect you to be able to recite it."
She also looked at him deeply and pondered for a while. Suddenly, she said something and smiled,"Yes, but if it's just the moon, I think I prefer those Tang poems.”
"Is that so?" At this moment, Ziqiang was even more excited. He continued,"Then can you give some examples? The poems of the Tang and Song Dynasties are very popular, and I like them too. There are quite a few poems that describe the moon.”
"Alright, alright, alright!" Therefore, Ya Juan spoke with confidence and immediately smiled.""Then let me give you a few examples. For example, Zhang Jiuling's "Looking at the Moon and Huaiyuan" was very emotional.'The bright moon rises on the sea, and the world is at this time. Lovers complain about the distant night, competing to get up at night to miss each other.'Du Fu's "Journey to the Night Book" also wrote: 'The breeze blows on the shore in the fine grass, and I sail alone at night on the dangerous mast. The stars hang down on the flat fields, and the moon surges in the river.'And Wang Wei's "Autumn Dusk in the Mountains" wrote: " After the rain, the weather is late and autumn is coming. The bright moon shines among the pine trees, and the clear spring flows up the stone.'Besides, Zhang Ruoxu's was even more interesting, and that was " Moonlit Night on the Spring River "! This poem had a total of thirty-six lines, and it was written in such a way that the feelings and scenes blended together. The first eight lines were written,'The spring river's tide reaches the sea level, and the bright moon rises on the sea. Yan Yan with the waves thousands of miles, where the spring river is not bright. The river twists and turns around Fangdian, and the moonlight shines on the flowers and forests like graupel. The frost in the air flies unconsciously, and the white sand on the pavilion cannot be seen.'These poems are all about the moon. The mood is beautiful. I believe you are familiar with it.”
After hearing what Ya Juan said, Ziqiang felt more comfortable. He looked deeply into her eyes and said,""Yes, that's right. I'm familiar with these works. However, Yajuan, you didn't mention Li Bai. You also know Li Bai. He loves the moon the most. His works have the most beautiful rhythms. I've read more of them.”
"Oh! Is that so?" Yajuan smiled gently at him and suggested that he talk about it. Hence, Zi Qiang agreed and smiled,""Li Bai is a poet of his generation. He is elegant and elegant. Just look at his works when he was young and you will know that he is very romantic.”
Ya Juan looked up at the bright moon and suddenly remembered a poem. She said,""I think of his poems too, oh! There was a piece of work that had an extremely rich imagination. The poem read like a nursery rhyme: 'When I was young, I didn't know the moon. I called it a white jade plate. I also suspect that the mirror of Yaotai is flying at the end of the blue cloud.'That's really creative."
Zi Qiang's enthusiasm soared after hearing this, and he continued,"Yes, yes, that's right. I've long been familiar with this poem. Li Bai is the best at writing about the moon and has many works. Now I'll say a few.”Then, he began to list some examples and said,"For example, the 'Moon Song of Mount Emei' says: " The moon in Mount Emei is half full of autumn, and its shadow flows into the Pingqiang River.'The first two lines of "Drinking to Ask the Moon" are: "When will the moon come in the blue sky? I will stop drinking today and ask.'In the Moon of the Mountains, he wrote,'The bright moon rises from the Heavenly Mountain, amidst the boundless sea of clouds. The wind blew for tens of thousands of miles, blowing across the Jade Gate Pass.'And his Drinking Alone Under the Moon wrote: 'A pot of wine among the flowers, drinking alone without friends. I raise my cup to invite the moon, and the shadow becomes three people.'This poem had a total of 14 lines, and it was even more catchy when read.”
Ya Juan listened attentively to him, her eyes full of respect. "Oh, there's a rumor that's even stranger, or maybe it's true." I once read a short article that mentioned Li Bai's obsession with the moon. It was even more unbelievable that his death was related to the moon.”
Ya Juan didn't know about this rumor, so she asked Zi Qiang to tell her about it. "The article says,'Li Bai was on a boat quarrying stones in the river. He was proud and contented. He died when he got drunk and went into the water to catch the moon.'Because of this, a platform was built there, and someone painted Li Bai's Painting of Catching the Moon and wrote a poem: " I found a fishing boat on the cold river, and the moon is in the sky in the heart of the river. The world can not tolerate such an old man, painting often see the water fairy.'This legend was really interesting! I do believe you a little." As soon as Zi Qiang finished speaking, Ya Juan and her sister couldn't help but laugh.
While Ziqiang and Ya Juan were talking about poetry, Xu Tianming sat at the side and did not speak. At this moment, he was thinking about something, and his eyes were constantly sizing up Ya Juan. She thought to herself," Yajuan is really too beautiful. Her bright eyes are full of love, watery, and full of honey. It makes people feel ecstasy after seeing her." She was so lively and cute, full of the youthful elegance of a young girl.”He thought about the scene at the beach during the day. Even though she didn't say anything, he could tell that she trusted him very much. She didn't reject his pursuit. From this point of view, there was still hope for him to get together with her.
Xu Tianming looked at Ziqiang again and saw that he was talking non-stop about poetry, so he thought,"Will Liang Yajuan like him? I can see that they are so close. Ziqiang definitely loves her very much. Just based on his enthusiasm, this meaning is very obvious. Hmph, no wonder he became so annoyed when I mentioned loving Mu Yajuan last time by the river. It turns out that he had his own thoughts!”He turned around to peek at Ya Juan again and thought,""Ignore him. Although Zi Qiang and I are friends, how can I give in to him? Liang Yajuan was so beautiful, who wouldn't want her? If Liu Ziqiang wanted it, I would want it too. That would depend on who had the ability. Liu Ziqiang, you don't have as many opportunities as I do. I don't want to give up so easily.”
Xu Tianming was thinking about it when he suddenly heard Ya Qiong ask him,""Hey, hey, Tianming, why don't you say anything? What are you thinking about? The moon is so beautiful tonight. Don't you have the mood?”
Tianming was startled for a moment before shifting his gaze over. He smiled awkwardly and said,"Haha, Ya Qiong, why are you asking this? I don't know much about poetry, and I haven't studied it, so it's not convenient for me to talk about it.”
Just as Ya Qiong was about to reply, she saw that he was ignoring her again. He slowly turned his head away and became calm, but his eyes were peeping at Ya Juan. Ya Juan also heard him speak and said that she didn't understand poetry, so she turned around and smiled at him. At this moment, the two of them just happened to look at each other. Xu Tianming became excited. He had a feeling of ecstasy and was overjoyed, so he complimented Ya Juan.
"Oh! However, Yajuan, you are different. Your knowledge is comprehensive and good at both literature and science. Of course, you are very good at speaking! Yajuan is talented and outstanding. I really admire you!”
"Haha, is that so?" Ya Juan laughed and said humbly,""Tianming, why are you praising me again? What's so comprehensive about me? Actually, the liberal arts students are better. This is true. Liu Ziqiang is good at music and has the most literary talent. I really can't compare to him in this aspect.”
Tianming had nothing to say after hearing this, but Ziqiang became anxious and continued,"Oh! No, no, where? Yajuan, why did you say that? You're too modest. Why can't you compare to me? Xu Tianming spoke the truth, and I agree with him. Liang Yajuan, you have excellent quality and the most taste. If I were to look at it from all aspects, how could I dare to compare with you?”
Ya Juan was in a very pleasant mood. She smiled coquettishly, her cheeks glowing with the red light of a rose. "Sigh! Forget it, seeing the two of you praising me like this, what should I say? I don't know what to say."
In fact, when Tianming and Ziqiang praised her, Ya Juan was also very conflicted. She thought of what happened in the bathing place and found it even harder to calm down. That's right! If she had to make a choice, who was more suitable for her? Liu Ziqiang was gentle and refined, pure and childish. He was really very cute. Xu Tianming was elegant, experienced, and mature. He was not inferior to Ziqiang. Both of them had their own strengths and were interested in her. What should she do about this? If he really had to choose one, how would the other person feel? She really didn't dare to think about it anymore and sighed."Sigh! Forget it. Tonight was such a beautiful night. He should be happy and not think too much about it.”She looked up at the full moon and returned to the topic of poetry…
That night, Liu Ziqiang could not guess what Yajuan and Tianming were thinking. Although he had vaguely seen that Xu Tianming had improper thoughts, he believed that Liang Yajuan would not let him down. He talked to her so enthusiastically, especially when it came to literature. He was really full of confidence. He believed that literature was his forte, and he had long felt that Ya Juan had a special appreciation for him. Since Tianming was inferior to him, how could Yajuan not weigh the pros and cons? Because of this, Zi Qiang was even less guarded. He didn't know that his good friend was secretly plotting something.
In fact, from this day on, Xu Tianming had made up his mind to compete. What he did during the day was just the beginning. He was planning to catch up with Yajuan on this trip because he had completely guessed the girl's thoughts. His attention to her had been shown in night school, and she had never been disgusted. She was always so gentle and affectionate. He could see that Ya Juan still favored him. Although Xu Tianming didn't talk much about admiring the moon that night, he understood that he still had an absolute advantage in wooing Ya Juan. He had already thought it through and had thought of all the steps. Xu Tianming looked forward to the arrival of tomorrow. He really wanted to wait until dawn. This unbearable night! He could not wait any longer. So, after they chatted until midnight, he took the initiative to remind everyone that it was time to go back to the hotel to rest…
