From the Tang dynasty Li Bai's "357 words", the original text is:
The autumn wind is clear and the autumn moon is bright.
When the fallen leaves are scattered, the habitat in western Western jackdaw is full of surprises.
Acacia knows when to meet, and this night is embarrassing.
Translation:
The autumn wind is clear and the autumn moon is bright.
When the leaves in the wind gather and disperse, the western Western jackdaw has already inhabited and was awakened by the bright moon.
Friends are looking forward to meeting each other, but I don't know when, at this time, on such a night, the dream of lovesickness is hard to come true.

About the author:
Li Bai (70 1 -762), whose real name is Taibai, also known as "purple laity" and "fallen fairy", was a great romantic poet in the Tang Dynasty, and was praised as "poetic fairy" by later generations, and was also called "Du Li" with Du Fu. In order to distinguish himself from two other poets, Li Shangyin and Du Mu, that is, "Little Du Li", Du Fu and Li Bai merged again.
According to New Tang Book, Li Bai is cheerful and generous, loves to drink and write poems, and likes to make friends. He was deeply influenced by Huang Lao's thought of starting a family, and most of his poems were written when he was drunk. His representative works include Looking at Lushan Waterfall, it is hard to go, Difficult Road to Shu, Entering Wine, Liang, The First Building of Baidicheng, etc. Li Bai's ci and fu have high pioneering significance and artistic achievements.
