The moon has other nicknames, such as jade plate, golden mirror, round spirit, Chanjuan, Jade Rabbit and laurel wheel.
1. Jade plate
Jade plate, originally referring to a crystal clear white plate, can also refer to the bright moon, which makes people feel very novel and interesting. Tang Li Bai's "Gulang Yuexing": "When I was young, I didn't know the moon, so I called it Bai Yupan. I also suspect that Yao Tai Jing is flying at the end of Qingyun Mountain. " This paper writes a child's very childish understanding of the moon, and uses "white jade plate" and "Yao Tai mirror" as metaphors to vividly show the shape and color of the moon and the bright and lovely moonlight.
2. Golden mirror
When there is a full moon, the poet compares the moon with something that looks like it. The golden mirror generally refers to the full moon. In ancient times, a bronze mirror was used to illuminate people, so the mirror was used to compare the moon. The full moon was bright and clean, just like a mirror. Tang Lihe's Tanabata mentioned that "there is a golden mirror in the sky and a jade hook in the world." Because the Qixi moon is not full, the cloud "divides the gold mirror", which means that you can't reunite with the woman you love.
3. Roundness
The part that is not bright at the beginning of the moon is called "spirit", which was later called the moon, and gradually formed another name with "spirit" as its basic language. A round moon. One of the most popular poems describing roundness is Mid-Autumn Night by Tang Zhangqiao. Knowing that thousands of miles away, there is no rain and wind? " A bright moon rises in the night sky, and it is said that every place is the same moonlight.
4. Chan Juan
Chan Juan first described a woman's beauty and charming form, because the moon is beautiful, bright and clean, and is regarded as a symbol of reunion, beauty, brightness and nobleness, and literati endowed the moon with this beautiful name with extremely rich imagination. I can't help but think of Song Su Shi's song "When will there be a bright moon?", in which "I hope people will live for a long time, and thousands of miles will be beautiful" has become a famous sentence throughout the ages, and it has also become the most poetic and beautiful blessing of Mid-Autumn Festival.
5. Jade Rabbit
The legendary Jade Rabbit is mainly responsible for mashing medicine in Guanghan Palace. It was recorded in Dong Escape in Han Yuefu in the pre-Qin Dynasty that "Jade Rabbit kneels and mashes toad pills".
6. laurel wheel
laurel wheel is because there is a laurel tree with a height of 5 feet in the legendary moon. In the Han Dynasty, there was a man named WU GANG, who was obsessed with fairy tales and didn't concentrate on his studies, and was banished to the moon to cut laurel. However, the laurel in the moon is cut and cut endlessly, so people in later generations can see the image of WU GANG cutting laurel endlessly.
