When people sit together at night and enjoy the glorious moon，an ancient poem，Prelude to Water Melody，is often read for this occasion.Critics say it's probably the best poem about the Mid-Autumn Festival.Let's just focus on its most famous five lines to make some analysis.
   In the first two lines of the five，the writer is comparing the life of a man with the changing face of the moon.In Chinese culture the moon is always considered to be a perfect carrier of emotions like nostalgia（懷舊）ad longing for family reunion.A full moon symbolizes perfection and unity，while a gloomy night may remind people of their misfortunes.When the moon is round and fair but people are separated from their loved ones，such moments can be even more heartbreaking.
   Before the comparison，the poet actually complains about the seemingly "ruthless（無(wú)情的）" moon and asks her：You should have no spite（怨恨）against man，but why，when people part，are you often full and bright？However，he soon realizes that no one has an easy ride，just like the moon may not always be bright.The imperfections have been going on since the beginning of time.That's why he says "There has been nothing perfect since the olden days."
   But should we get bogged down（陷入）by the suffering of things with which we can't change？The poet gives his answer：Change your attitude and stay positive.So，we have his everlasting line，"_____." The poet hopes that people appreciate the fact that no matter where they are，as long as the ones they love and miss are healthy and happy，they can all admire the same moon high in the sky.
   To this day，people still use this verse to express their good will and wishes for family members and friends who can't be with them，especially during major festivals.
