    今年的中秋节马上就要到了。我在这里祝所有生活在国外的中国人 中秋节快乐!中秋节是中国第二个重要的传统节日,一般来说这一天家人们会团聚。中秋节是在农历的八月十五日,每个月的农历十五号是月亮最圆的一天,所以在中秋节你会听到看到很多关于月亮的事情。比如说:吃月饼,晚上散步赏月,讲月亮上的一些传说故事。今天我为大家带来一首有月亮的古诗,这首诗叫《静夜思》,是唐代诗人李白在26岁的时候写的。那时候李白住在扬州的旅店,一天晚上他看着天空中的月亮,想念自己的家乡和家人,写下了这首诗。

    静夜思( Jìnɡ yè sī)
    唐 李白( Tánɡ Lǐ Bái)
    床前明月光,( chuánɡ qián mínɡ yuè ɡuānɡ ,)
    疑是地上霜。( yí shì dì shànɡ shuānɡ 。)
    举头望明月,( jǔ tóu wànɡ mínɡ yuè ,)
    低头思故乡。( dī tóu sī ɡù xiānɡ 。)
