摘要：The Mid-Yuan Festival returns, autumn wind cools,

中元节夜思

Thoughts on the Night of the Zhongyuan Festival

中元又至秋风凉，

透牖轻寒惹神伤。

The Mid-Yuan Festival returns, autumn wind cools,

Through the window, a slight chill stirs the soul.

青春渐随岁月逝，

慈颜反映心眸详。

Youth fades with the passing years,

A kind face reflected clearly in the heart's eye.

教诲谆谆铭肺腑，

恩泽历历刻胸膛。

Earnest teachings engraved deep within,

Graces vivid, carved upon the chest.

始悟寻常团圆贵，

方知平淡滋味长。

Now I realize the value of ordinary reunions,

And understand the enduring taste of simplicity.

缕缕青烟寄幽思，

默默祈愿付穹苍。

Wisp after wisp of smoke carries silent thoughts,

Quiet prayers entrusted to the vast sky.

此夕遥祭情愈重，

来日更惜眼前光。

This night, remote mourning deepens affection,

In days to come, cherish more the light before us.
