Who was the first man to see the moon on the river bank? 

In what year did the moon first shine on man?

Human lives ceaselessly come and go, generation after generation,

but the moon and the river stay constant year after year.

I don’t know who the moon and the river are waiting for,

I only see the waters of the Yangtze flowing away.

Zhnag Ruoxu, Tang Dynasty poet.
