> Moon, as a cognitive image, is shared by both Chinese and western people. Poets always place their emotions on moon no matter where he comes from. Thus, there are plenty  of  classical  poems  with  moon  have  been  handed  down  till  now.  Zhongguo Lidai Yongyue Shici Quanji（All Moon Chant in Chinese Previous Dynasties 中国历代咏月诗词全集）collects  thousands  of  poems  singing  of  moon  from  the  Shang dynasty to the Qing dynasty. Quan Tang Shi (The Complete Collection of Tang Poems全唐诗) contains nearly all the poems in Tang dynasty. According to this book, the most famous and talented poet Li Bai has written more than 1000 poems in which the poems  related  to  moon  occupy  one  third.  Comparatively,  English  poems  with  moon are much fewer, but still, “moon” is a popular poetic image beloved by western poets. Poets like Shelley, Keats and Dickinson have used the “moon” image many times. In  China,  “moon”  culture  has  a  long  history,  and  many  ancient  literary  works contain  the  “moon”  image.  A  plenty  of  ancient  poems  used  “moon”  as  topic,  artistic conception,  or  background.  From  Shijing  (Book  of  Songs 诗经)  numerous  Chinese poets  express  the  homesickness  or  lovesickness  by  singing  the  moon,  and  they  also sigh  with  their  sentimental  or  broad-minded  emotion.  The  moon  arouses  their aspiration  to  serve  the  country,  longing  for  home,  dreams  of  beautiful  life,  and imagination  of  the  universe.  “the  moon  in  China  carries  the  national  emotion”(Tian Zhangfu, 1992). Chinese poets regard moon as a media through which the feeling and the  thought  can  be  voiced.  The  best-known  poets  of  China---Li  Bai  drains  his loneliness  and  anguish  in  the  line  “Jubei  Yao  Mingyue,  Duiying  Cheng  Sanren”  (A toast to invite the moon, the shadow into three  举杯邀明月，对影成三人); Zhang Ji wrote down   the line “Yueluo Wuti Shuangmantian, Jiangfeng Yuhuo Duichoumian” (the  moon  is  gone,  the  crows  are  cawing  in  the  frosty  night,  only  the  maple  on  the bank and lights in the fishing smack accompany with sleepless me 月落乌啼霜满天，江枫渔火对愁眠) after he failing the imperial competitive examination and this line express  his  desolation  implicitly  and  skillfully.  Since  moon  has  a  never-failing implication,  there  are  lots  of  great  works  about  moon  in  poetic  circles.  Moon  passes down the emotions and culture through hundreds of years so that the descendants can talk to the predecessor and look for their soul.
