A Research into the Explanation of Character“Bed” in Li Bai's Poem Quiet Night Thoughts

Quiet Night Thoughts is a famous poem of Li Bai.Many research workers and poem readers consider that the first line of this poem means“I see the moonlight before my bed”.It is better to translate this line into “I see the moonlight around the well railings”.A few similar examples taken from ancient poems and Ci-poems can prove it.To distinguish two different meanings does not mean that one is right and the other is wrong.The virtuous see virtue and the wise see wisdoms.Poems are often explained with different views.Therefore, the explanation of “sleeping bed”and the explanation of “well railings”will exist simultaneously.
