What are the sentences about "total solar eclipse" in The Book of Songs?

Xiaoya at the Turn of October is a poem describing the total solar eclipse in The Book of Songs.

The poem about "total solar eclipse" is as follows:

At the turn of October, the new moon shines high. It is ugly to have food every day.

The moon is very small, and this day is also very small; Today, the people are also very sad.

The sun and the moon tell you that you don't have to do this. The four countries have no politics, so there is no need to be good.

If you eat it every month, it will be normal; Eat this day, why not hide.

Translation:

It was October, and the first day was Xin Mao. A sudden solar eclipse in the sky is a dangerous signal. In the past, the solar eclipse was dim, but today it is dark. Now, like all the people in the world, the impending disaster is sad.

The eclipse is ominous, so don't follow the routine. It's all because there is no good governance and talents are useless. There have been eclipses at ordinary times, and I'm used to it. Now the solar eclipse has appeared again, lamenting the heavy losses.

The solar eclipse, commonly known as "Tiangou eats the sun", is due to the fact that when the moon runs between the earth and the sun and the three are in a straight line, the solar eclipse area on the earth blocks the sun in the sky.

Because the moon seen by people on the earth is its dark side, the moon does not shine, so the "Tiangou" is black.

During the eclipse, the movement of the moon plays an important role in the change of the relative position between the sun and the moon. Every eclipse, the moon always enters from the western edge of the sun's visual plane, gradually blocks the sun, and finally moves out from the east.

Legend of solar eclipse: Ten Days of Dog

One of Sakyamuni's ten disciples is Mulian, who is very filial to his mother, but Mulian's mother is violent by nature. When the Jade Emperor in the sky knew about it, he sent Manglietia's mother to eighteen levels of hell and turned her into a vicious dog, which could never be reborn. ?

Mulian practiced day and night and became a Tibetan bodhisattva. In order to save his mother, he opened the door of hell with Zhang Xi, and Mu Lian's mother and all the evil spirits escaped from hell. After escaping from hell, Mulian's mother turned into a vicious dog and fled to heaven to settle accounts with the Jade Emperor.

She couldn't find the jade emperor in the sky, so she chased the sun and the moon, trying to swallow them and turn heaven and earth into a dark world. Folks call it "Tengu eats the sun" and "Tengu eats the moon".
