The traditional writing of long songs is as shown in the figure:
Long Songs is a classical poem of China, belonging to the Han Yuefu poem, and it is a famous piece that exhorts the world to cherish the time and forge ahead. From the overall conception, this poem mainly means that the seasons change quickly and the time is gone forever, so it advises people to cherish their youth and make great efforts to make a difference. The whole poem expresses feelings with scenery, and makes sense from feelings. It entrusts the philosophy of life of "Young people don't work hard, but the oldest ones are sad" in vivid images such as morning dew is easy to dry, Qiu Lai leaves fall, and a hundred rivers go east. With the help of morning dew, flowers fall in Ye Qiu, and running water goes east and doesn't return, there is a sigh that time is fleeting and life is short, encouraging people to firmly grasp the life that flies with time and make efforts to take advantage of it. Its emotional tone is positive. Its main idea is embodied in the last two sentences, but the poet's thoughts are not simply expressed, but the concrete images rich in aesthetic feeling are extracted from the real world and taught in aesthetics.
Yuefu is a court musical organ established since the Qin Dynasty. It not only sings the poems of the literati, but also undertakes the task of collecting folk songs. During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, it was expanded on a large scale, and a large number of poems were collected from the people, with rich contents and a wide range of themes. This poem is one of Han Yuefu's poems. A long line of songs refers to a freestyle singing style with "long singing" as the tune.

Long Songs
Han Dynasty: Anonymous
The sunflower in Qingqing Garden is exposed to the sun.
in the spring, everything is brilliant.
I'm always afraid that the autumn festival will come, and the yellow flowers will wither.
when will a hundred rivers go east to the sea and return to the west?
if the young don't work hard, the old will be sad!
This is a song about life. Singing life starts from the sunflower in the garden, which is called "supporting things to arouse interest" in writing, that is, "saying other things first to cause the words to be sung" In the spring morning, the sunflower in the garden is slim and graceful, with dew rolling on the green leaves and shining in the morning sun, like a teenager full of youthful vitality. The poet extended it from the vigorous growth of sunflower in the garden and wrote about the whole nature. Because of the sunshine and rain in spring, everything is shining with the brilliance of life, and there are full of vitality and prosperity everywhere. These four sentences, literally, are a tribute to spring, but in fact, they are compared with people by borrowing things, and they are a hymn to the most precious thing in life-youth. Life is full of youthful vitality, just as spring is beautiful all the year round. In this way, it also has metaphorical meaning in writing, that is, the so-called "Xing and Bi".
The time sequence of nature is constantly changing. In a blink of an eye, Qiu Lai is in spring, and the sunflower and everything in the garden have experienced spring growth and summer growth. In autumn, they mature, and the once bright leaves turn brown and withered, losing their vitality. Life is the same, growing up from youth, and dying of old age has to go through a metabolic process. This is an immutable law of nature. The poet used "always afraid of the autumn festival" to express his fleeting treasure of "youth", and one of the words "fear" showed that people were powerless to the laws of nature and the youth was inevitable to wither. Then it is associated with the endless time and infinite space of the universe from the change of time series. Time is like a river that dies in the east and never returns. Judging by the time scale, human life can't be revived after old age. In the face of this eternal nature, isn't life like the morning dew on the leaves, which is dried at the sight of the sun? Isn't it like a green sunflower leaf, which withers in the autumn wind? Poetry turns from exploring the universe to thinking about the value of life, and finally comes to the conclusion that "young people don't work hard, old disciples are sad", ending the whole poem. This reasoning process is not written literally, but readers can follow the trajectory of the poet's thinking and make up for it with their own life experiences: everything in nature has a process of blooming flowers and fruiting in autumn, and life also has a process of young people working hard and achieving success in old age; Everything in nature can bear fruit in autumn as long as there is sunshine and rain, but people are different, and they can't succeed without their own efforts; Everything declines in autumn, but it realizes the value of life, so it is not sad; People, on the other hand, are not successful because they are young and don't work hard. Doesn't it mean taking a trip to the world in vain? Mobilizing readers to think is undoubtedly better than replacing readers to think. It is precisely because of this that this poem avoids the life sermon that is easy to be boring, and makes the final epigram appear vigorous, profound and implicit, like Hong Zhong's resounding, which deeply touched the readers' hearts. The word "ACTS" at the end of the sentence is meaningful: First, it is said that the boss has accomplished nothing, and life is equal to waste; Second, it will not help to wake up when you are old, but you can't help it, which is intended to emphasize the need to work hard in time.
reading this poem, we will naturally think of the famous saying about how people should spend their lives in How Steel is Tempered. "People's most precious thing is life. Everyone has only one life. Therefore, a person's life should be spent like this: when he looks back on the years that have passed, he will not regret wasting his time, nor will he be ashamed of having accomplished nothing; In this way, when he is about to die, he can say frankly: I have devoted my whole life and all my energy to the most magnificent cause in the world-the struggle for the liberation of mankind. It is undoubtedly positive to guide readers to work hard in time and not to idle away their time.
This is a famous poem of Yuefu in Han Dynasty. A series of metaphors are used in the poem to illustrate that we should cherish time and work hard as soon as possible. The first four sentences of the poem describe a beautiful spring scene to us. There is dew on the green sunflower in the garden. After the sunrise, the dew is dried and the sunflower is bathed in sunshine. Everything in the world is blessed by the rain and dew of nature in spring, and shines with incomparable brilliance. However, when autumn comes, they will lose their bright luster and become yellow and fading. Everything has ups and downs, and people also have a process from adolescence to old age. Time, like the water of a big river, has been flowing eastward into the sea and gone forever. If we don't cherish time and work hard when we are young, we will only be sad in vain when we are old!
