1. Time flies by and cannot be retained, and the stars on the temples are already tweezed.
From "Nian Nujiao·I Come to Niuzhu" written by Wu Yuan in the Song Dynasty
I came to Niuzhu, chatting and overlooking, and being a guest with a wide open mind. Whoever chooses this dangerous pavilion will be able to separate the past and the present from all sorrow. The river is full of whales, the mountains are full of tigers, and the dangers are natural and not man-made. There have always been boats and ships that have swept away millions of Hu Jie.
The memory shines brightly like a rhinoceros, a man should be like this, a hero. Time flies by and cannot be retained, and the stars on the temples have become tweezers. The clouds are darkening the river and the sky, and the smoke is dimming the Huaihe River. It is the season of soul-breaking. The railings were beaten to pieces, and the drunken madness was full of loyalty and anger.
Interpretation:
I visited Niuzhu Mountain, climbed up and looked into the distance, and suddenly I felt open-minded. The tall Ranxi Pavilion stands here, taking away the sadness of many people who have visited it throughout the ages. The river beside Caishiji is rushing and rolling like a giant whale, and the rocks on the shore are like tigers coiled apart. The terrain is dangerous, and it is actually a natural barrier to stop the enemy.
It was here that our warships completely defeated the invading Jin soldiers and won a great victory. The famous general Wen Qiao at that time put down Su Jun's rebellion and made many military exploits. He once burned rhinoceros and illuminated water in Niuzhuji.
Today’s good men should be like him in order to be considered heroes. Time flies by, and in a blink of an eye, the hair on the temples has turned gray, and the hair on the temples has grown again. Today, I was leaning on the railing and standing still, and I saw clouds and fog on the river, making it dark and sad. I drank to drown my sorrows, and when I was drunk I smashed the railings to pieces, venting all my loyalty and anger.
2. The prime years will never come again, and the morning will never come again.
From "Miscellaneous Poems" by Tao Yuanming of the Wei and Jin Dynasties
Life has no roots, floating like dust on the road. Scattered and turned around by the wind, this is no longer the case.
We are brothers, why should we be close by flesh and blood! Have fun and have fun, fight and drink with your neighbors.
The prime years will never come again, and the morning will never come again. Be encouraged in time, time waits for no one.
Interpretation:
Life in this world is like a tree without roots, a flower without a pedicle, and like dust blowing in the wind on the road. Life moves with the wind, life has gone through many hardships, and people are no longer what they were originally. Everyone who comes into this world should be brothers, so why should we care about flesh and blood ties? When you encounter something pleasant, you should have fun. If you have wine, invite your neighbors to drink together.
Once the beautiful years of youth have passed, they will never come back again, and you will never see the second sunrise in a day. You should encourage yourself to work hard when you are young and strong. Time passes by and does not wait for others.
3. There are only a few hundred years in life. Think of the good times and beautiful scenery, and let go of the past.
From Jin Chaoyuan Haowen's "Sudden Rain Beats the New Lotuses"
The green leaves are dense, and the ponds, pavilions and water pavilions are all over the place, but it is much cooler. The pomegranates have just begun to bloom, with clusters of red flowers.
The old swallows are chatting with their young, and the tall willows are singing in harmony with the cicadas. After the showers, the pearls were scattered all over the new lotuses.
There are only a few hundred years in life. Think of the good times and beautiful scenery, and let go of the past. If you can't get through the predetermined situation, there is no need to worry about it.
I ordered my friends to invite guests to enjoy the feast, and drank softly from the fragrant bottles and sang softly. Even if he is drunk, let him have two rounds of the sun and the moon, coming and going like a shuttle.
Interpretation:
It is the coolest place with lush green leaves and dense shade. The pond is full of water pavilions. The pomegranate flowers have just bloomed, and they are enchanting and beautiful, emitting a fragrant fragrance. Old Yan was carrying Xiao Yan, chattering, and there were cicadas chirping on the tall willow branches. The showers came in an instant, scattering like pearls, hitting new lotuses all over the pond.
How long can life last? Thinking about the good time and beautiful scenery, it feels like you have just had a dream. The quality of your destiny is determined by your previous life, so why bother yourself. Invite guests and friends to play, drink and sing, get drunk for a while, and let the sun and the moon rotate, and come and go like a shuttle.
4. As time goes by, many people grow old easily. Although the world is full of sorrows and difficulties.
From "The River is Red: Prince Teng's Pavilion in Yuzhang" by Wu Qian of the Song Dynasty
The west wind from thousands of miles blows me up to the Pavilion of Prince Teng. Outside the main threshold, the clouds are rising in Chushan Mountain and the waves in Chujiang River are rising. Wherever the sailing wood ends, sometimes wild birds fall by the sand. Close to the curtain hook, the dusk rain covers the sky, today is still like yesterday. ?
Autumn is getting closer and closer, and more and more people are leaving. The sky is far away, hurting the wandering. Sighing on the worries of ten years, rest for a while. Time passes and many people grow old easily. Although the world is full of sorrows and difficulties. Farewell to the dusk, the souls of the guests disappear, at the corner of the city.
Interpretation:
The west wind of thousands of miles helped me climb to the Tengwang Pavilion, the waves of the Chu River started, and the clouds rolled. From a distance, it looks like a boat sailing past the treetops, and sometimes waterbirds fly down by the sand. It's rainy at night, just like in the Tang Dynasty.
As autumn approaches, I feel sad. I lament the ups and downs of officialdom for ten years, and have been laid off many times to live in the countryside. Alas, forget it, let’s not talk about it. The world is so big, but there is no place for me to stay.
5. Every year comes gray hair and new ones, and spring will come again in a hurry.
From Yu Qian's "Reminiscing on the Beginning of Spring" in the Ming Dynasty
Every year comes with gray hair, and spring will come again in a hurry. Is Guanhedi a guest? Time is ruthless and cannot lend money to anyone.
One inch of loyalty to serve the country, two lines of clear tears to miss family members. It's hard to entertain myself when I'm lonely and intense, and I have a golden plate full of five toxins.
Interpretation:
Year after year, white hair keeps growing, and in the rush of military affairs, another spring comes. Why did you keep me at the frontier for so long? Time is too ruthless, and age is never forgiving. I never forget that I am loyal to my motherland, and I can’t help but burst into tears when I think of honoring my relatives. The feeling of loneliness was too exciting to be dismissed, so I made a five-sin dish to celebrate the New Year.
