Both poems contain feelings and regrets about the passage of time. In Chen Ziang's Youzhou Tower, he wrote: "Where is the time that passed before me? Behind me, are the future generations? " , expressing the sigh that time is infinite and human life is limited. In this boundless time and space, people often feel small and powerless. Moreover, with the passage of time, people and things in the past will disappear in the long river of history, and everything in the future is full of uncertainty, so people often have regrets and meditation.
In his Miscellaneous Poems, Tao Yuanming warned us to cherish time, seize the day and don't waste it. Time is not like people. It has no feelings and will not wait for anyone. Instead, it is constantly passing away, so we must seize the time and cherish every minute to make them more valuable. This poem embodies Tao Yuanming's attention to time and also conveys his philosophy of life.
In short, these two verses lamenting the passage of time have their own characteristics, expressing the author's sigh and regret over the passage of time, as well as his appeal to cherish time and grasp life. They inspire us to cherish time, keep forging ahead, achieve ourselves and make life more valuable.
