Lu Fang's poems: Peach blossoms cherish spring as if they are precious lives; those with ambitions cherish time as much as they cherish gold. Orioles are still afraid of flowers. Spring is old, how can we teach people to spend spring in vain? An inch of time is worth an inch of gold, and an inch of gold cannot buy an inch of time. It is difficult to buy February 8th with money, and it is difficult to buy youth with gold. Dead trees will grow again in spring, and people can never be young again. If so, Years are wasted, leaving regrets in the old days. The plan for a year lies in spring, and the plan for a day lies in morning.

Don't forget the wishes of others, and always think about dangers and hardships. It will be beneficial. A person who is weak in old age is not a boy, and one who does not seek knowledge is not a person with lofty ideals. The thing to fear in life is poverty, and ignorance is more despicable than poverty. .Black-haired people don’t know how to study hard early, and white-haired people regret studying late. Don’t envy the peaches and plums in three springs, and the sweet-scented osmanthus becomes real in autumn. Don’t be afraid that the world is far away, but there is a time when you are willing to shake the whip. You need to work hard to ride a horse ahead, don’t learn to be a dragon. Zhongxu sighed.

There are sunflowers in the garden, and the morning dew awaits the setting sun. The spring is full of beauty, and everything is shining.

Vernacular interpretation: Only when the stone is hit will there be sparks; if not hit, not even a little smoke will come out. The same is true for people. Only through learning can we master knowledge; if we don't learn, knowledge will not fall from the sky.
