1. Orthodoxy should not be ashamed to be passed down through the ages, and do not judge success or failure in three parts.

"Wuhou Temple" Ming Dynasty: Anonymous

The spring water of Jianjiang River is green, and the original head of the five feet is said to be Youyue. The old business failed to return to the later owner, and the big star has already fallen behind the former army.

Nanyang Temple is filled with autumn grass, and Xishuguan Mountain is separated by dusk clouds. Orthodoxy should not be ashamed to be passed down through the ages, and do not judge success or failure in three parts.

Interpretation:

The spring water of Jianjiang River is turbulent and clear; the sun in Wuzhangyuan has only its shadow. The original foundation has not yet been controlled by Liu Chan, the superstar has fallen, and you have died of illness in the military camp. In the Nanyang Ancestral Hall, only withered yellow autumn grass remains; in the Xishuguan Mountain, it is also shrouded in dusk clouds. The orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty has not been continued, and its reputation has been passed down through the ages. Do not list the heroes of the Three Kingdoms in terms of success and failure.

2. Success or failure has been difficult to describe in ancient times, but now I regret my mistakes.

"Recalling Qin'e·Chunbo" Song Dynasty: Liu Kezhuang

Chunbo, in the dream I was chasing a horse like yesterday. As bold as yesterday. The moon shines brightly on the flute, and Xiaohan blows the horn.

Success or failure has always been elusive, but now I regret my mistakes. It was wrong at that time, the iron coat was still there, and it was too heavy to bear.

Interpretation:

After being slightly drunk on spring wine, I fell into sleep. In the dream, he was galloping with the soldiers again, quarreling with each other; he seemed to have returned to the military camp, hearing the melodious sound of the flute under the bright moon and the loud sound of the horn in the cold dawn. It is difficult to describe success or failure in words in ancient times. If you had continued to stay in the army, it is difficult to say that there would be no hope of achieving meritorious service.

3. Thousands of years of success and failure are all in the dust, disappearing into the world and talking about a husband.

"Two Poems of Jinling Station. Part 2" Song Dynasty: Wen Tianxiang

The picture of Jin Ou losing its strength for thousands of miles, and his clothes turned upside down and stained in the mud. Du Yusheng was bleeding in the air, and Lilong's beard was half removed.

As I grow old, the autumn wind blows my evil spirits, and I dream back to the cold moon, which shines on me alone. Thousands of years of success and failure are all in the dust, disappearing into the world like a husband.

Interpretation:

The country was lost because there was no grand plan. Even Emperor Deyou bowed to the foreigners and became vassal, just like falling into the mud from the sky. Deyou has become the king of the country. Even if the cuckoo cries until the corner of his mouth bleeds, he will be homeless. The little emperor also died an untimely death.

I am getting old, and the autumn wind makes me feel bad. When I wake up from my dream, the cold moon shines on the lonely person. In the long history, temporary success or failure is nothing. What deserves the most attention is to be praised as a man.

4. It doesn’t matter who’s family prospers or loses, it’s still fun to chat with people in the back alleys.

"Sheep on the Hillside·Tao Qing" Yuan Dynasty: Song Dynasty Square Pot

The green mountains treat each other, the white clouds love each other, and the purple robe and golden belt cannot be dreamed of. A thatched cottage with wild flowers blooming. It doesn't matter who's house prospers or falls, who succeeds or fails, it's still a joy to have a scoop in a back alley. If you are poor, your spirit will not change; if you are rich, your ambition will not change.

Interpretation:

I love the green mountains and want to be with them; I love the white clouds and want to be with them. I never dreamed of wearing a purple robe and a gold belt. As long as there is a thatched hut with wild flowers blooming all around, it doesn't matter which family prospers or which family declines. I am quite happy living a poor life. When you are poor, your backbone is not lost; when you are rich, your ambition is not changed.

5. Right or wrong, success or failure will turn around in vain. The green hills are still there, and the sunset turns red several times.

"Linjiang Immortal·The Rolling Water of the Yangtze River Passes East" Ming Dynasty: Yang Shen

The rolling water of the Yangtze River passes east, and the waves wash away the heroes. Right and wrong, success or failure turn around in vain. The green hills are still there, and the sunset turns red several times.

The white-haired fisherman and woodcutter on the Nagisa River are used to watching the autumn moon and spring breeze. Happy reunion over a pot of wine. Many things in ancient and modern times are all talked about with laughter.

Interpretation:

As the Yangtze River rolls eastwards, many heroes disappear like flying waves. Regardless of right and wrong, success or failure (the achievements of heroes of ancient and modern times), it is all in vain until now, and has disappeared with the passage of time. The green mountains (jiangshan) of those days still exist, and the sun still rises and sets.

The white-haired hermit by the river has long been used to seeing the changes of time. It was a rare meeting with an old friend, and I enjoyed a glass of wine. Many things throughout the ages have been reflected in (people's) talk and laughter.
