"If the young don't work hard, the old ones will be sad"
Interpretation: If you don't work hard when you are young, it's useless to be sad when you study when you have white hair.
Remind us that we should cherish time and not waste it. If you don't cherish your time and work hard when you are young, you can only regret yourself and grieve in vain when you are old.
Grammar: used as object, attribute and clause; Used to advise people.
It is also used to warn us to work hard while we are still young, and not to achieve nothing when we are old, which will only leave us with sadness and regret.
The original poem of Long Songs:
The sunflower in the green 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 dewdrops rolling on the green leaves and shining in the morning sun, like a teenager full of youthful vitality. People spread from the vigorous growth of sunflower in the garden to 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 "the young and the young are deaf and sad, and the old 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?
The last epigram is powerful, deep and implicit, and deeply touches people's hearts, like Hong Zhong's ringing. 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.
