The artistic conception of this sentence is particularly beautiful, and it reads like reciting a poem.

There are many famous sentences about cherishing time. Almost every sentence is beautiful, thought-provoking and worth remembering.

"Sages are not expensive, heavy yin, rare and easy to lose." ("Huai Nan Zi") The main idea is that saints do not value jade, but cherish every inch of time, because time is hard-won and easy to lose.

"If there is a gap between heaven and earth in life, it will be sudden." ("Zhuangzi") The main idea is that people live between heaven and earth, just like a fine horse passing through a gap, which is extremely short.

"absolute beauty, a day is difficult. Encourage in time, time waits for no one "(Tao Yuanming's Miscellaneous Poems) to the effect that after the prime of life, you can't start again, and it is difficult to fly back to dawn in one day. We should encourage ourselves in our prime. Time goes by and waits for no one.

"Heaven and earth have ages, and this body is not available; Life is only a hundred years, and this day is the easiest. " ("Caigen Tan") The general idea is: Heaven and earth will last forever, and people will die without resurrection; A person's life span is about 100 years at most, and a day passes easily.

"Dead trees will reappear in spring, and people will no longer be young." Dead trees can germinate again in spring, but life will not have two boyhood.

And we are familiar with it: "When will the hundred rivers return to the east and the sea to the west?" The boss will be sad if you don't work hard! "("Hanshu Long Songs ") The general idea is: When can a hundred rivers flow eastward into the sea and return to the west? If you don't work hard when you are young, it's no use being sad when you are old.

There is one thing we are more familiar with: "Don't you see how the water of the Yellow River left heaven and entered the ocean, never to return?". Have you noticed that in the bright mirror of the high room, lovely hair, though silky black in the morning, turns into snow at night? " (Li Bai's "Into the Wine") The main idea is: Didn't you see it? The water of the Yellow River seems to fall from the sky, and the waves roll straight into the East China Sea, never to return. Didn't see the mirror on the high hall, and deeply lamented the white hair? It's still green in the morning, but it becomes like snow at night.

And all of us will recite: "an inch of time is an inch of gold, and an inch of gold can't buy an inch of time." "(Augmented Xianwen), to the effect that an inch of time is worth an inch of gold, but an inch of gold cannot buy an inch of time.

Of course, the ancestors' aphorisms about the passage of time are not limited to these. It's good to memorize every sentence, but it's most important to really cherish every inch of time and make life more meaningful.

Don't you see that it takes hours to brush Tik Tok, WeChat and play games every day? If you can do something more meaningful in these few hours, such as spending time with your family, arranging some small trips, learning some useful knowledge to improve yourself and meeting friends, will it make your life different?

Time is fair to everyone, everyone's.
