1. "The Great Wind and Rain on November 4th" - Lu You, Song Dynasty

Lying stiffly in the isolated village, I don't feel sorry for myself, but I still think about guarding the Luntai for the country.

I lie down at night listening to the wind and rain, and the iron horse glacier falls into my dream.

Translation: I lay upright in the lonely and desolate countryside, not feeling sad for my situation, but thinking about defending the country's borders. At the end of the night, I lay in bed and heard the sound of wind and rain, and dreamed vaguely that I was riding an armored horse across the frozen river.

2. "Long Song Xing" - Han Dynasty: Anonymous

The sunflowers in the green garden are waiting for the sun to set in the morning dew.

Budze in spring brings brilliance to all things.

I am often afraid that when the autumn festival comes, the yellow flowers and leaves will wither.

From the east to the sea, when will the rivers return to the west?

If a young man does not work hard, the old man will be miserable.

The sunflowers in the garden are lush and green, and the crystal dew is waiting for the sun to shine. Spring brings sunshine and rain to the earth, making all things lively and prosperous. I am often afraid that the chilling autumn will come, and the leaves will turn yellow and the grass will wither. Hundreds of rivers are rushing eastward to the sea. When can they return to the west again? If you don’t work hard when you are young and strong, it will be useless to be sad when you are old.

3. "About to Enter the Wine" - Tang Dynasty: Li Bai

If you are happy in life, you must enjoy yourself to the fullest, and do not let the golden bottle stand empty against the moon.

I am born with talents that will be useful, and I will come back after all my money has been spent.

When you are happy in life, you should enjoy the joy to the fullest, and don't let the golden cup face the bright moon empty without wine. God has created my talents, so they must be useful. Even if I spend a thousand taels of gold, I can get it again.

4. "Crossing the Lingding Ocean"——

Song Dynasty: Wen Tianxiang

After a hard encounter, only a few stars were scattered around.

The mountains and rivers are broken and the wind flutters, and the life experience is ups and downs.

Afraid to say panic on the beach, sigh alone in the ocean.

Who has never died since ancient times? Keep your loyalty to reflect history.

Translation: Looking back on my early years, I went through a lot of hardships from the imperial examination to become an official. Now, four hard years have passed since the war ended. The country is in danger like catkins in the strong wind, and the ups and downs of one's life are like duckweeds floating without roots in the rain, rising and sinking. The disastrous defeat at Panpantan makes me still panic to this day. It is a pity that I was trapped in Yuanlu alone in the ocean, and I have been helpless since then. Since ancient times, people are bound to die! If you can be loyal to your country, you will still be able to shine for thousands of years after your death and leave your name in history.

5. "The turtle has a long life" - Han Dynasty: Cao Cao

Although the turtle has a long life, it still has its time. A soaring snake rides on the mist, but ends up in ashes.

The old man is brave and ambitious. In his old age, the martyr is full of ambition.

The period of profit and contraction is not only in heaven; if you cultivate good fortune, you can gain eternal life.

Fortunately, I sing to express my ambition.

Translation: Although the turtle can live a long life, there is also a time when it will die. Although the tan snake can fly in the fog, it will eventually die and turn into ashes. The old horse lies in the stable, its ambition is still to be able to gallop a thousand miles.

When people with lofty ideals reach their old age, their ambition to make progress will not stop. The length of human life is not just determined by God. As long as you take good care of your body and mind, you can live longer. Ah, so lucky! Just use poetry to express your inner aspirations!
