1. I advise you not to cherish your gold-threaded clothes; I advise you to cherish your youth. Flowers are ready to be broken when they bloom, but don’t wait to break branches when there are no flowers left. ——"Golden Threaded Clothes" by Du Qiuniang of the Tang Dynasty

Vernacular translation: Don't cherish glory and wealth, but cherish your youth. Just like the blooming flowers, they must be picked in time. If you don't pick them in time, you will have to break off the flower branches when the remaining flowers fall in spring.

2. Time is not reserved for young people. Hate Yoyo. When will you rest? When the catkins are flying and the flowers are falling, I climb up the stairs. The spring river is full of tears, endless flow, and a lot of sorrow. ——Qin Guan of the Song Dynasty, "Jiangchengzi·Xicheng Willows and Spring Softness"

Vernacular translation: The beautiful youth does not stay in youth, when will the bitterness of separation end? I went up to the balcony when catkins were flying and flowers were falling all over the ground. Even if the river water turns into tears, they can't flow away, and there is still sorrow in my heart.

3. You should indulge in alcohol while singing during the day. Youth is a good companion for returning home. ——Du Fu of the Tang Dynasty, "Wen Guanjun Takes Henan and Hebei"

Vernacular translation: I want to drink and sing, and go back to my hometown together in the spring.

4. It is easier for a young person to learn than to become an old man, so no time is wasted. ——Zhu Xi of the Song Dynasty, "Occasionally"

Vernacular translation: The days of youth are easy to pass away, but it is difficult to succeed in learning, so every inch of time must be cherished and not easily let go.

5. The pear blossoms are closed behind closed doors due to the rain, and they live up to their youth. ——Ming Dynasty Tang Yin's "A Cut of Plum Blossoms: The Rain Hits the Pear Blossoms Deeply Closed Door"

Vernacular Translation: Close the door deeply and only listen to the sound of the rain hitting the pear blossoms through the window. In this way, you have lived up to your youth and wasted your youth.
