This gentleman is carefree, how can he expect mountains and rivers to be rustling?

At dawn, at dusk, my head is white and old.

The cold sword silently listens to the thunder, and the pike is independent and empty.

Lying drunk on the battlefield, you don't laugh, you honk the horn all night.

Evening guest Jiangnan, red rope knotted hair tip.

The author of this poem is the modern He Xiaodao, which comes from the book Dream of a Daughter with Ten Miles of Red Makeup.

Translation:

The hair grows to the waist. Will the general come back? In this life, a gentleman is free and unfettered, how can he expect mountains and rivers to be bleak? We meet at dawn and grow old together at sunset. The cold sword silently listens to the thunder, and the pike is independent and empty. Lying drunk on the battlefield, you don't laugh, you honk the horn all night. In the evening, I received a guest from Jiangnan and brought me a strand of my lover's hair tied with red rope.
