I. Original text

Life is easy to get old, but it is hard to get old.

Today is Chongyang, and the yellow flowers in the battlefield are particularly fragrant.

The annual autumn wind is not as strong as spring.

Better than spring, just like Wan Li frost on the vast river.

Second, translation.

How easy it is to get old in a person's life, but the Double Ninth Festival occurs every year. Today is the Double Ninth Festival, and the chrysanthemums on the battlefield smell good. The autumn wind blows hard year after year, not the glory of spring. But it is better than spring, and there is endless autumn frost on the boundless Tingjiang River.

This word was written on 1929 Chung Yeung Festival (10,1). At this time, it has been two years since the autumn harvest uprising led by Mao Zedong. At this stage, Mao Zedong is not comfortable. At that time, Mao Zedong was upstairs in Linjiang, Shanghang County for illness. The Double Ninth Festival is coming, and the yellow flowers in the yard are blooming like scattered gold. Mao Zedong's dream and reality changed again, so he coined this word.
