Three spring flowers are good for you, so you must start studying early. When flowers bloom and fall, life gets old easily.
——"Cherishing Time"
The sunflowers in the green garden are waiting for the sun to set in the morning dew. In the spring of Budeze, all things will be radiant. I am often afraid that when the autumn festival comes, the leaves of the yellow flowers will wither. Hundreds of rivers flow from the east to the sea, when will they return to the west? If a young man does not work hard, the old man will be miserable.
——"Long Song Xing"
Yesterday repeats yesterday, how good yesterday was! I'm just upset today. People in the world only know that they regret yesterday, but they don’t realize that today has passed. The water flows away day by day, and the flowers fade away day by day. Establish a successful career today, don't wait until tomorrow to regret the present.
——"Yesterday"
Today again, today is so little! If you don't do it today, what's wrong with this? It is a pity that today is not the day of a hundred years of life! If Yangu waits for the arrival of the Ming Dynasty, there will be Ming Dynasty affairs in the Ming Dynasty. I will compose today's poem for you. Please start working hard today.
——Wen Jia's "Today's Poems"
Tomorrow comes tomorrow, there are so many tomorrows! If I wait for tomorrow, everything will be wasted. Everyone in the world is tired of tomorrow, as spring passes and autumn comes, old age is approaching. Look at the water flowing eastward in the morning, and the sun setting in the west at dusk. What will happen to tomorrow after a hundred years? Please listen to my song tomorrow.
——Wen Jia's "Tomorrow's Song"
The lights are on at three o'clock and the chickens are on at five o'clock, which is when men are studying. Black-haired people don't know how to study hard early, and white-haired people regret reading poems late.
——Yan Zhenqing's "Encouraging Learning"
I advise you not to cherish your gold-threaded clothes, and I advise you to cherish your youth.
Pick the flowers as soon as they bloom; don’t wait until the flowers have fallen.
——Du Qiuniang's "Golden Threaded Clothes"
It is easy for a young man to learn but hard for him to grow old, and an inch of time cannot be taken lightly.
I haven’t realized the dream of spring grass in the pond, but the phoenix leaves in front of the steps have already sounded in autumn.
——Zhu Xi
The prime years will never come again, and it will be difficult for one day to rise again.
Be encouraged in time, time waits for no one.
——Tao Yuanming
Don’t wait any longer. The young man’s head will turn gray, and it will be so sad!
——Yue Fei
The flowers will bloom again, and no one will be young again.
——Guan Hanqing
A hundred gold can buy a fine horse, a thousand gold can buy a beauty, ten thousand gold can buy a high noble, but where can you buy youth?
——Qu Fu
An inch of time is worth an inch of gold, but an inch of gold cannot buy an inch of time.
——"Zeng Guang Xian Wen"
Sail against the current with all your strength, and your strength will retreat thousands of miles away after a pole is loosened.
It is a pity for Gu Yun to live this day, but we should cherish the next few seconds even more.
——Dong Biwu's "Cherish Time"
