Two songs in Bailudong, the first one.
Concentrate on reading, I know that spring has passed, and every inch of time is as precious as an inch of gold.
It is not Taoism that mocks, but the teachings of Duke Zhou are devoted to the study of Confucius.
translate
Concentrate on reading, and spring will pass before you know it.
An inch of time is an inch of gold.
If I hadn't been interrupted by the admiring jokes of passers-by,
I am deeply studying the essence and teachings of Duke Zhou and Confucius.
The first narrative. "It's late spring to study", saying that I concentrate on my studies, and before I know it, spring will soon pass. "Deep spring" refers to the late spring. As can be seen from this poem, the poet concentrates on reading, is nervous and full every day, and completely forgets the time. Spring is almost over, which was suddenly discovered by the poet inadvertently. This discovery surprised the poet and made him feel a lot. He feels that time flies too fast and there is always not enough time to learn a lot of knowledge. The second sentence is the feeling of the poet. "One inch of time and one inch of gold" means a very short time. Here gold is used to describe time, which means that time is precious and should be cherished. This is the first time that the poet described the emotion aroused by nature, and it is also an immortal motto left by the poet to future generations. For thousands of years, people, especially scholars, have been encouraged to cherish time, pay attention to knowledge accumulation and constantly enrich themselves.
Three or four narratives to supplement my own discovery of the "deep spring" because "the Taoist laughs." "Taoist" refers to the Taoist in Bailudong. "Laughing" refers to teasing and joking. Taoist priests can endure loneliness and calm down during meditation, but poets need Taoist priests to "make them laugh" before they are willing to relax. This shows that the poet's concentration in reading is extraordinary. No, when the Taoist priest arrived, the poet was deeply studying the essence and teachings of Duke Zhou and Confucius. Zhou Qing Sikong refers to the Confucian classics read by ancient scholars.
Judging from the poet's reading life, the poet is a person who cherishes time like gold and devotes himself to learning. Future generations should be inspired and educated. Knowledge is accumulated by time. In order to enrich ourselves, we should cherish time very much.
