Xiao Ming used this poem to say that dad's beard is as long as weeds, and it will grow back after shaving.
Wildfire never devoured them, and they grew taller again in the spring breeze. This poem is from the Tang Dynasty poet Bai Juyi's Farewell to Ancient Grass. "Farewell to Cao Yuan" is an exam-oriented exercise, which is said to have been written by Bai Juyi when he was sixteen. Wildfire never completely burned them, and they grew taller in the spring breeze, which means that no matter how ruthlessly the fire burns, as long as the spring breeze blows, green weeds are everywhere, which vividly shows the tenacious vitality of weeds.
According to You Mao's Complete Poems of Tang Dynasty, Bai Juyi 16 years old went from Jiangnan to Chang 'an, and took his poems and songs to see Gu Kuang, a famous man at that time. Gu Kuang looked at the name and joked, "Chang 'an is expensive, but it's not easy to live in a big place. However, when I opened my book of poems and read "wildfire never quite consumes them, the spring breeze is blowing high" in this poem, I couldn't help exclaiming, "It's not easy to live in such a genius way! "Even the old-timers in the poetry world are impressed, which shows the high artistic attainments of this poem.
