Full text:

Life has no roots, floating like a stranger on the dust.

it's unusual to disperse and follow the wind.

landing is a brother, so why be flesh and blood!

having fun is a pleasure, and drinking is a way to get close to each other.

if you don't come back in your prime, it's hard to get up in the morning.

encourage in time, and time waits for no man.

Translation:

Life has no roots in this world, and it floats like dust on the road.

Life has gone with the wind, and this body has gone through hardships, and it is not what it used to be.

The whole world should be treated as brothers, so why should our own brothers be blind date?

when you are happy, you should have fun. If you have wine, you should invite your neighbors to drink it.

once youth is gone, it is impossible to return, and you will never see the next day in one day.

You should encourage yourself when you are in the prime of your life. Time goes by and waits for no one.

Poems about time:

1. Tide

Author of Tang Dynasty: Bai Juyi

The early tide comes only at night, and it flows sixty times a week.

It's not just that time keeps changing, but Hangzhou is getting old and urged by the tide.

Interpretation: The early tide falls and the late tide comes, and it flows 6 times a week. It's not just that time is changing, Hangzhou is getting old and being urged by the tide. In the face of Qiantang River, Bai Lao's poet couldn't help feeling that the universe is infinite and his life time is limited. "Hangzhou's old age is urged by the tide" is the best expression of Bai Juyi's feelings for the sunset and buried by the coming night.

2.

Author of Tang Dynasty: Du Qiuniang

Advise you not to cherish the golden clothes, and advise you to cherish your youth.

bloom can be folded straight, so don't wait for no flowers to break branches.

Interpretation: This poem is not the best in art, but it does not appeal to a man, and it can be recited and passed on. Poetry can be understood as cherishing yin, and it can also be understood as traveling to the east in time, but the theme seems to be to persuade people to make progress in time, and not to "white the head of a teenager and be sad."

3.

Encourage Learning

Author of Tang Dynasty: Yan Zhenqing

It is the night when men are studying.

black hair doesn't know how to study early, but white head regrets studying late.

Interpretation: Hard-working people and hard-working students are still working and studying in the middle of the night. At midnight, the lights are still on. After turning off the lights and lying down for a short rest, the chickens crow in the fifth watch, and these hard-working people have to get up and get busy again.
