"Life is rootless and floating like dust." Rootless: describes drifting. Mo: Road. These two sentences mean that life in the world is like a rootless tree, a rootless flower, and dust floating in the wind on the road.
"It's unusual to drift away with the wind." Permanent establishment: permanent establishment. Buddhism believes that the permanent body has eternal legitimacy, which is different from the life and death of parents. The meaning of these two sentences is that because of the unpredictability of fate and the uncertainty of life, all kinds of encounters and changes are constantly changing people, and everyone is not the original self. Although the language in these four poems is ordinary, it has a strange meaning. It is a metaphor to compare life to a rootless tree and a rootless flower, and then to a stranger in the dust. It is also a metaphor, a comparison with China, and an image in the image, which directly writes the poet's profound life experience and reveals his deepest sorrow.
"Since we are brothers, why should we eat each other?" Landing: point out life. The meaning of these two sentences is that since everyone is not the original self, why should we care about kinship and blood relationship? Everyone who comes into this world should be a brother.
"Just have fun, and it's better to fight for wine." Huan: joy and joy. These two sentences mean that if you are happy, you should be happy, and if you have wine, you should get together to drink. Rich experience often makes people have a deeper understanding of the tragedy of life, and the growth of age often makes it more difficult for people to find the joy and excitement of life, especially Tao Yuanming in the dark period of politics. But after all, he didn't completely give up the ideal of a better life. In the spirit of fraternity, he turned to the nature outside the officialdom to seek beauty, sought spiritual pleasure in rural life, and forged a deep friendship with the villagers. This joy is plain, neutral, clear and simple.
"If you don't come back in your prime, it's hard to get up in the morning." Morning is hard: it means there is no second morning. These two sentences mean that the prime of life will not come again, and there will be no second morning in a day. "Encourage in time, and time waits for no one." The meaning of these two sentences is to encourage yourself when you are in your prime, and time waits for no one.
The phrase "Time waits for no man" is often used to encourage young people to seize opportunities, cherish time, study hard and make continuous progress. However, the original intention of Tao Yuanming's "Time waits for no man" is quite different from this, which is to encourage people to live in the present and have fun in time. Since life is so short, life is so unpredictable and joy is so rare, we should cherish the occasional little joy in life, don't let it go easily, seize it in time and enjoy it to the fullest. This is why Tao Yuanming found pure beauty in nature, simple interpersonal relationship in rural life and self-realization in rural labor.
When this poem was written, it lamented that fate could not be grasped, which made people feel confused and sad to read. Then, a little bit, Tao Yuanming persistently searched for friendship, joy and a glimmer of hope in his life. The last one is impassioned and makes people excited. The language of the whole poem is unpretentious, and the metaphor comes from life. It is rough as jade, but its connotation is extremely rich, ups and downs and thought-provoking. It can be said that lamenting the impermanence of life and feeling the shortness of life are the keynote of this poem.
