Everywhere in life is not foggy, the east corner has passed, and the mulberry trees are not too late." This means that there is confusion everywhere in life. Although the early years have passed, it is not too late to cherish the future years. "The Eastern Corner has passed away, but it is not too late to mulberry trees" comes from the "Preface to Prince Teng's Pavilion" written by Wang Bo of the Tang Dynasty: "Although Beihai has credit, it can be taken over; the east corner has passed away, but it is not too late to grow mulberry trees." ”

Let’s take a look at the wonderful excerpts from the original text:

What a shame! The fortunes are not good, and the fate is misfortune. Feng Tang Yi Lao, Li Guang is difficult to seal. Qu Jiayi lived in Changsha, not without a holy master When Liang Hong travels to the sea, there is no clear time. The gentleman sees the opportunity and knows the destiny. It is better to be strong and strong, and not to feel refreshed when drinking from the greedy spring. The road is still happy. Although Beihai is on credit, it can be picked up; the east end is gone, and the mulberry tree is not late. Meng Chang is noble and has no time to serve his country; Ruan Ji is rampant, how can he cry at the end of the road?

The translation is as follows! :

Oh, everyone's timing is different, and their destiny in life is often unfavorable. Feng Tang is prone to aging, while Li Guang has made countless contributions but is rarely granted a title, which makes a talented man like Jia Yi settle in Changsha. Isn't it because there was no wise monarch at that time that Liang Hong fled to the Qilu seaside? Isn't it an era of political prosperity? It's just that a gentleman can understand the opportunity and a wise person knows his destiny. How can he be old but still strong in heart? Can you change your mood when you are old? You will become more determined when you encounter poverty, and you will not give up your ambition under any circumstances. Even if you drink the water from Tanquan, it will feel refreshing and delicious, and it will not breed greed; even if you are like a squid. In the rut that is about to dry up, it is still cheerful and joyful. Although the North Sea is far away, it can still be reached with strong winds; although the morning light has passed, it is not too late to cherish the dusk. Meng Chang has a noble heart, but his enthusiasm for serving the country is in vain. Ruan Ji is a man. How can we imitate his behavior of crying when we reach the end of the road?

The background of creation at that time is:

During the Gaozong period, Yan Mou, the governor of Hongzhou, rebuilt this pavilion. On the ninth day of the second year of the Yuan Dynasty in 675 AD, a group of officials and guests were entertained at the Tengwang Pavilion. The author passed by here when he went to Jiaozhi to visit his father. He also participated in the event, composed an impromptu poem, and wrote this preface. .

Let’s appreciate the allusions that appear many times in the article, and they are all used appropriately and appropriately. Not only are they not redundant and obscure, they also make the article appear rich, elegant, euphemistic, and affectionate. It's true. "Feng Tang Yi Lao, Li Guang was difficult to seal", "Qu Jiayi in Changsha", "Liang Hong in Haiqu", these four allusions are used together to metaphor the author's rough fate, being ostracized for compiling for Prince Pei's palace and being ostracized due to his writing. The story of being expelled by Emperor Gaozong was written in "The Chicken of the King". Although he felt resentful, he did not reveal it, and there was no suspicion of King Kong's angry eyes. "It's not late", these two allusions are metaphors for one's strong belief in not being afraid of dangers and being ambitious. Allusions such as "the weak crown waiting for the final army", "throwing the pen with a heart", "the long wind of admiration" are metaphors. His own heroic spirit and determination to make progress.

Wang Bo (649 or 650-676 or 675), a poet of the Tang Dynasty, was born in Longmen, Jiangzhou (now Hejin, Shanxi). Wang Bo is as famous as Yang Jiong, Lu Zhaolin, and King Luo Bin, and is known as the "Four Heroes of the Early Tang Dynasty". Among them, Wang Bo is the first of the "Four Heroes of the Early Tang Dynasty". In August of the third year of the Yuan Dynasty (676 years), when Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty returned from visiting his father, he unfortunately crossed the sea. Drowned and died of shock.
