This sentence comes from the fifth paragraph of Preface to Wang Tengting by Wang Bo, a writer in the Tang Dynasty. The full text of the excerpt is as follows: Hehe! Bad luck, bad luck. Feng Tang is easy to get old, but Li Guang is hard to seal. Qu Jiayi is in Changsha, not without a master; Is there no time to escape from Hongliang to Haiqu? A gentleman plays it by ear and knows the world.
When you are old and strong, would you rather be moved? Poverty is strong, not falling into the sky. I feel that Chanquan is very cool, but I am still very happy after doing it. Although Beihai is on credit, it can be accepted; The cold corner has gone, and the mulberry is not late. Meng has noble taste and is free to serve the country; Ruan Ji is crazy, how can he cry to the end of the road!
Explain in vernacular: alas! Fate is bad and the road is difficult. Feng Tang is easy to get old, but Li Guang is difficult to seal Hou. Jia Yi was demoted to Changsha without a wise king: Isn't Hongliang living in seclusion by the sea in an era of political prosperity? It's just a sign that a gentleman can perceive things, and a wise man knows his destiny.
You should be more ambitious when you are old. How to change your mind when you are white-haired? You must become stronger in difficult times, and you can't give up Lingyun's ambition.
In this way, even if you drink the water from the greedy spring, you still feel clean and dust-free; In the dry rut, you can still be optimistic and cheerful. Although the North Sea is far away, the cyclone can still reach it. Although the past time has passed, it is not too late to cherish the future. Meng taste is noble, but he has the heart to serve the country; Ruan Ji is wild and unruly. How can he learn from him and come back crying when he is cornered?
