The trees in the garden are lush, and the crystal dew rises in the sun.
Spring fills the earth with hope, and everything presents a scene of prosperity.
I am always afraid that when the cold autumn comes, the trees in Ye Er will turn yellow and the grass will wither.
The river runs to the sea, and when will it return to the west?
A lazy youth, a lousy age.
Interpretation of Vernacular Language: Sunflowers in the garden are lush, and Ran Ran rises in the crystal clear morning sun.
Spring scatters hope all over the earth, and everything shows prosperity.
I am always afraid that the cold autumn will come, the leaves will turn yellow and the grass will wither.
When can a hundred rivers run to the sea and return to the west?
If young people don't work hard in time, they will only regret it for a lifetime when they are old.
Extended data creation background:
Yuefu is a royal musical organ established since the Qin Dynasty. It not only sings the poems of literati, but also undertakes the task of collecting folk songs. During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, a large number of poems were collected from the people, which were rich in content and wide in subject matter. This poem is one of Han Yuefu's poems. Long-line songs refer to freestyle singing with "long singing" as the tune.
This poem avoids the boring life sermon, and makes the final epigram look vigorous and profound, which deeply touches the readers' hearts, just like Hong Zhong's sonority. The word "disciple" at the end of the sentence is meaningful: first, it says that the boss has accomplished nothing and life is a waste; Second, waking up in old age will not help, but there is no way, which is intended to emphasize the need to work hard in time.
