original text
Yonghe nine years, aged in Guichou, will gather in Lanting to repair things in late spring and early spring. A group of smart people never miss, but some of them are long and salty. There are mountains here, and there are bamboo cultivation in Maolin; There is also a clear stream, which reflects left and right, thinking it is a stream, followed by a row. Although it is not as prosperous as the string of silk and bamboo, it is enough to love.
It's sunny, sunny and breezy. Looking up at the size of the universe and overlooking the variety, it's enough to enjoy watching and listening. I believe in coke.
A lady's phase, throw her life, or arm in arm, talk about one room; Let the waves go because of the entrustment. Although the choice is different, calm is different. When it is happy with what it has encountered, it will gain something from itself for the time being and will soon be self-sufficient without knowing the coming of old age. What he is tired of is that his feelings are advancing with the times and his feelings are sentimental. I'm happy about it. It's a thing of the past between pitches, so I still have to be happy about it. The situation is short-lived, and it will end in the end. The ancients said, "Life and death are great." It hurts!
Every time we look at the reasons for the excitement of the ancients, if we unite, we will not be without sorrow, and we can't compare it to something in our chests. Knowing that a dead life is a false birthday and the destruction of Peng Qi is a mistake. Look at the present in the future or look at the past today. Sad husband! Therefore, as soon as people go public, they record what they say. Although the world is different, they are happy and they are one. Later visitors will also be impressed by Sven.

Jin Shengtan's "Talented People in the World Must Read" Volume 9: "This article says that life and death are very heavy, and it has a good time to read it today, not to mention the clever and humorous words. It is really the first kind of love in ancient and modern times."
Li Zhaoluo's "Parallel Paper Money" Volume 21: "Elegant people are deeply impressed and play with it."
Wu Chucai and Wu Diaohou's View on China's Ancient Literature Volume 7: "The whole article focuses on the word' life and death'. Just for the literati at that time, it didn't work. When you die, you are born in the same place, with no economic outline. Therefore, I am happy to touch the scenery, and I am sick when I am sick. But I am lazy and broad-minded, so although I am sad and sighing, I have endless fun. "
Pu Qilong's Annotation of Ancient Chinese Eyebrows Volume 42: The preface is not only poetic, but also poetic. Shortening life and death is poetic at the moment, so I say so. Unique brushwork, superior to the selected style.
Yu Cheng's Interpretation of Newly Edited China Classical Poetry (Volume 7): Because of the joy of the banquet and the sadness of life and death, Lanting will wait for a while, but it is impossible to wait for the ordinary episode. On the same day, it was still a heart-to-heart; The intentions of those who confuse the imperial court are also fictitious. Lin told me that the ancients didn't read articles as carefully as he did. This letter is true. Because of its noble sentiment and easy writing, it is even more difficult to describe.
