Read to my son on winter nights.

The ancients learned nothing, and it takes time to grow old.

Appreciation of whole poem
This is a godson poem by Lu You, which was written at the end of the fifth year (A.D. 1 199) when Ningzong was the champion. The poet talked about his views on knowledge acquisition from two aspects: one is to spend effort, and the other is to "practice". The ideas expressed in the poem are not only the experience of reading on a winter night, but also the summary of the poet's diligent study.
The first two sentences of the poem are based on the experience of the ancients, in which the word "effortless" summarizes the degree of efforts of the ancients in learning; The second sentence of the poem not only tells the truth of persevering in learning, but also emphasizes the importance of "young people are full of kung fu" Advise my son to seize the good times, study hard while he is young, and don't let the years pass. Only by paying attention to "young and vigorous kung fu" will he achieve something in the future.
