Interpretation: Life is short, time is as easy to pass away as the morning dew, and the vicissitudes of things and the rise and fall of Tao are doomed.

Original text:
The Chinese envoy preached that he was riding a flying shovel, and when the official arrived, he saw the car hit the hub. It's only hot, but who dares to touch Qu Tang in May?
life is easy to show the sunrise, but things are impermanent and bad. It's a dream to judge the deer, but a blessing in disguise is a blessing in disguise.
Vernacular translation: The envoys of the court deliver letters quickly to Ma Rufei, and the dignitaries are bustling with horses and chariots. It can be described that this grand occasion is hot, and who dares to violate it in the prosperous Tang Dynasty in May? Life is short, time is as easy to pass away as the morning dew, and the vicissitudes of things and the rise and fall of Tao are doomed. All this is like a dream, which can't tell the difference between reality and reality. Life can't regard temporary fortunes as real gains and losses.

Creative background:
Lu Yousheng was deeply influenced by his family's patriotic thoughts when he was a teenager. When I was in Song Gaozong, I took part in the does examination, but my career was not smooth because I was rejected by Qin Gui. After Song Xiaozong acceded to the throne, he was born as a scholar. He served as the main book of Ningde County, Fuzhou, the official deleted by the decree, and the judge of Longxing House. Because of his insistence on resisting gold, he was repeatedly rejected by the Lord and the faction.
In 1171, the main road was seven years old. At the invitation of Wang Yan, the ambassador of Sichuan Xuanfu, he joined the army and worked in the Nanzheng shogunate. The following year, the shogunate was dissolved, and Lu You entered Shu in a letter and became acquainted with Fan Chengda. After Song Guangzong succeeded to the throne, he was promoted to be a doctor of the Ministry of Rites and a reviewer of the Record Institute. Soon after, he was dismissed from office and returned to his hometown because of "mocking the romantic".
in the second year of Jiatai (in 122), Song Ningzong summoned Lu You to Beijing, presided over the compilation and editing of Filial Piety and Guangzong's Records of the Two Dynasties and History of the Three Dynasties, and the official position was Bao Zhangge. After the book was written, Lu You lived in seclusion for a long time, and Jiading made Chang 'an Road in the second year.
