Tomorrow after tomorrow, the author of the whole poem

The author of the poem "Tomorrow after Tomorrow" is as follows:

Make Way for Tomorrow

Tomorrow after tomorrow, there are so many tomorrows. Tomorrow will never come.

If the world is tired tomorrow, it will go to Qiu Lai as a veteran in spring. Watch the water flow eastward and the sunset at dusk.

What will tomorrow be like in a hundred years? Please listen to my song tomorrow.

The day after tomorrow, how many tomorrows! Waiting for tomorrow, everything will be wasted.

The world is tired of tomorrow, and tomorrow will be endless. In the morning, the water flows east, and now it grows in the west.

What will tomorrow be like in a hundred years? Please listen to my song tomorrow.

Creation background

This poem was copied by Qian, a scholar in Ming Dynasty. Some people think it was written by Wen Jia's "Today's Song". In fact, as long as we look at their birth and death years, it should be Wen Jia (150 1 ~ 1583) and Qian Fu (141-kloc-0/504). Taking himself as an example, this poem advises the world to cherish every day, live in the present and not waste time waiting for tomorrow forever. The whole poem is rich in content, fluent in language, easy to understand, convincing and shocking.

translate

Always waiting for tomorrow, how many tomorrows! Waiting for tomorrow every day, but doing nothing, wasting time. If the world is hurt by "tomorrow" like me, it will soon find itself old as the days go by. Only by living in the present can we appreciate the joy of watching the river flow eastward in the morning and the sunset in the evening. A hundred years tomorrow, how much can there be? Please listen to my song tomorrow, don't waste today's time.

The meaning of this poem is simple and straightforward, without any metaphorical content, but it expresses a kind of drawback that everyone has been trying to eliminate since ancient times, that is, many people use "tomorrow" as an excuse to avoid problems that should be solved immediately and let themselves be lazy until "everything goes wrong". In fact, as the author said, "Tomorrow can be a hundred years old", the most important thing is not tomorrow, but grasping the present.

Appreciation of poetry and prose

This poem mentions "tomorrow" seven times, repeatedly warning people to cherish time, do today's work well, don't put it off until tomorrow, and don't waste time. Poetry has simple meaning, clear language, easy-to-understand reasoning and great educational significance. It gives people the enlightenment that many things in the world can be fought for and recovered as much as possible, and only time is hard to retain. There is only one life, and time never looks back. Don't put off till tomorrow what you can do today and the day after tomorrow.

The poet warned people to firmly grasp the fleeting today. What can be done today must be done today. Don't pin any plans and hopes on the unknown tomorrow. Otherwise, "the day after tomorrow" will only end up as "all in vain" and accomplish nothing.
