The cost of pure wine is a gold cup, 10 thousand copper coins and a hip flask, and I am ashamed of 10 thousand yuan.
I threw the food bar and cup aside. I couldn't eat or drink. I pulled out my dagger. I peeped in four directions in vain.
I want to cross the Yellow River, but ice will block the ferry and Taihang Mountain will be covered with snow.
I will sit on a fishing rod and lean lazily by the stream, but I suddenly dream of sailing a boat towards the sun.
Travel is hard. Travel is hard. Don't go astray! Where to go today.
One day, I will ride the wind and waves, raise the Yun Fan and cross the sea.
The road of life is so broad, but I have no way out.
I have no face to follow those people who have no guts to bet on pears and chestnuts.
I don't mean to grovel in the door of power, as Feng Xuan complained.
At that time, people in Huaiyin laughed at the ministers of the Han Dynasty for their cowardice and incompetence, but they were jealous of Jia Yi's Excellence.
If you don't see the former prince who worships talents and builds a platform, there is no doubt that he has a hair clasp in his hand.
Juxin and Le Yi were grateful for their kindness. They tried their best to serve the monarch with their talents.
But Yan Zhaowang died early, who can reuse the wise men like him?
The road is hard, I must go back!
Don't listen to what you don't like, and don't die of hunger like a famous hermit! .
Living in a mixed crowd has no reputation. Why should it be as lofty as the moon or clouds? ?
There is no one who failed to retire in ancient times but died tragically after winning glory.
General Wu's head was hung on the city gate and the poet laureate was drowned in the river.
The brilliant scholar hoped in vain that Minister Li would regret not retiring.
Save his life by hearing the crane's cry and falcon's gray hunting because of his long-cherished wish?
Have you noticed that Zhang Hans of Wuzhong is called Sheng Da and happily goes home to eat bass? ?
Enjoy a glass of wine while you are alive! Don't care if your reputation will be passed down! ?
Translation:
The wine in the golden cup 1000 yuan a barrel, and the food in the jade plate 10000 yuan.
But my anxiety made me put down a glass of chopsticks and refused to eat. Pulled out his sword and looked around, feeling at a loss.
To cross the Yellow River, frozen rivers. If you want to climb Taihang Mountain, the mountains are covered with snow.
In those days, when fishing in Jiang Taigong Creek, Shang Tang hired a talent named Wang Wen.
How difficult is the road to life, how difficult it is, and where is the real avenue?
I firmly believe that the time will come, when I will sail and cross the blue sea and blue sky.
