Appreciate a person who lives in the world, usually less than 100 years old, but always remember the sadness after a thousand years. Why bother? Life should be carpe diem! Since you always complain that the days are so short and the nights are so long, why not take a candle and play around the clock? The original poem is to persuade people to know the world in time, eat, drink and be merry in time, and not to worry about useless things day and night. The poem also satirizes the ignorance and ignorance of those rich and greedy people and their understanding of life. The poem "If you are not a hundred years old, you will always worry about being a thousand years old" is often regarded as a motto by some hedonists. In fact, the original poem mainly advises people not to waste time on meaningless troubles, but also to be philosophical in everything, to appreciate it modestly, and to grasp all kinds of beautiful things around them. Life is not a lack of beauty for us, but a lack of discovery!
The original poem was born less than a hundred years ago, and he often worried that he was already a thousand years old. The days are short and the nights are long. Why not travel by candlelight?
