"A hundred rivers east to the sea"

From the unknown "Long Song Xing" of the Han Dynasty

The whole poem "A hundred rivers east to the sea"

"Long Song Xing"

Anonymous in the Han Dynasty

In the green garden, the sunflowers are waiting for the morning dew and the sun sets

In the spring of Bude, all things are shining

I am often afraid that when the autumn festival comes, the yellow flowers and leaves will wither

When hundreds of rivers reach the sea from the east, when will they return to the west?

If a young man does not work hard, the old man will be miserable!

This poem starts with "Sunflower in the Garden", and then uses the metaphor of water flowing to the sea and never coming back to illustrate that time is like running water, once it goes away it will never come back. Finally, I advise people to cherish their youth, work hard, and not regret it when they are old. This poem uses physical reasoning, first using sunflowers in the garden as a metaphor. "Qingqing" refers to its lush growth. In fact, under the sunshine and rain throughout the spring, everything is striving to grow. Because they are all afraid that autumn will come soon, and they know the reason why the autumn wind withers all the grass. The rhythm of life in nature is like this, and so is life. If a person does not take advantage of the good times and work hard and let his youth be wasted, it will be too late to regret when he is old. This poem reminds young people of the perishable life from the beauty of youth in front of them, and encourages young people to cherish time, give warnings, and encourage people to get up.
