Original text of the poem
"Qing Xing"
It is difficult to write down the origin of a hobby, but you can feel at ease after changing a poem a thousand times.
Grandma still looks like a girl with hairdo for the first time, and she cannot look at her hair until it is combed.
Annotation of the whole poem
⑴ Two sentences of "Grandma": It is a metaphor that writing poems in old age still seems to be done carefully when I was young. Chuji (jīji), the ancient female title and hairpin, here means just coming of age. The hair is not combed, and the metaphor poem has not been changed.
⑵ A point of understanding: The author emphasizes "spirit" in poetry, which refers to the spirit. It is said in the past that there are white lines in the rhinoceros horns, like lines, running straight from both ends. See the ancient annotations of Yan Shi in "Book of Han: Praise for the Western Regions". Li Shangyin's poem "Untitled" of the Tang Dynasty: "The heart has a clear understanding." ?
⑶Understand and use: know how to use and be able to use it.
