From the eastern han dynasty cao cao's "although to life", the original text is:
Although the tortoise has a long life, it still has its time.
A poisonous snake flew in the fog and was finally covered with dust.
An old horse crouches, aiming at a thousand miles.
The martyrs were full of courage in their later years.
Surplus and contraction periods are not just in the sky.
Blessings that nourish grace can last forever.
I am glad to use this poem to express my inner desire.
Translation:
Although the tortoise has a long life, its life will end one day;
Although Teng snake can break through clouds and fog, it will eventually die and turn to dust.
Although the old swift horse is squatting by the manger, its ambition is still to gallop thousands of miles;
Even in old age, people who aim high will not stop trying to make progress.
The length of a person's life is not just determined by heaven.
Take care of your body and mind, and you will live longer.
Very lucky. Use singing to express your thoughts and feelings.
