Teenagers are easy to get old but difficult to learn,
An inch of time is not light.
I didn't feel the dream of spring grass in the pond,
The leaves in front of the steps have sounded in autumn.

"Poem to Encourage Learning" is an escape poem, and the specific writing date is unknown, which is about the last year of Shaoxing (1 162). This poem is widely circulated in Japan and now, thinking that it was written by Zhu, so it is reserved for reference. Its main purpose is to persuade young people to cherish time and study hard, which is both persuasion and self-warning.
The language of the poem is easy to understand, and the image is vivid and vivid. Compared with the dream of spring grass in the pond and the sudden autumn sound of phoenix trees in front of the steps, the poem is very appropriate and doubles the power of exhortation.
