The clear night is dust-free, and the moon is as bright as silver
The clear night is dust-free, and the moon is as bright as silver. When the wine is poured, it must be ten minutes full. Famous and vain, vain and hard work. A horse is caught in a sigh, fire is caught in a stone, and a body is caught in a dream.
11 "Xing Xiangzi·Shu Huai" by Su Shi of the Song Dynasty
Translation: The night air is fresh, there is no dust, and the moonlight is as bright as silver. On this beautiful occasion, drink wine to the moon and enjoy it to the fullest. Fame and fortune are as fickle as floating clouds, and all your efforts are in vain. Human life is just like a fast horse galloping across a gap, like a spark that bursts out when a stone is struck, and as short as a brief experience in a dream.
Appreciate the futility of people's pursuit of fame and wealth. All things in the universe are short-lived, and human life is just like "a horse in a gap, a fire in a stone, and a body in a dream."
