original text

Every time we look at the reason why people in the past are excited, if we combine the contract [42], we will not miss the text (ㄐㄧㄝㄝㄠㄠㄠ) [43], and we cannot say that [44] is in our arms. Knowing that a dead life is a wrong birth, Peng Qi's sadness is an illusion. Looking back on today is still looking back on the past, grieving husband! Therefore, when people are enumerated [46], they record what they say [47]. Although the world is different [48], they are all pregnant, which leads to a [49]. After the viewer [50], he will feel sven [5 1].

translate

People influence each other and spend their lives between courses. Some people are open-minded and talk with friends at home; Some people pin their interests on certain things, indulge in pleasure and are not bound by secular etiquette. Although people's choices of life vary widely, there are also differences between calmness and impatience, but when they rejoice in their situation and feel temporarily successful, they will feel happy and satisfied, and the twilight years when they temporarily forget their lives will soon come. When they are tired of what they are pursuing in life, their mood will also change, and they will sigh about life. We can't help but feel deeply about what used to be a happy thing suddenly becoming a thing of the past. What's more, people's life span varies for various reasons, but it will come to an end one day. The ancients said: "Life and death are also important events in life!" Isn't that sad?

Every time I see the reasons why my predecessors are happy for their feelings, they are always consistent with my sighs, and I never sigh and grieve for these articles, but I don't know why. I have always believed that it is wrong to treat death and life as the same thing, and it is absurd to equate long life with short life. How sad it is for future generations to look at modern people with the eyes of modern people looking at ancient people! So I wrote down the names of the people who participated in the Lanting gathering and copied the poems they recited. Even if the times are different and the world will change, people express their feelings for the same reason. Later readers will also have some feelings about these poems.
