"Yellow Chicken" in the Happy Sand: What was the original intention? What does this poem mean?

The original meaning is a kind of chicken, because the yellow chicken can announce dawn, so the generation in the poem refers to the passage of time.

From the Song Dynasty Su Shi's "Huanxisha Wandering Autumn Water in Qingquan Temple", the original text is:

The buds just growing at the foot of the mountain are soaked in the stream, and the sand road between the pine trees is washed away by the rain. In the evening, the rain began to trickle down, and cuckoo calls came from the pine forest.

Who says life can't go back to adolescence? The water in front of the door can also flow west! Don't bemoan the passage of old age!

Translation:

The bluegrass by the stream at the foot of the mountain just sprouted and soaked in the stream. After the spring rain, the sandy path between pine trees is clean and mud-free. It is dusk, and the cuckoo in the pine forest is singing in the drizzle.

Who says that old people will never return to their youth? Look, the running water in front of that door can still flow west! Therefore, don't lament the passage of time when you are old.
