Things change and people change. The next sentence is: The small pond remains the same, and the colorful mandarin ducks play together.
Source: Song Dynasty Cai Shen's "Water Dragon Song: Revisiting the Old Hermit" depicts bridges and flowing water on Taoxi Road, which is particularly beautiful in the pot. There is a moonlit night in the south building, the rain is sparse at the east window, and the golden lotus flowers are intoxicating. People are quiet in the corridor, holding hands hand in hand, and the fragrance of jade is in the air. The sound of reciting the purple flute stops, Wu Yang wakes up in his dream, where are the people and the flowers are empty.
Lonely and dangerous, I lean against the fence. Looking at the fairyland, the water and clouds are endless. In the Yunfang Garden, the locks are empty again, and the ground is covered with moss. Things have changed, people have changed, the pond remains the same, and the colorful mandarin ducks play together. Thinking about the wind and moon at that time, now I have tears in my arms.
Vernacular translation:
The autumn sky in the vast southern country is desolate and desolate. The river flows with the sky, and the autumn is even more boundless. Looking at the mountains in the distance only arouses my sorrow and resentment at the decline of my country. Those mountains are like hostas and snails on a woman's head.
As the sun sets in the west, the setting sun slants over the building, and the wanderer's sorrow and anger are suppressed amidst the sad cry of the lone wild goose. I looked at the sword and smacked all the railings upstairs, but no one understood my intention to climb up the stairs.
Not to mention that chopped sea bass can be cooked into delicious dishes. The west wind is blowing everywhere. I wonder if Zhang Jiying has come back? Like Xu Si, who only bought land and real estate for himself, he should be ashamed to see Liu Bei, who has both talents. Time is like water, sorrow is like wind and rain, and trees are like wind and rain. Who can exchange for such a beautiful person? Who can ask those singing girls in red and green to wipe away the tears of the hero's frustration for me!

Writing background:
The Song Dynasty is the most important period in Chinese history An era in which commodity economy, culture, education, and scientific innovation are highly prosperous. In the third year of Xianping (1000), China's total GDP was US$26.55 billion, accounting for 22.7% of the world's total economic output. Its per capita GDP was US$450, exceeding US$400 in Western Europe at that time. Although later generations believed that the Song Dynasty was poor and weak, the prosperity of the people and social economy in the Song Dynasty actually far exceeded that of the prosperous Tang Dynasty.
The Neo-Confucianism of the Song and Ming Dynasties appeared in the Song Dynasty. Confucianism was revived, science and technology developed rapidly, and politics were enlightened. There were no serious eunuch dictatorships and warlord separatism. The number and scale of mutinies and civil unrest were relatively few in Chinese history. . Due to the promotion of Champa rice in the Northern Song Dynasty, the population increased rapidly, from 37.1 million in the fifth year of Taiping and Xingguo (980) to 126 million in the sixth year of Xuanhe (1124).
