Hello.
Verses that lament the passage of time:
1. White silk and beauty are so close to each other.
From "Looking in the Mirror" by Shao Ye of the Tang Dynasty. The distance between a head of white hair and youth is only a short distance away. This poem highlights how easy it is to grow old in life.
2. A hundred gold can buy a fine horse, a thousand gold can buy a beauty, ten thousand gold can buy a high noble, but where can you buy youth?
From "Accidental Works" by Qu Fu in the Qing Dynasty. Spending one hundred taels of gold can buy a horse, spending one thousand taels of gold can buy beauties, and using ten thousand taels of gold can even buy a high official position or title, but no matter how much money you have, where can you buy youth? ? The poem points out that youth is priceless, time is gone, and people should cherish their youth!
3. How many days can a hundred years last? No matter how long it takes!
From "Gift to Li Mengsou" by Du Xunhe of the Tang Dynasty. Even if it is a hundred years, how many days can there be? How can people not bear to cherish this limited time!
4. The flowing light can easily throw people away. The cherries are red and the bananas are green.
From Jiang Jie's "A Cut of Plum Blossoms·A Boat Crosses the Wujiang River" by Jiang Jie of the Song Dynasty. The ruthless time easily leaves people behind like running water. In the blink of an eye, the cherries were red and ripe, and the bananas were green again. The words describe people's sadness about spring, lamenting that time waits for no one and that time is easy to pass away.
5. I advise you not to cherish your gold-threaded clothes; I advise you to cherish your youth. If there are flowers, you must break them off. Don’t wait until there are no flowers.
From "Golden Thread Clothes" by Du Qiuniang of the Tang Dynasty. I advise you not to cherish clothes made of money, but to cherish your youth. When the flowers are blooming and it’s time to break them, you should seize the time to break them. Don’t wait until the flowers fade before breaking off the empty branches. This poem is advising people to enjoy themselves in time. But on the other hand, it also advises young people to cherish their youth and not lament their wasted youth when they are old. It is too late.
6. The sun has always been short of long ropes, and the water has gone and the clouds have returned.
From "Yishan" by Li Shangyin. There has never been a long rope to tie the sun. The water disappears, the clouds return, and the stars move around, which makes people resentful. I lament that time is fleeting and the years are fleeting. I regret that there is no long rope to tie the sun to make it go slower.
7. I shed tears when feeling the flowers, and startle the birds when I hate them.
From "Spring Hope" by Du Fu of Tang Dynasty. Feeling how time flies, I can't help but shed tears when I see the flowers blooming and falling; I hate the separation, and it's scary to see the birds in flight.
8. When you see the sun galloping, why is there an arrow on your string?
From Li Yi's "Wandering Zi Yin". Please look at the sun that flies by, and what is the difference between the arrow that leaves the string? This poem illustrates the rapidity of the sun and the moon and laments the fleeting time.
9. We are young and young, cherish the glory in our old age.
From Liang He Xun's "Gift to Old Travels" of the Southern Dynasties. Light, despise, neglect. Year, month, time, time. Twilight refers to old age. Glory refers to time and light. This saying means that when you are young, you don’t know how precious time is, but when you are old, you realize that time is fleeting and time is precious.
I hope it can help you, thank you, and hope to adopt it.
