Song of debauchery and wealth
Northern Song Dynasty? anonymous
There are four walls of debauchery and wealth, and everyone hides in them.
As long as you can jump over, you don't have to be a fairy to live long.
Wine is the poison of heartburn, and color is the root of trouble.
Wealth is a tiger going down the mountain, and gas is a steel knife to kill people.
The translation is as follows:
Wine, sex and wealth are four walls, and everyone is in this wall. As long as you can walk through the wall, you can live forever. Wine is poison, color is the curse, money is the evil tiger, and anger is the knife to kill.
Extended data:
Su Dongpo, a great writer in the Northern Song Dynasty, once visited his friend Fo Yin in Suoguo Temple. I saw a poem with a new title on the white wall. Its poem says: "there are four walls of wine, color and wealth, and everyone hides in them;" Who can jump out of the circle and live to be a hundred years old? "Dongpo saw that this poem was quite philosophical, so he put forward another one. In his poem, he said: "Being drunk is a hero, and not being fascinated is supreme; "Ill-gotten wealth is not desirable. If you get angry, you will be gone."
The next day, accompanied by Wang Anshi, Song Shenzong Zhao Yong went to Suoguo Temple for leisure and read Dongpo's poems, which was very interesting. Wang Anshi was ordered to write a poem after a moment's reflection. His poem said: "No wine is rude, no color and few people; People without wealth don't work hard, and countries without gas have no vitality. " Song Shenzong was deeply grateful for this, and he also improvised a poem. His poem said: "Wine helps music and rites to make the country healthy, and life color and education are important;" Rich in wealth, the country is rich and the people are strong. Gas coagulation is too quiet. "
