Don Du Qiuniang
I advise you not to cherish golden clothes, and to cherish youth.
Flowers can be folded straight, don't wait until there are no flowers.
Vernacular translation
I suggest you don't cherish these luxurious dresses,
I suggest you cherish your youth.
Bloom should pay close attention to discounts when appropriate.
Don't wait for the flowers to wither before breaking an empty branch.
Witch hazel is a seven-character Yuefu in Tang Dynasty, and its author is anonymous. This is a philosophical poem by the richest man, with profound implications. It tells people not to pay attention to wealth, but to cherish their youth. It can be said that it exhorts people to pick the fruits of love in time, and it can also be said that it encourages people to make contributions in time. It is more meaningful because it is not very specific.
The meaning of this poem is very simple, which can be summed up as "Don't lose the good times". This is a kind of thought and feeling that everyone has. However, readers feel that although their feelings are simple but strong, they can linger in people's hearts for a long time and have incredible charm. Every poem seems to repeat a single meaning, "Don't lose a good time!" "And every sentence contains subtle changes, repetition is not monotonous, there is a sense of urgency, and a beautiful melody is formed. Repeated chanting emphasizes cherishing time and not missing youth. Literally, it is a bold singing of youth and love, and a frank expression of enthusiasm. However, behind the letter, the theme of "cherishing time" remains. Therefore, if the purpose of "eating and drinking in time" seems low, if it is "cherishing time", it will be stirring and intriguing.
