vernacular interpretation: concentrate on reading, and before you know it, it's late spring. An inch of time is as precious as an inch of gold. But an inch of gold can't buy an inch of time. If Taoist priests didn't laugh, they would still be studying the essence and teachings of Duke Zhou and Confucius. Extended information
Writing background:
In his early years, Wang Zhenbai studied in Bailudong under Wulaofeng Mountain in Lushan Mountain, Jiangxi Province. I used poetry to describe my experience of concentrating on reading. "Reading is already deep in spring, and an inch of time is an inch of gold; It's not the Taoist who comes to laugh, but Zhou Qing Kong Si is pursuing it. " This poem "White Deer Cave" is a poem written by Wang Zhenbai when he was studying, and it is a portrayal of his reading life.
Appreciation of the article:
This is a poem about the poet's own reading life, and it is also a poem that cherishes time. "Bailudong" is located in the south of Houping Mountain at the southern foot of Wulaofeng Mountain in Lushan Mountain in Jiangxi Province. Surrounded by green hills, shaded by green trees, the environment here is quiet. Named "Bailu Cave", it is actually not a cave, but a flat land between valleys. In the middle Tang Dynasty, Li Bo studied here and kept a white deer as his companion, named "White Deer Cave".
Reading before you know it's spring "means that you concentrate on reading and before you know it, it's the end of spring. "Spring is deep" means late spring and late spring. As can be seen from this poem, the poet is absorbed in reading, and every day is tense and full, completely forgetting the time.
Spring is almost over, which was discovered by the poet inadvertently. This discovery surprised the poet and made him feel a lot. He feels that time flies too fast, and there is always not enough time to learn a lot of knowledge.
the feeling of the poet. "One inch of time and one inch of gold" means a very short time. Here, gold is used to describe time, which means that time is precious and should be cherished. This is the feeling naturally aroused by the first narrative of the poet, and it is also an immortal motto left by the poet to future generations. For thousands of years, people, especially scholars, have been encouraged to cherish time, pay attention to knowledge accumulation and constantly enrich themselves.
"It's not Taoist priests who come to make people laugh, but Zhou Qing and Kong Si are pursuing it." It's a narrative, which complements my own discovery of "deep spring" because "Taoist people come to laugh." "Taoist" refers to Taoist in Bailudong. "
make you laugh" means to make you laugh and make fun. Taoist priests can stand loneliness and calm down when they practice Zen, but poets need Taoist priests to "make them laugh" before they are willing to relax and have a rest. This shows that the poet's concentration in reading is extraordinary. No, when the Taoist priest arrived, the poet was deeply studying the essence and teaching of Duke Zhou and Confucius. "Zhou Qing Kong Si" refers to the Confucian classics read by ancient scholars.
the poem "an inch of time and an inch of gold" has become a famous saying that has been passed down through the ages to encourage the world to cherish time. Future generations should be inspired and educated. Knowledge is accumulated by time. In order to enrich themselves, we should cherish time very much.
