Hold your gray hair and sing the yellow rooster
Sing the yellow rooster: lament the passage of time. Because the yellow rooster can announce the dawn, it means the passage of time. Huangji means the rooster that announces the dawn.
Don’t sing about the yellow chicken with gray hair." This is a poem by Bai Juyi, which means don’t lament the passing of time. Bai Juyi said in the poem "Drunken Song to Show the Prostitute Shang Linglong" that "the yellow chicken reminds me "Dawn", "Daytime promotes age", people grow old day by day in the crow of yellow roosters and the flow of daylight, so he lamented that "the red silk ribbon around the waist is not stable, and the beauty in the mirror has been lost." Su Shi used the opposite meaning here: "Don't sing about the yellow chicken with white hair." "White hair" refers to old age, and "yellow chicken" refers to the sentiment of the passing of time in Bai Juyi's poem. Don't be negative and pessimistic because you are old, your life will be like a child again
