I don't know where it will be next year,
You can't live without this gentleman for a day.
The pavilion is small and the scenery is nothing special, but this couplet is unforgettable. I just feel that the style seems too cold in this elegant place. The first sentence is a common exclamation in China's poems, such as "Langtaosha" by Ouyang Xiu: "Drinking the east wind, and being calm with * * *, hangs in the east of Luocheng. At that time, I always held hands and traveled all over the Champs. It is endless hate to gather and disperse in a hurry. This year's flowers are better than last year's, but next year's flowers are better. You know who you are with. " This is an expectation for the future. Good this year, good now, but what about tomorrow and next year? I don't know where it will flow next year, and time is fleeting. There are always people absent from future parties. The latter sentence quotes Wang Huizhi's exclamation of bamboo in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, emphasizing the feeling of being in the present. These two sentences have close emotional logic. Just because we can't grasp the future, and just because we will be absent, we should cherish this present feast of life. This couplet is helpless, but even more shocking. China's art emphasizes the limitations brought by time and space, transcends time and space, and appreciates the present harmony. It contains the instantaneous and eternal thoughts of the people of China.
