I don't know what it means to fry life only when the moon is cold and the earth is thick.

"I don't know the sky is high and the land is thick. I don't know how high and thick the sky is. I only see the warm and cold moon. I feel that time flies and life is short, just like frying a bowl of soup of life.

Enlightenment of life

This passage reflects the poet's deep thinking about time and life, as well as his worries about his own fate.

In life, we are often troubled by trivial matters and busy with life every day. However, when we look back on our lives, we can't help sighing that time flies and life is short. Like Li He, we don't know the mystery of the universe, but we can understand the true meaning of life by paying attention to our own time and life.

Therefore, we should cherish time, grasp the present and pursue our ideals and goals. At the same time, we should respect life, love life and care for ourselves and the people around us. Only in this way can we live a wonderful life in a short time.
