Whose poem is "Mo Dao Sang Yu is dying"?

From Liu Yuxi's "Appreciating Lotte and Singing the Old" in Tang Dynasty

Full text:

Appreciate lotte and praise the old.

People who don't care about the old have compassion when they are old.

The body is thin and the frequency is reduced, and the hair is thin and the crown is self-biased.

Waste books cherish the eyes, and most of them are cooked with years.

Classics are still familiar things, and people are like reading Sichuan.

It's lucky to think about it carefully, but it will succeed next time.

Don't say Sang Yu is late, because it is still full of clouds.

Translation:

Who doesn't worry about being old, and who will show love to him when he is old?

As the figure becomes thinner, the belt will become tighter and tighter, and the hat with sparse hair will lean to one side.

The reason why the book is put aside is to care for the eyes, because moxibustion is often used in the elderly and infirm.

The more people who have experienced it, the more you can see it at a glance.

When you think about it, being old also has a good side. If you overcome the worry about old age, you will feel carefree and carefree.

Don't say that it's nearly evening when the sun arrives in Sang Yu, and its afterglow can still shine all over the sky.

The first six sentences of the poem are based on Bai Juyi's original singing, which shows that Bai Juyi's views on "old" are quite consistent. It is human nature to write a sentence or two about "providing for the aged". Everyone is worried about aging, and no one is pitiful when they are old. Then four sentences further explain the reason for "supporting the elderly". The poet described it in vivid language: because of aging, the body is getting thinner day by day, the belt is tightening constantly, the hair is thinning gradually, and the hat is naturally skewed. Abandoning books is to protect eyes; Moxibustion is often used to prolong life.

The sentence "I am familiar with what I have learned ..." talks about the view of "old" from another aspect, which is aimed at Bai Juyi's "hurting old". Liu Yuxi believes that the old one has its shortcomings, but it also has its strengths. The weakness of the elderly is infirmity. "He is thin, his hair is sparse, and his hat is off-center." The old man's strength is his rich experience. "Experience is still familiar, reading people like reading Sichuan." The older you get, the more things you experience, the more things you know, and the more people you meet, the deeper your experience will be. Come to think of it carefully, this is also a blessing. Therefore, the poet sang, "It will naturally rain here." The poet advised his friend not to worry too much about aging, but to be happy if he treated it correctly.

The last two sentences are the crowning touch of the whole poem, with beautiful artistic conception. The momentum is unrestrained, and Cao Cao is "an old horse crouching and aiming at a thousand miles." The martyr's later years were full of courage. In the face of aging, the poet is neither negative nor pessimistic. He should spend his whole life scattering red clouds all over the sky. These two poems are not only the self-disclosure of the poet's inner world, but also the relief and encouragement to his old friend Bai Juyi.

The first paragraph and the second paragraph of this poem are contradictory, natural, dialectical and persuasive. The last two sentences are particularly incisive. In fact, they are cautionary words, which are used by later generations to encourage themselves.
