Play Qingquan Temple in Qishui, next to the temple is Lanxi, and the stream flows west.
The orchid buds under the mountain are short-dipped in the stream,
The sand road between pine trees is clean and mud-free.
At dusk, the rain is whispering.
Who says life can't go back to adolescence?
The water in front of the door can also flow west!
Don't bemoan the passage of old age!
At this time, the author was 48 years old. In the old society, he approached the so-called "knowing the destiny" and he smelled the "rustling rain". The feeling of traveling should be depressing, but the clear scenery gave him a good feeling. The arm disease has healed, and Pang An is often a strange man, good at medicine and deaf. Although deaf, he has a clever understanding. He used his fingers to draw words and countless numbers, and worked for people's profound meaning (see Dongpo Zhi Lin). Therefore, the author is in a good mood. In this case, the sudden sight of "Spring Flowing West" aroused the author's great ambition to do great things, although he was very depressed. So, "Who knows there is no shortage of life?" In front of the door (a "look at you"), the running water can still flow west, so the quip "white hair doesn't sing yellow chicken" was born.
Yellow chicken and white hair are used to remind people of old age, and the author used them instead. The whole poem uses shallow and vulgar language, but "shallow language is also extraordinary", which fully embodies the author's ability to grasp the meaning and makes it charming. The philosophy reflected in the sentence and the positive and high-pitched sentiment have touched countless readers for thousands of years.
