If you hit a stone, there will be fire, but if you don't hit Yuan, there will be no smoke. It is unnatural to learn without learning.
Everything must be his own luck, he is not my sage. Youth must be early, how can we grow into teenagers?
Translation/annotation
Only when you hit a stone will there be sparks; If you don't fight, not even a little smoke will come out.
So do people. Only by studying can we master knowledge. Without learning, knowledge will not fall from the sky.
Everything depends on your own practice, and the knowledge gained by others can't replace your own talent.
You should work hard as soon as possible while you are young. Can a person be a teenager forever?

Meng Jiao (75 1 -8 15), a native of Dongye, Han nationality, was born in Wu Kang, Huzhou (now Deqing County, Zhejiang Province). His ancestral home is Pingchang (now Linyi County, Dezhou, Shandong Province) and his ancestral home is Ruzhou (now Ruzhou, Henan Province). He was a famous poet in the Tang Dynasty and lived in seclusion in Songshan Mountain as a teenager.
Meng Jiao made two attempts to become a scholar. He was a scholar at the age of forty-six, and once served as a county commandant in Liyang. Unable to realize his ambition, he wandered among fairies and wrote poems. Even the official business was wasted, and the county magistrate changed a fake one. Later, due to the recommendation of Henan Yin Zheng Qing Yu, he worked in Henan (now Luoyang, Henan) and spent most of his later years in Luoyang. In the ninth year of Xian Zongyuan, Zheng Yuqing once again recruited him to join the army in Xingyuan House, but took his wife to Kanxiang County (now Lingbao, Henan Province), died of sudden illness and was buried in Luoyang East. Zhang Ji called himself "Mr. Yao Zhen" in private. Meng Jiao's official history is simple, and his life is cold. He is stubborn in Geng Jie. After his death, Zheng Yuqing bought a coffin for burial. So poetry also writes about the indifference of the world and the suffering of the people. There are more than 574 existing poems in Meng Jiao, among which the most are short five-character poems, and the masterpiece is Ode to a Wanderer. Today's biography of Meng Dongye's poems is 10. Known as the "poet's prison", it is also as famous as Jia Dao, and is called "Jiao Han Dao Bo".
