1, Long song
HanYueFu
The sunflower in the green garden is exposed to the sun until sunrise.
Spring fills the earth with hope, and everything presents a scene of prosperity.
I am always afraid that when the cold autumn comes, the trees in Ye Er will turn yellow and the grass will wither.
The river runs to the sea, and when will it return to the west?
A lazy youth, a lousy age.

4. Miscellaneous poems
Dong Yuanming
Life without a base is like the dust of the road.
Life blowing in the wind, the body has gone through hardships, and it is not what it used to be.
When the world is brothers, why do brothers of their own brothers want to date each other?
When you meet a pleasure, you should be happy, and you should invite your neighbors to drink.
Once the youth is gone, it will never come again, and you will never see the arrival of the next day.
Modern Translation of Ancient Poetry
Life in this world is like dust on the road. Originally, it was like wandering dust, without roots. Life blowing in the wind, this body has gone through hardships and is no longer what it used to be. Everyone in the world should be regarded as a brother. Why do you have to be your own brother to date each other? When you are happy, you should eat, drink and be merry. If you have wine, you should invite your neighbors to drink it. Life is like time. Once it's over, it's never coming back. Therefore, we should take advantage of the prime of life, encourage ourselves more and do what we should do.
Make an appreciative comment
Mr. Yao Yao thinks that the first eight songs are "consistent in words and deeds" and regarded as the same year. According to the meaning of his six sentences "fifty years later, I suddenly kissed this matter", it was proved that it was written in AD 4 14 (the tenth year of Jin 'an Emperor Yi Xi). At that time, Tao Yuanming was fifty years old and it had been eight years since he resigned and returned to the field.
This group of miscellaneous poems is actually a mixed love poem, which is "not limited to examples, but talking about things" (Shan Li's Notes on Selected Works). As the fourth volume of Tao Shi Jie said: "Twelve poems are all sorrow, the eighth is poverty, and the rest are all regrets for the boss. Sorrow and indignation are equal to Chu Ci. " It can be said that lamenting the impermanence of life and regretting the shortness of life are the keynote of this group of chores.
It's time for people to encourage themselves when they reach middle age. Time goes by and waits for no one.
