"Poem to Encourage Learning"
Author Yan Zhenqing? Dynasty Tang Dynasty
When the lights are on at three o'clock and the chicken is on five o'clock, it is the time for men to study hour.
Black-haired people don’t know how to study early, and white-haired people regret studying late.
Interpretation
From midnight every day to when the rooster crows, it is the best time for boys to study. In their youth, they must know how to study hard and study diligently. But if you only know how to play and don't know how to study hard, you will regret when you are old that you didn't know how to study hard when you were young.
"Winter Night Reading Shows Ziyu"
Author Lu You? Song Dynasty
The ancients spared no effort in learning, and they only matured when they were young and old.
What you have learned on paper will eventually make you realize it, but you will definitely know that this matter must be carried out.
Interpretation
The ancients spared no effort in learning, and often did not achieve success until old age. After all, the knowledge gained from books is not perfect. If you want to deeply understand the truth, you must practice it yourself.
"Spring Hope"
The author is Du Fu? During the Tang Dynasty
The country is broken by mountains and rivers, and the city has deep spring vegetation.
I am moved to tears by the flowers in my heart, and I am frightened by the hatred of other birds.
The war rages on for three months, and a letter from home is worth ten thousand gold.
The white-headed scratches are shorter, and the lust is overwhelming.
Interpretation
Chang'an fell, the country was broken, and only the mountains and rivers remained; spring came, and the sparsely populated Chang'an city was lush with vegetation. Feeling sentimental about state affairs, I can't help but burst into tears, and the chirping of birds frightens my heart, which only adds to the sorrow and hatred of separation. The continuous war has lasted for more than half a year. Letters from home are rare, and one letter is worth ten thousand taels of gold. Wrapped in melancholy, I scratched my head and thought. My white hair became shorter and shorter, and I almost couldn't put a hairpin in it.
