Classic verses about the ups and downs of life

1. "Nanling Farewell Children Entering Beijing"

Li Bai of the Tang Dynasty

The white wine is newly ripe and he returns to the mountains, and the yellow chickens peck at the millet in autumn.

The children cook chicken and drink white wine, while the children laugh and hold people's clothes.

Sing high to get drunk and masturbate, dance to the sunset for glory.

It is not early to persuade people to take advantage of all the hardships, and to travel long distances on horseback with a whip.

The foolish woman in Kuaiji bought the minister lightly, so I resigned from home and went west to the Qin Dynasty.

Look up to the sky and laugh and go out. How can I be a Penghao person?

Li Bai always had lofty ambitions, but it was not until he was forty-two years old that he received an edict from Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty calling him to Beijing. Despite this, he was extremely excited, thinking that the time had come to realize his political ideals, so he immediately returned to his home in Nanling, said goodbye to his children, and wrote this passionate seven-character poem, in which he did not hide his joy. The poet describes the journey from returning home to leaving home, from beginning to end. He uses a direct description of the incident and adopts a metaphorical technique. From the outside to the inside, the ups and downs push the emotions to a climax. "Looking up to the sky and laughing", you can imagine his proud look; "How can he be a Penghao man" shows his extremely conceited psychology and vividly expresses the poet's self-satisfied image.
