You don't need to push yourself.

There are often specious sayings in newspapers, such as "an ancient poem says,' An old ox knows that the sunset is late, and he doesn't need to whip his hoof'" and "as the saying goes,' he doesn't need to whip his hoof'", and many media even use this poem as the title of the article. In the application of many words, there are more than a dozen different versions, all of which are quoted in quotation marks. Actually, this is a misunderstanding. It is neither an ancient poem nor a common saying, but a quatrain poem by Cang Kejia, a contemporary poet.

198265438+February 2nd People's Daily, 8th edition, contains the article "Don't whip yourself" written by Mr. Cang Kejia. The article writes: "197565438+1October 28th, I wrote a quatrain called" Old Cow ",the whole poem is as follows. Old cows can also solve the problem of being young and expensive without their own whips. This poem is included in the collection of poems "Recalling Xiangyang" published by 1978. I am often invited to write to my friends and often write this poem, especially the last two sentences. My friends and friends like it very much, and I personally like it. "

The last two sentences of the poem are widely circulated and quoted, so there are many words and sentences, and the source is lost, so there are "ancient poems" and "proverbs". If quotation marks are used, the author suggests quoting the original sentence of Zang Shi. If you use the system instead, you don't need to put quotation marks.
