Dynasty: Han Dynasty Author: Anonymous
The trees in the garden are lush, and the crystal dew rises in the sun.
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?
If young people don't work in time, they will only regret for life when they are old.

The sunflower in the garden is green and gloomy, and the dew on the sunflower leaves is dried by the early morning sun. The sunshine in spring fills the earth with warmth and everything is full of vitality. I often worry that when autumn comes, beautiful flowers and leaves will turn yellow and rot. Thousands of rivers flow eastward into the sea. When can they flow west again? People are the same. If you don't cherish time when you are young and don't work hard, you will only regret and be sad when you are old.
This poem is selected from Han Yuefu. Yuefu is a royal musical organ established since the Qin Dynasty. During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, a large number of poems were collected from the people, which were rich in content and wide in subject matter. This poem is one of them. Long-line songs refer to freestyle singing with "long singing" as the tune.
This poem is selected from Volume 30 of Yuefu Poetry, which belongs to a genus, and the lyrics are flat. "Yuefu Problem Solving" said that this ancient poem "didn't last long. When you work hard, you will be happy. If you don't get to the boss, you will be sad. " It is obviously a misinterpretation to understand "hard work" as "hard work for pleasure". Many five-character poems in Han Dynasty lament that life is short and advocate carpe diem. From the overall concept, this poem mainly refers to the rapid change of seasons, and the time is gone forever, so people are advised to cherish their youth and strive to make a difference. Its emotional tone is positive.
