What does the author compare time to in On Time?

The author compares time to a meat cleaver. Because time can make a lot of things change dramatically, it is a magical and ruthless meat cleaver. At the same time, when using metaphor to explain or reason, we should use simple and clear things to describe profound truth, turn abstraction into concreteness, and simplify complexity to help people understand it deeply. And make the language vivid and rich in literary talent.

This is a short and pithy poetic prose. With graceful and elegant brushwork, the author expressed his philosophical thinking about time and warned people to cherish time.

Time is an objective form of material existence and a continuous system composed of past, present and future. It is a manifestation of the continuity and sequence of material movement and change. Time is an abstract concept, and no one can describe his face; Nobody can stop him.

Writer Zhao vividly described this feature in the article Time: "Neither time nor darkness can change his pace." "Laughter can't stop him." "Sighing can't stop him." It is precisely because time will not stop, so time quietly leaves inadvertently.

Flow through your fingers; Slide down from the soles of your feet; Escape from your imagination and thoughts ... cherish time and work hard. In a limited time, we can achieve fruitful results and create brilliant history. If you waste time, you will return empty-handed, leaving countless regrets and sighs. Time is also generous and fair. As long as you cherish him, he will grow shade behind you and bear heavy fruit.
