[ Interpretation] The original poem is a seven-rhythm poem. These two sentences are a warning to my brother and nephew-hard study in adolescence will lay the foundation for a lifetime's career. Don't be lazy at all and don't waste good time. Poetry is an exhortation to future generations, with sincere feelings and profound intentions.
Du Xunhe (846-97), whose own name was "Jiuhuashan", was born in Shidai (now shitai county) in the late Tang Dynasty.
When Du was a teenager, he dropped out of school because of his poor family, went to Jiuhua Mountain to show LAM Raymond, stayed in a monk's house, and studied hard in the mountains, boasting that he was "a poet in the Jianghu and the poorest person in the world". When I was young, I couldn't pass the exam. It was not until he was forty-six years old in the second year of Dashun (891) that he entered the Jinshi (eighth place). At that time, the political situation was turbulent, and he returned to his hometown to live in seclusion before he became an official. After entering the Southern Tang Dynasty, he was awarded a bachelor's degree in Hanlin. Knowing the patent, he soon died of illness.
Xun He was brilliant, with a successful career, but he never paid for it. However, he enjoyed a good reputation in the poetry circle, and he was unique and good at palace poems. Being in the arms of Jiuhua Mountain for a long time, there are many poems chanting the face of Jiuhua Mountain, which have distinct colors of the times. The book "Autumn with Jiuhua's Old Residence" written by a guest living in another country reveals the feelings of abandoning officials and retiring to Jiuhua and the pain of being in a foreign land. Poems such as Feelings of Returning from Jiangxi to Jiuhua, The Village where the topic lives and Widow in the Mountain reveal that the society and politics are dim, cruel officials are cruel, warlords are fighting and the people are struggling, which reflects the sufferings and voices of the people and is a true portrayal of social life at that time.
