Author Su Shi, Song Dynasty
If you want to know how old you are, there are snakes going to the valley.
The scale is half, who will cover it?
The situation wants to tie its tail, although it is diligent and helpless.
The child was forced not to sleep and was very happy at night.
If you don't sing the morning chicken, you are more afraid of causing trouble.
After sitting for a long time, the lights went down and I looked at the Big Dipper.
It will be gone next year, and my worries will be in vain.
Try to do it tonight, and the teenager can still boast.
Translation:
You know, the age of parting is like a long snake swimming to the ravine. Half the scales are gone, who can stop the idea of leaving! Besides, I want to tie its tail, although I know diligently that this is a helpless move. Children don't sleep at night, don't laugh, don't make trouble and struggle. Morning chicken, please stop singing, it's even scarier to be urged.
After sitting in the snuff for a long night, I fell down little by little. When I got up, I saw that the Big Dipper was lying on one side. Is there no Chinese New Year next year? I'm afraid my mind will be the same again. Cherish this night, young people can boast.
