The "ten years" in poetry seems to be a life.

Yes, "ten years" in poetry is often used to mean a long period of time, which can bring many life experiences and changes. In poetry, ten years can symbolize a stage of life, full of ups and downs, turning points and feelings.

For example, there is a sentence in Li Qingzhao's Dream: "Ten years of life and death are ambiguous. If you don't think about it, you will never forget it. " The "ten years" here does not refer to a specific time, but represents a stage of life, expressing feelings and thoughts about life and death and parting.

In addition, the word "ten years" often appears in many other poems, such as "ten years to sharpen a sword, but the frost blade has not been tried" in Xin Qiji's Jade Case Yuan and "ten years of life and death are boundless, thoughtless and unforgettable" in Su Shi's Hunting in Jiangchengzi Mizhou. The "ten years" in these poems all represent a stage of life and contain the author's understanding of life.

Therefore, the "ten years" in poetry is not only the length of time, but also a symbol of life experience.
