The people are idle, the carriages and horses are slow, and the stars are far away in the distance. From "Chu Ci".
The full text is as follows:
I remember when we were young,
everyone said it sincerely,
one sentence after another,
Early in the morning at the train station,
the long street was dark and deserted,
the shop selling soy milk was steaming,
the color of the past had changed. Slow,
Cars, horses, and mail are all slow,
A lifetime is only enough to love one person,
People are idle, cars and horses are slow,
Lu Yao
The phrase "people are idle, cars and horses are slow, and the stars are far away." This sentence means to describe the attitude towards life. There is no doubt that in terms of reality, the accelerated pace of life is more like overdrawing life, but it must not be Not so. No one doesn't like a lazy life, but for one reason or another, he has to catch up, and no one likes to fall behind.
The ideal attitude towards life is not the interpretation in real life. No matter whether you are poor, rich, or humble and noble, no one will take a step back. A step back will lead you to the end of the world. Only material security can give the spirit more freedom.

In the process, almost every link and detail has or has given rise to different disagreements - with the spread of doubts about ancient times before and after the "May 4th Movement", even the existence of Qu Yuan has caused controversy, and some have completely denied " There are works from the Pre-Qin Dynasty in "The Songs of Chu".
"Songs of Chu" is the first collection of romantic poetry in the history of Chinese literature. It is said to be a new poetry style created by Qu Yuan. The name "Chu Ci" existed in the early Western Han Dynasty. It was compiled into a collection by Liu Xiangnai and composed by Wang Yi in the Eastern Han Dynasty. The characteristics of the Chu Ci are "writing the language of Chu, composing the sounds of Chu, recording the places of Chu, and naming the objects of Chu", which is rich in the local color of Chu.
Qu Yuan is the representative writer of Chu Ci. His "Li Sao" is the representative work of "Chu Ci", so later generations also called "Chu Ci" as "Sao".
