-Yuefu poetry
The trees in the garden are lush, and the crystal dew rises in the sun.
Spring fills the earth with hope, and everything presents a scene of prosperity.
I am always afraid that when the cold autumn comes, the trees in Ye Er will turn yellow and the grass will wither. w
The river runs to the sea, and when will it return to the west?
A lazy youth, a lousy age.
Modern translation of ancient poems
Sunflowers flourish in the garden,
The crystal morning dew rises in the sun.
Spring fills the earth with hope,
Everything is thriving.
Often afraid of the cold autumn coming,
The leaves are yellow and the grass is withered. w
Hundreds of rivers flow eastward into the sea,
When can I go back to the west?
If teenagers don't work hard in time,
You can only regret it for a lifetime when you are old. w
[Reading Appreciation]
This is a poem that combines scene, philosophy and understanding of life. By describing the alternation of seasons and the rise and fall of living things, we sigh that time is gone forever like running water, and then advise people to make use of the precious years of their prime to make progress and work hard, and never regret it when they get old because they waste their time. Especially the last two sentences, not only point out the theme of the whole poem, but also inspire generations of teenagers. w
This poem uses a series of metaphors to illustrate that we should cherish time and work hard as soon as possible. The first four sentences of this poem paint us a beautiful spring scene. There are dewdrops on the green sunflowers in the garden. After sunrise, the dew dried and the sunflowers were bathed in the sun. Everything in the world is blessed by the rain and dew of nature in spring, and shines with unparalleled brilliance. The fifth and sixth sentences describe nature from the opposite side, that is, from prosperity to decline, from growth to extinction, from young to old. When autumn comes, they will lose their bright luster and turn yellow and fade. Everything has ups and downs, and people also have a process from adolescence to old age, but plants can go on, but people's time can't go back. The poet inserted the seventh and eighth sentences here, and euphemistically expressed the positive truth with the metaphor that a hundred rivers will never return to the sea. This not only deepens the truth to be told, but also strengthens the power of persuasion. Technically, it is "ready", conceptually, it is "simple" and "in-depth". Finally, it comes down to nine or twelve sentences. If you don't cherish time and work hard when you are young, you will only be sad when you are old!
Starting from Green Sunflower, the whole poem associates the changes of the four seasons and compares rivers, and draws the conclusion that we should seize the time and work hard. The metaphor is obvious. This poem thinks that life is fleeting from the beautiful scenery of youth in front of us, and encourages young people to cherish time, make warnings and inspire people to forge ahead. w

"Yuefu" was an official position in charge of music in ancient times, and the emperors of Qin and Western Han dynasties all had "Yuefu orders". Yuefu is large in scale, and its function is to manage court music and adopt folk songs and music. After Wei and Jin Dynasties, all poems sung by Yuefu organs in Han Dynasty were called Yuefu poems. The basic principle of Han Yuefu's creation is "feeling sadness and joy, starting from things". Decorative techniques such as fu, bi, xing, intertextuality and repeated chorus are often used, and emotions are expressed by spreading, comparing and contrasting techniques. This song "Long Songs" represents this feature. The vast majority of Yuefu poems handed down from the Han Dynasty have been included in Yuefu poems compiled by Guo Maoqian, a Song Dynasty poet.
