Long song (excerpt)
HanYueFu
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.
The river runs to the sea, and when will it return to the west?
A lazy youth, a lousy age.

The river flows to the East China Sea, how can it flow back? If you don't try to make a difference when you are young, it's useless to regret and be sad when you are old.
Appreciation of ancient poetry
Yuefu poetry is a genre that can best represent the achievements of Chinese poetry. It often uses fu, bi, xing, intertextuality, and repeated singing to express its feelings, and this song "Long Songs" represents this feature.
The phrase "Sunflowers in the Green Garden" describes the scene of spring. Morning, morning dew, green sunflowers and sunshine, what a vibrant picture. Spring returns to the earth, everything grows, and nature gives the world spring and grace. The poet's joy and gratitude permeated the back of the paper, and then he expressed his tragic mood. The word "mourning" is both a description of the bleak scene and an expression of regret. Then it is associated with the return of hundreds of rivers to the sea, which is used to describe the fleeting time. Finally, he lamented that "young people don't work hard, but the elderly are sad" and called on people to cherish time and make a difference. The whole poem rises from the green sunflower and is associated with the changes of the four seasons; Compared with rivers, it is concluded that we should hurry up and work hard, and its comparison and promotion methods are obvious.
Long song is the first of two pieces of Harmony and Flat Tone written by Han Yuefu. "Long song" is suitable for expressing deep affection. This poem is expressive, descriptive, lyrical, sighing and encouraging, which makes the whole poem full of delicate connotations and endless implications. It not only inherits the tradition of "singing and chanting", but also has great formal aesthetic feeling, which is convenient for repeated chanting.
