The apricot blossom I bought, I just saw it bloom after returning from home for ten years. To the west of the rockery and to the east of the medicine garden, the branches are in full bloom.
The flowers bloom and fall quickly, and all of a sudden they are all gone. The white hair is old but sentimental, people are so sympathetic and sentimental. At dusk, I raise my wine and pray to the east wind. May you be a little more generous to her and blow calmly.
2. "Long Song Xing" Wei and Jin Dynasties: Lu Ji
The passing of the sky has brought sorrow to the earth and rivers.
The sundial does not stop when there is an inch of yin, and how can a foot wave spin in vain?
The year goes by with swift and powerful arrows, and the time comes with sharp strings.
In the long term, it is rare to get it, and the surplus is solid and full.
Rong Hua lived long and hard, and donated his body and beauty by himself.
Now that things cannot stop, my life will be extended.
It is about to pass away, and it will take a few seconds.
There is no need to complain about generosity, God is good and natural.
But I hate the lack of fame and lack of publicity in books and silk.
As the year approaches, I sing long songs to take advantage of my leisure time.
Interpretation:
The sun moves from east to west every day, and time passes day by day. It is really sad that the river flows day and night, never to return. The short time never stops, how can waves of this size automatically flow back? The passing and coming of years are as fast as bows and arrows. Very few people can achieve a long life, and very few can live to be a hundred years old.
People's appearance is withering every day, and people's physical strength and spirit are automatically consumed for no reason. It is difficult to stay in life, and it is difficult to extend life span. Living in this world is just a matter of passing away in an instant. Even if you feel resentful about this, it will not help, because this is the law of nature. I just regret that I haven't established a reputation yet and can't leave my name in the annals of history. Before you reach your old age, sing a long song to express your emotions.

Half of the long scales are gone, who can stop the thought of leaving!
Not to mention trying to tie its tail end, even though I am diligent and know that there is no way.
The children struggled hard without sleeping and stayed together laughing and making noise at night.
Morning rooster, please don’t crow, the drums urging you are frightening.
After sitting there for a long time, the lanterns were falling, and when I stood up, I saw that the Big Dipper had tilted sideways.
Will there be no New Year's Eve next year? I'm just afraid that my worries will go wrong again.
Trying to cherish this night, young people can still boast of their spirit.
