It's a long way to go, Xiu Yuan. I will seek my bosom friend up and down.
Now it is generally extended to: lose no time to find the right way to solve the problems we face. The road ahead is so long and far, and I have made up my mind to persistently find my ideal lifestyle.
Dragon: It's a long way. Its: lead the way. Xiu Yuan: In the long run.

Original fragment
If you want to stay less energetic, it will be dusk.
I told xi that he should be cautious and look forward to it, but don't push it.
There is a long way to go in Xiu Yuan, and I will go up and down.
After drinking too much, the horses in the salty pond always rest on hibiscus flowers.
When the wood breaks, blow the sun and chat with the sheep.
Fragment translation
I wanted to stay in Lingsuo for a while, and the sunset was dusk.
I ordered him to stop whipping and go slow, lest the sun get close to that mountain.
The road ahead is long, and I will pursue my ideal wholeheartedly.
Let my horse drink in the salty pool and tie the reins to the hibiscus tree.
If I break a branch to block the sun, I can wander leisurely for a while.
Writing background
Qu Yuan is rich in knowledge and has lofty ideals. He advocated amending the law internally and employing people externally. The die-hards in the aristocratic group of Chu constantly attacked and excluded Qu Yuan, making it impossible to realize his political ideal of fighting for it all his life. He used poetry to pour out his sad thoughts and lingering emotions.
Make an appreciative comment
He used romanticism in this poem and made a lyrical description: starting from Cangwu in the morning and arriving at the hanging garden in the evening. How tired it is to run around all day! I want to have a rest outside the palace gate, but I can't! Time is pressing and it's getting dark. I asked xi to stop driving. The cave is in front of us. Don't go near it! The distance in front of us is so long and so far, and I have made up my mind to persistently find the ideal lifestyle.
Li Sao is a poem about Qu Yuan's life. Narration in the form of romance and lyricism is its main style. The flexible alternation of fu, bi and xing is the biggest feature of his language use. It expresses the idea that if Chu wants to be strong, it must carry out American politics. He expressed his dissatisfaction and remorse after the failure to implement the US government, and his firm belief in continuing to implement the US government. He said that he would rather die than betray the king of Chu if he had no chance to do American politics again.
