The whole poem is as follows:
Although the tortoise has a long life, it still has its time.
A poisonous snake flew in the fog and was finally covered with dust.
The old horse lurks, aiming at a thousand miles.
The martyrs were full of courage in their later years.
The surplus and contraction period is not only in the sky;
Blessings that nourish grace can last forever.
I am glad to use this poem to express my inner desire.
The translation is as follows:
Although the tortoise has a long life, its life will end one day;
Although Teng snake can break through clouds and fog, it will eventually die and turn to dust.
Although the old swift horse is squatting by the manger, its ambition is still to gallop thousands of miles;
Even in his later years, people who aim high will not stop trying to make progress.
The length of a person's life is not just determined by heaven;
Take care of your body and mind, and you will live longer.
Very lucky. Use singing to express your thoughts and feelings.

works appreciation
The most valuable value of Guinian Shou is that it is a real poem, which opens up a new era of poetry. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty deposed hundreds of schools of thought, worshiping Confucianism alone, and imprisoned the thoughts of the Han people for three or four hundred years. As a result, the literati in the Han Dynasty could not write poems, but only wrote great poems praising the merits of emperors and endlessly annotating Confucian classics, and the literature with real feelings and individuality could not be developed.
Until the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the world fell apart, stormy, political, ideological and cultural changes took place. As a hero in the world, Cao Cao, who loves poetry and songs, took the lead in going astray and brought a free and active atmosphere to the literary world. He is surrounded by a large number of literati, such as "Seven Scholars of Jian 'an", who live in a war-torn era and often show impassioned thoughts and feelings.
In particular, Cao Cao wrote poems on the pommel horse, which was tragic and generous, shocking ancient and modern times, unprecedented and unprecedented. The hearty style of this passionate poem was later called "Jian 'an Style", with Cao Cao as the most prominent representative.
