Thousands of students were suffering, saying only that there were treasures in books, and that classics and history could not govern the current world, so they went to sea to engage in business.

This is a poem describing ancient students, which means:

Many students are suffering,

It only says that there is a golden house in the book.

However, classics and history could not solve the problems of the present world,

so they became angry and turned to the commercial trend.

This poem describes the hardship and helplessness of ancient students in studying, and their eventual transformation into business. The learning path of ancient students was full of difficulties and challenges. They often had to go through long periods of hard reading and in-depth thinking. However, what they learned did not directly solve real-life problems, which led some to seek other solutions. This poem reflects the social reality of the time and people's expectations for education, while also showing the students' courage and determination.
