Extended data:
This poem is one of Han Yuefu's poems. Long-line songs refer to freestyle singing with "long singing" as the tune.
This poem begins with "Sunflowers in the Garden", and then the water flows to the sea and never returns, indicating that time is like running water and never returns. Finally, we should persuade people to cherish their youth and work hard, and don't wait until they are old to regret it. This poem uses things to express meaning. First, it uses the sunflower in the garden as a metaphor. "Green" means it is flourishing.
Young people don't work hard, but old people are sad. "This sentence doesn't need translation. Because it's too straightforward and profound, it's really close to Tao's generalization, and it doesn't need to be polished, just like this sentence, "Young people don't work hard, but old people are sad." "
So young people should cherish time. A day's plan lies in the morning, and a year's plan lies in the spring. What about the life plan? Of course, it is young! Therefore, it is the most critical point of this poem to make people rise up and give people a warning.
So if we go back to this theme, we will know that since it mainly talks about cherishing time and working hard, it is a hymn of youth, and its focus is actually on time.
Therefore, from "the morning dew waits for the sun" to "the glory of all things", to "the decline of yellow flowers", and then to "when will the hundred rivers return to the sea in the east and return to the west?" In fact, they all talk about the passage of time, and finally put forward the comparison between "juvenile strong" and "boss". This reasoning is natural. Therefore, apart from the theme, this poem has two important points. First, it embodies the strong concept of time in China culture.
In fact, under the sunshine and rain in the whole spring, everything is scrambling to grow. Because they are all afraid that autumn is coming, they all know that autumn wind will wither a hundred herbs. The rhythm of life in nature is like this, and so is life.
If a person doesn't work hard when he is in a good time, it will be too late to regret when he is old. This poem reflects on the fleeting life from the beautiful scenery of youth in front of us, encourages young people to cherish time, gives warnings and urges people to rise.
