"Lang Tao Sha Ling·The Gurgling Rain Outside the Curtain"
Author: Li Yu Five Dynasties
The gurgling rain outside the curtain indicates the waning mood of spring . Luo quilt cannot bear the cold at midnight. In the dream, I didn't know that I was a guest, and I was greedy for pleasure for a while.
Don’t lean on the railing when you are alone. There is no limit to the world. It is easy to say goodbye but difficult to see others. The flowing water and falling flowers are gone in spring, and the world is in heaven and earth.
Appreciation:
First write about waking up from a dream and then write about the dream. First of all, I dreamed about it at the fifth watch. The thin quilt could not stop the invasion of the morning cold. Outside the curtain, there was the constant gurgling of spring rain, and the lonely and scattered waning spring; this situation made him feel even more miserable. With the two words "in a dream", I recall the events in my dream. In my sleep, I seemed to have forgotten that I was a prisoner. It seemed that I was still in the gorgeous palace of my motherland, craving for a moment of pleasure. But after I woke up from the dream, "I thought of Yulou Yao." The shadow of the palace shines on Qinhuai in the sky" ("Lang Tao Sha"), but I felt doubly painful.
"Golden Threaded Clothes"
Author: Du Qiuniang, Tang Dynasty
I advise you not to cherish your golden threaded clothes, but to cherish your youth.
Flowers are ready to be folded when they bloom, but don’t wait until there are no flowers to break branches.
Appreciation:
The meaning of this poem is very simple and can be summed up in one sentence: "Don't let the good times pass you by". This is originally a kind of thought and emotion that everyone has. However, it makes readers feel that although its emotions are simple but strong, they can linger in people's hearts for a long time and have an incredible charm. Each verse of it seems to be repeating the single meaning "Don't miss the good times!" And each verse contains subtle changes, repetition but not monotony, looping but slow, forming a beautiful melody, chanting repeatedly to emphasize cherishing time. Don't miss out on your youth. Literally speaking, it is a bold singing of youth and love, and a candid expression of passion. However, behind the words, there is still the main theme of "cherishing time". Therefore, if the purpose of "taking pleasure in time" seems low, if the purpose of "cherishing time" seems to be swaying and thought-provoking.
"Song of Tomorrow"
Author: Qian Fu, Ming Dynasty
Tomorrow comes tomorrow, there are so many tomorrows.
If I live until tomorrow, everything will be wasted.
If the world is tired of tomorrow, spring will pass and autumn will come.
Look at the water flowing eastward in the morning, and the sun setting in the west at dusk.
What will happen in a hundred years? Please listen to my song tomorrow.
Appreciation:
This poem mentions "tomorrow" seven times, repeatedly warning people to cherish time, do today's things today, don't put it off until tomorrow, and don't waste time. The meaning of the poem is simple, the language is as clear as words, the reasoning is easy to understand, and it is very educational.
"Occasionally"
Author: Zhu Xi, Song Dynasty
It is easy to learn when you are young, but difficult to succeed when you are old, so an inch of time cannot be taken lightly.
I haven’t realized the dream of spring grass in the pond, but the phoenix leaves in front of the steps have already sounded in autumn.
Appreciation:
The days of youth are easy to pass away, but it is difficult to succeed in learning, so every inch of time must be cherished and not let go easily. Before I woke up from the beautiful spring scenery, the sycamore leaves in front of the steps were already rustling in the autumn wind.
"Huanxisha·A new song and a glass of wine"
Author: Yan Shu? Song Dynasty
A new song and a glass of wine, the weather is the same as last year. When does the sun set?
There is no choice but the flowers fall away, and the familiar swallow returns. The fragrant path in the small garden wanders alone.
Appreciation:
Listen to a new song and drink a glass of wine, or the same weather as last year. When will the setting sun come back?
I have no choice but to do anything when the flowers fall away. The returning swallow seems familiar, wandering alone on the flower path in the small garden.
