Although the tortoise lives long? Cao Cao
Although the tortoise has a long life, it still has its moments.
a viper rides the fog, but it turns out to be dust.
an old horse lurks, aiming at a thousand miles.
the martyrs are full of courage in their twilight years.
the period of surplus and contraction is not only in the sky;
you can live forever if you nourish your body.
fortunately, even, the song sings with ambition.
although the tortoise lives long
Cao Cao in the Three Kingdoms
Although the tortoise lives long, there are still times when it is over.
a viper rides the fog, but it turns out to be dust.
an old horse lurks, aiming at a thousand miles.
the martyrs are full of courage in their twilight years.
the period of surplus and contraction is not only in the sky;
you can live forever if you nourish your body.
fortunately, even, the song sings with ambition.
Note
① This poem was written in the twelfth year of Jian 'an (27), when Cao Cao was fifty-three years old. The poem combines philosophical thinking, generosity, passion and artistic image, showing an active attitude towards life.
② "tortoise": Although tortoise can live a long life, it still dies. God turtle, the legendary psychic turtle, can live for thousands of years. Longevity, longevity. Actually, completely, completely.
③ "viper" sentence: even if viper can ascend to heaven by fog, it will eventually die and become dust. The viper, a mythical creature similar to the dragon in legend, can drive clouds and fog.
④ Ji (j ?): Maxima. Li √: manger.
⑤ martyr: an ambitious person. Old age: old age.
⑥ surplus and contraction: refers to the life span of people. Surplus, long. Shrink, short.
⑦ Dan: only, only.
⑧ nourishing: maintaining physical and mental health.
pet-name ruby: for a long time.
1: fortunately, even the sentence "zai" was added during the concert, which has nothing to do with the text.
Although the life of the tortoise is very long, there is still a time to end it.
Although the viper can fly in fog, it will eventually die and turn to dust.
The old swift horse is crouching in the stable, and its ambition is still to gallop a thousand miles a day.
ambitious people will never cease to strive for progress in their later years.
the length of a person's life is not only determined by heaven.
as long as you take good care of yourself, you can also live longer.
I'm so lucky. Let's express our thoughts and feelings by singing.
