Make Way for Tomorrow
Qianhetan in Ming Dynasty
Tomorrow after tomorrow, there are so many tomorrows.
Waiting for tomorrow, everything will be wasted.
The world is tired of tomorrow, and tomorrow will be infinitely experienced.
The faint water flows east and has fallen west since ancient times.
What will tomorrow be like in a hundred years? Please listen to my song tomorrow.
Vernacular translation
Always waiting for tomorrow, how many tomorrows!
Waiting for tomorrow every day, but doing nothing, wasting time.
If the world is hurt by "tomorrow" like me, it will soon find itself old as the days go by.
Only by living in the present can we appreciate the joy of watching the river flow eastward in the morning and the sunset in the evening.
A hundred years tomorrow, how much can there be? Please listen to my song tomorrow, don't waste today's time.

Creation background
Master Qian and Qian Qian, who call themselves the floodplain, are freaks. Like Li Bai, a poet, he especially loves drinking and "binge drinking".
Qian Fu often scolds others by drinking, so that many people don't like him, but he is especially loyal. Not only is his character good, but Qian Fu's poems are also famous.
He was a child prodigy and could write articles at the age of seven.
In the third year of Hongzhi, Qian Fu was the top scholar, and the official went to the Hanlin Academy to write, and poetry was regarded as contemporary.
But only three years later, Qian Fu was tired of official life. Under the guise of being seriously ill, I will never be an official again.
Although he was notoriously talented and enjoyed his job, Qian Fu never relaxed his demands on himself, but studied harder. Song of Tomorrow is his spur and request to himself.
