Said by: Bao Zhao's "Zhun" It was difficult to go in the Northern and Southern Dynasties.
Original text:
If you pour water on the ground, it will flow in different directions, and the difference in life is not consistent.
Life is fixed, how can you always complain about self-pity?
Drink some wine to comfort yourself and sing "It's hard to walk", and the singing is interrupted by drinking.
If the heart is not vegetation, how can there be no feelings? Want to say or say, and want to do, no longer say anything.
Translation:
Pour water on a flat surface, and it will flow in different directions. Life is different.
Life is a gift, how can you feel sorry for yourself all day?
Drink some wine to comfort yourself, singing is difficult to walk, and singing and drinking interrupts a cup.
People's hearts are not vegetation, how can they have no feelings? If you want to say it, don't say it. Don't say anything more.

Creative background:
During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the separatist regime and social unrest. At that time, the gentry system was implemented, and Bao Zhao was born in poverty. Although he is eager to realize his personal value by virtue of his talent, he is hindered by social reality and secular prejudice.
Therefore, poetry is often used to express his desire to make contributions, to express the pain of being suppressed by the poor, to convey the generous voice of the poor, and to be full of social dissatisfaction and rebellious spirit. This kind of anxiety and anger is manifested in his works, which forms the unique style of his poetry.
Poetry started suddenly, and then began to write about the phenomenon that water spilled on the ground and flowed everywhere. There is neither a magnificent scene nor a peaceful and beautiful artistic conception. However, in this ordinary natural phenomenon that is neither magical nor mysterious, the poet suddenly realized a similar philosophy of life.
The author uses the metaphor of "water" to describe people, and the "water" flowing in different directions of "east, west, north and south" just compares the noble and humble people in different occasions in social life. The flow direction of "water" is caused by topography, and people's situation is determined by family status.
Therefore, the first two sentences vividly reveal the irrationality of the gate valve system in the real society by describing the common phenomenon of diarrhea. The poet's dynamic description of the "diarrhea" and "flow" of water creates a momentum that surprises readers. As Shen Deqian said in the Qing Dynasty, "If the Yellow River falls into the sky, go to the East China Sea." This brushwork only twists and turns to express the poet's grief and depression caused by anger and injustice.
