The teacher’s ancient poems about our hard work include:
1. Falling red is not a heartless thing, it turns into spring mud to protect the flowers. ——Gong Zizhen, "Miscellaneous Poems of Ji Hai·Part 5"
The fallen flowers falling from the branches are not heartless things. Even if they turn into spring mud, they are willing to cultivate the growth of beautiful spring flowers.
2. Your Majesty has peaches and plums all over the world, so why bother planting more flowers in front of the hall? ——Bai Juyi "Planting Flowers in the Green Wild Hall of Lord Pei Linggong"
Pei Linggong's peach and plum students are all over the world. Where is the need to plant flowers in front of the door and behind the house?
3. There will be a new born next year, and the ten-foot-long dragon and grandson will come around Fengchi. ——Zheng Xie's "Hsinchu"
When new bamboo grows again in the second year, it also begins to breed new bamboos, so that the pond is surrounded by lush young bamboos.
4. New bamboo branches are higher than old bamboo branches, all because of the support of old stems. ——Zheng Xie's "Hsinchu"
The new bamboo can surpass the old bamboo entirely because of the growth and nourishment of the old bamboo.
5. The spring silkworms will not run out until they are dead, and the wax torches will not dry until they turn to ashes. ——Li Shangyin "Untitled·It's hard to say goodbye when we meet"
Spring silkworms don't spin out their cocoons until they die, and candles burn to ashes before the tear-like wax drips dry.
