Life rushes by like a white horse, and everyone longs to live a free-spirited, unrestrained life. However, we are often bound by the heavy shackles of matter, like a bird trapped in an invisible golden cage. Although Li Bai spent a lot of money, his pride and ambition of "I am born to be useful, and I will come back when my daughter is gone" makes people's hearts surge, but most of the literati and writers in history live in poverty.
When Li Bai rode a five-flowered horse and wore a golden fur, Du Fu was deeply saddened by the thatched hut being broken by the autumn wind, he witnessed the displacement of the people and the night sheng song of the powerful, his heart was full of endless grief, and finally wrote the sentence "Zhumen wine and meat stink, and the road has frozen bones".
The gap between rich and poor is like an invisible chasm that straddles people and limits our imagination. The pursuit of wealth, both ancient and modern, seems to have become a common goal for everyone. However, how big is the gap between the rich and the poor between people? Lu You, a famous poet in the Southern Song Dynasty, once left a well-known poem called "A Pot Song," which contains only 28 words, but it profoundly reveals the true meaning of life, and the last 14 words even express the rise and fall of life, honor and disgrace.
In fact, in life, we have never really been poor or rich, all of this is just a passing cloud, covering our eyes. Now let's enjoy this psalm full of wisdom.
Chang'an City is drunk with the spring breeze, and the flowers are full of red hats.
Seeing all the things in the world, he has never been rich or poor.
Lu You, the poet who takes wine as his companion and has insight into all things in the world, his wine glass is full of the rise and fall and vicissitudes of the world. It is this experience that makes his poems flow with endless wisdom and insight. In the poem, the prosperity and hustle and bustle of Chang'an leap onto the paper, the wine flag flutters, and on the stone street, the red sedan chair and the beggars in tattered clothes are staggered, and the vivid pictures outline the contrast between wealth and poverty.
The word "drunk" is like Lu You's soul eye, although his body is shaky, his gaze is more sober and sharp than anyone else. He strolled in a drunken mood, looking at the red hat flowers in the crowd, chic and happy, his heart was full of pride and ambition. He groaned as he walked, and he walked and groaned freely, like catkins in the wind, free and unrestrained.
And the last two sentences of the poem are like pearls in the morning light, illuminating the true meaning of life. Whether rich or poor, it is just a passing moment, and the real value does not lie in material abundance, but in the richness of the heart and the inheritance of the spirit. Just like those great writers and talents, although their lives have been bumpy, their works have been passed down through the ages and will forever be recorded in history.
In life, we should not be too attached to material things, but should seek inner strength, so that we can stay sober and calm in the bustling and impetuous world. This poem is like a mirror, reflecting the true meaning of life, allowing us to comprehend and grow in taste.
