The anonymous birth year of the original text and translation is less than 100.

Born less than 100 years old Original: born less than 100 years old, always worried about being a thousand years old. The days are short and the nights are long. Why not travel by candlelight? If you are happy to arrive in time, why can't you stay here? Fools cherish expenses, but they are despised by future generations. Fairy Wang Ziqiao, it's hard to wait.

A person living in the world is generally less than 100 years old, but his heart is always worried about the sorrow after the Millennium. Why bother? Since you always complain that the days are so short and the nights are so long, why not take a candle and play around the clock? Life should be carpe diem! Why wait until next year? People who are unhappy all day, people who just want to accumulate wealth for their children and grandchildren, are particularly stupid. Unscrupulous children will only laugh at their ancestors and will not enjoy happiness! I'm afraid it's hard to wait for an immortal Rainbow Ziqiao!

Note 1. The day is short and the night is long: "grasp" and stick to it. Walking by Candlelight is still a long night tour. 2. Laizi: Because grass grows once a year, it is an extension to teach it as "year". "Come here" means "next year". 3. Fee: Fee refers to money. 4. Sniff: a contemptuous smile. 5. Immortal Wang Ziqiao: "Wang Ziqiao", one of the famous immortals in ancient legends. "Period", wait, it means that the matter of becoming an immortal is not something that ordinary people can count on. Explanation: This poem is similar to "the east is high and long" and "rushing to the east". This poem emphasizes the idea of eating, drinking and having fun in time.

I can't understand the ideological significance of 100 years old.

Judging from the whole poem, this poem satirizes two kinds of suitors in the world with loose and broad-minded words.

First of all, those who are stingy with money and "cherish expenses" were born under 1000, but they are stupid enough to worry that they are1000. The absurd connection between "one hundred years" and "one thousand years" reveals the ridiculous situation of those who live miserly and "cherish expenses".

The days are short and the nights are long. Why not travel by candlelight? For those who "swim", the meaning of "swim" and "eat, drink and be merry" mentioned later is different from that understood by ordinary people. Travel and happiness are not the indulgence of singing and dancing, but an active and healthy enjoyment of life, expressing feelings, talking about wine and poetry, and forgetting frustration and frustration. This kind of happiness is also based on the love of life, showing the pain of life without a way out with broad-minded and wild thinking.

As long as we look at the Jian 'an era when the literati had a way out, this sigh of eating, drinking and having fun was quickly replaced by the generous voice that hurt people's livelihood and made contributions in time, and we can understand this. In fact, it is a mockery of those who advocate immortality. However, this expectation of meeting immortals was finally found to be an empty dream in the depressed late Han Dynasty.

Artistic feature

Doubts about the value of life often seem to be due to the depression of life. Looking at life in depression, many traditional ideas will collapse in questioning eyes. This collection of poems throws a bucket of cold water on two suitors in the world with loose and broad-minded words.

The first is the ridicule of those who are stingy with money, which accounts for almost the main space of the whole poem. This kind of people, as ridiculed in the poem "The Mountain has a Pivot" in the Book of Songs, tang style: "Children have clothes and flowers are dragged (wrapped); You have a car and a horse, and you can't ride without a car. If he dies, others will be happy. " You don't know how to enjoy wealth and goods in time just by hard work. What they are worried about is nothing more than the livelihood of future generations. In the poet's view, this is simply ridiculous: "If you are born before you are a hundred years old, you will always worry about your Millennium"-even if you can live to be a hundred years old, you can only worry about your children for a hundred years. This is common sense that even children know; Besides, you may not live to be a hundred years old, but it is foolish to worry about chitose. Starting with the absurd connection between "a hundred years" and "a thousand years", it is wonderful to reveal the absurd modality of those who live miserly lives. The next two sentences are even stranger: "The days are short and the nights are long, so why not swim by candlelight!" People who swim have fun. It is sensational enough to immerse all the days of life in pleasure, but the poet still "suffers" that the days are too short, so he is whimsical and persuades people to spend their rest time in the evening on pleasure. Unfortunately, he can remember. It's dark at night, so I'm afraid I'll lose my fun. The poet has already prepared a plan: then simply swim with a candle in your hand! -the idea of pleasure is expressed in such a * * * way, not only in the poetry circle of the Han Dynasty, but also in the whole history of ancient poetry. I'm afraid this is a shocking sound. As for those misers who diligently pursue the treasure of gold kiln and silver mine, it is even more staggering. These are the first four sentences (Fang's Zhao Wei), which were lamented by later poets as "fantastic ideas and extraordinary brushwork". The two are at odds with each other, and they clearly oppose the life attitude of lifelong anxiety and indulgence.

The poet seems to have expected that advocating such a dissolute idea will be criticized by the secular. It's not that they don't want to enjoy it, but that they often hold the philosophy of "no pains, no gains" and postpone the limited enjoyment of life to the distant future. The poet flatly denied this philosophy: if you want to eat and drink, you can't wait until next year if you want to be "timely". The poem doesn't say why it can't wait until next year. The implication is that it ignites another poem in Nineteen Ancient Poems: "Life is like a gift, and life is not solid"-no one knows what will happen to Laizi, and suddenly he becomes a "dead man" (Nineteen Ancient Poems). At that time, it was too late to enjoy himself. This is the painful experience of many lives behind the broad-minded word "eat, drink and be merry in time" in the poet's world. From this point of view, it is particularly foolish for those who "cherish expenses" to do nothing all day and just want to save some property for their children and grandchildren. Because they were born "sparing money" and only raised a group of idle children and grandchildren. It is impossible to appreciate the virtues accumulated by ancestors when these unscrupulous descendants squander freely. Maybe they will be hysterical, and those who laugh at their ancestors will not enjoy happiness. As Fang Tingjue said, "Fools cherish the expense and are lighter than later generations" (Selected Works). The acerbity of his sarcastic remarks does have the power to "wake up drunk dreams" for fools.

So far, the whole poem has been written, and the pen has been aimed at those who "cherish the cost". It was only at the end that it suddenly "rolled back" and pointed to another pursuit in the world: worshipping immortals. Xianxian, from Qin Shihuang to Han Wudi, did many stupid things. Even the common people in the Han Dynasty said that Wang Ziqiao was taken to Songshan Mountain by a mysterious Taoist and finally became immortal by a crane. In Han Yuefu, Wang Ziqiao was left behind, and he rode on the White Deer Plain. Down the river, Wang Ziqiao ". However, by the end of the depressed Han Dynasty, this expectation of meeting immortals was finally found to be just an empty dream (see "Nineteen Ancient Poems Driving East Gate": "Seeking immortals by food is mostly caused by medicine. It is better to drink wine and put on tens of thousands and sue "). Therefore, for those who are still dreaming of "becoming immortal", the poet does not need to spend more ink, but simply stops with a simple blow by mocking the potential of those who "cherish the expense": "Immortal Wang Ziqiao, it is hard to wait! This conclusion seems to escape the main idea of the whole poem and suddenly turn to "immortals", but the poet's original intention is actually to "awaken" those who "cherish fees", that is, Zhu Jun pointed out in Nineteen Ancient Poems: "Immortals cannot be learned, and the more you know, the greater the stupidity." Just a light blow, even if the fairy admirer is cold, takes care of the meaning of "eat, drink and be merry" in the last article: the knot is still broad-minded and ingenious.

Such a fantasy work that expresses "eat, drink and be merry" in wild language seems to really awaken many people's dreams of life; Therefore, some researchers regard this kind of poetry as a sign of "awakening of human nature" in Han Dynasty. But if you think about it carefully, those who "always worry about Chitose" and "cherish expenses" are of course stupid; But it may not be a sober attitude to say that the value of life lies in satisfying one's indulgence in time. In fact, this attitude is probably due to the inability to live a depressed life of social unrest and shallow life in the late Han Dynasty. For the underclass with no way out, it is just another dream after waking up from many dreams (such as "achievement" and "fame and fortune")-they can't really live a happy life of "well dressed and plain", "Why not travel by candlelight"? Therefore, this kind of poetry is not so much an expression of "awakening of human nature" as an expression of broad-minded and wild thoughts. As long as we look at the Jian 'an era when the literati had a way out, this sigh of eating, drinking and having fun was quickly replaced by the generous voice that hurt people's livelihood and made contributions in time, and we can understand this.

Born less than 100 years old, his creative background is one of the Nineteen Ancient Poems included in Selected Works of Zhaoming. Shan Li of the Tang Dynasty said, "There is an ancient poem, and I don't know its author. Still Yun Meicheng, the question is not clear. There is a saying that the author is Mei Cheng, but Shan Li is noncommittal. When Liang Daizhao, ming prince and Xiao Tong compiled The Selected Works, because the author's name was unknown, it ranked before Li Ling's poems in the Eastern Han Dynasty. It is generally believed that this 19 five-character poem was written in the Eastern Han Dynasty.
