Original poem:
Long Songs in Han Dynasty: Anonymous
The trees in the garden are lush, and the crystal dew rises in the sun.
Spring fills the earth with hope, and everything presents a scene of prosperity.
I am always afraid that when the cold autumn comes, the trees in Ye Er will turn yellow and the grass will wither.
The river runs to the sea, and when will it return to the west?
A lazy youth, a lousy age.
Explanation:
Sunflowers in the garden are lush, and the crystal clear morning dew is waiting for the sun to shine.
Spring brings sunshine and rain to the earth, and everything is full of vitality and prosperity.
I am always afraid that the cold autumn will come, the leaves will turn yellow and the grass will wither.
When can a hundred rivers run to the sea and return to the west?
If you don't work hard when you are young, it's no use being sad when you are old.

The green sunflowers in the garden are still dewy. After sunrise, the dew dried and the sunflowers were bathed in the sun. Everything in the world is blessed by the rain and dew of nature, shining with unparalleled brilliance.
However, when autumn comes, they will lose their bright luster, turn yellow and fade. Everything has its ups and downs, and people will go from teenagers to old age. Time is like a water sample of a big river, which flows eastward into the sea and never returns. If you don't cherish time and work hard when you are young, you will be sad when you are old!
