What does it mean when a dog chases a rabbit and then embarks on a road of no return?

"The dog chases the rabbit and then embarks on the road of no return" means: "The dog chasing the rabbit means there is no future."

The whole sentence is: "I spent three years fishing and playing with birds. It will ruin your life. Once you learn how to chase a dog, you will never return! If you fall in love with an eagle, you will look at the sky with tears in your eyes."

Interpretation: Three years of high consumption and raising birds. A dog will ruin his life; a dog who catches a rabbit will have no future; a person who likes hawks may be lonely.

These jingles were used by the ancients to imply that those young men lost their ambition by playing with things and did not do their job properly. Those young masters spend all day doing nothing, and in the end, no matter how much money they have at home, they have used up all the money. But now these have a new meaning. Now it mainly refers to the relatively high cost of time and money invested in cultivating these hobbies.
