The ancients had great backbone. What poems did they leave behind?

1, an old horse crouching tiger, aiming at a thousand miles; The martyrs were full of courage in their later years. -From Cao Cao's "Although Returning to Life" in the Eastern Han Dynasty

Interpretation of vernacular Chinese: although the old swift horse crouches beside the manger, its ambition is still galloping thousands of miles; Even in his later years, people who aim high will not stop trying to make progress.

2, wealth can't be lewd, poverty can't be moved, and power can't be bent. -quoted from Mencius Teng Wengong in the Spring and Autumn Period.

Interpretation of vernacular Chinese: when you have money, you can control yourself from profligacy; Don't change your will when you are poor; When you are strong, you won't do anything wrong.

3. Who hasn't died since ancient times? Take the heart of Dan and follow history. —— Excerpted from Wen Tianxiang's "Crossing Dingyang" in the Song Dynasty.

Interpretation of vernacular Chinese: Who can live forever since ancient times? I want to leave a patriotic heart that reflects history.

4, a thousand hammers cut the mountain, and the fire burns when it is idle. I'm not afraid of fractures. I want to leave my innocence in the world. -Yu Qian's Ode to Lime in Ming Dynasty

Explain in vernacular Chinese: (limestone) can only be mined from the deep mountains after thousands of tempering. It regards the burning of raging fire as a very common thing. Even if it is shattered, it is not afraid. It is willing to leave a clean body in the world.

5, the ancients learned nothing, and it will take a long time to get old. What you get on paper is so shallow that you never know what you have to do. -Lu You's Reading on a Winter Night in the Song Dynasty.

Interpretation of vernacular Chinese: the ancients spared no effort in learning, and often did not achieve anything when they were old. After all, the knowledge gained from books is not perfect. If you want to understand the truth deeply, you must practice it yourself.
