What do you mean, you're poor and strong, and you don't fall into the blue sky?

It means: Although we are in a difficult situation, we should be more ethical and never give up our lofty aspirations. Even if you drink from the fountain of greed.

1, the original excerpt

Ha ha! Bad luck, bad luck. Feng Tang is easy to get old, but Li Guang is hard to seal. Qu Jiayi is in Changsha, not without a master; Is there no time to escape from Hongliang to Haiqu? A gentleman plays it by ear and knows the world. When you are old and strong, would you rather be moved? Poverty is strong, not falling into the sky.

I feel that Chanquan is very cool, but I am still very happy after doing it. Although Beihai is on credit, it can be accepted; The cold corner has gone, and the mulberry is not late. Meng has noble taste and is free to serve the country; Ruan Ji is crazy, how can he cry to the end of the road!

2. Translation

Oh! Everyone's timing is different, and the fate of life is not smooth. Feng Tang is prone to aging, but Li Guang is rare. Jia Yi was wronged and demoted to Changsha, not because there was no monarch, but because Hongliang fled to Qilu seaside. Isn't this an era of political prosperity? Only a gentleman knows the opportunity, and a prudent man knows his own destiny.

Although you are old, you should be more ambitious. How to change your mood when you are old? Although the situation is difficult, we should be more ethical and never give up our lofty aspirations. Even if you drink from the fountain of greed, you still feel refreshed, and even if you are on a dry main road, you are extremely happy.

Although Beihai is far away, the palaces of Yahao can be connected. Although the morning has passed, it is not too late to cherish the night. Meng Changjun's thought is noble, but he has the enthusiasm of serving the country in vain; Ruan Ji is free, how can he cry like him!

Wang Bo's Preface to Wang Tengting in Tang Dynasty

Extended information 1. appreciate

(1) The sentence pattern is patchy and rhythmic.

The full text is mainly composed of four or six sentences, with four or six miscellaneous sentences. Seven sentences, six sentences, four sentences, three sentences, two sentences and even one sentence are used alternately according to the needs of ideographic expression, so that the rhythm is clear and the content is integrated. Generally speaking, two words are used to express feelings (there are two places in the article: "Hehe" and "Alas").

Three sentences and four sentences are used at the beginning or turning point of a topic. A combination of six or seven sentences is a plain narrative. Four or six sentences or four or six sentences are used together as the unfolding part of narrative or lyric. There is only one word "Bo", which refers to oneself and expresses Teton. In this way, the writing of the whole article is ups and downs and natural circulation.

(2) Poems are beautifully decorated and full of flowers.

The whole article uses antithetical sentences, which have both literal and phonological meanings. For example, "the sky is vast and the universe is infinite; I am full of sorrow and I know a lot. " "QuGuYi in changsha, not ownerless; Loud in the sea, is it lack of time? " "Sunset and lonely Qi Fei, autumn waters and sky are the same color" and so on. One sentence is flat and even, and the upper and lower sentences are flat and even.

This emphasis on melody does not affect the expression of meaning, and the sentences written are cadence, musical and poetic. This preface, such as Treasure of One Thing, Cai Jun's Insanity, Purple Electric Green Frost, Jade Bird Huanglong, Suiyuan Bamboo, Shui Ye Zhu Hua, etc., is typical of paying attention to diction. In this way, the article is colorful and pleasing to the eye.

(3) using allusions, concise and implicit

This preface uses many allusions to describe lyricism, some are historical stories, some are predecessors' sentences, and the techniques used are different, some are very clear, such as "Feng Tang is easy to get old, Li Guang is difficult to seal"; Some are secretly used, such as "greedy springs and cold, dry and happy."

Some are being used, such as "Meng has noble taste and is free to serve the country"; Some of them are used backwards, such as "Ruan Ji is rampant, how can you cry at the end of the road?" The use of allusions enhances the expressive effect of the article.

2. Introduction to the author

Wang Bo (about 650-676), Zi 'an, Han nationality, was a writer in the Tang Dynasty. Longmen (now Hejin, Shanxi Province), a native of Gujiangzhou, was born in a Confucian family, and was called "Wang Luo" and "four outstanding men in the early Tang Dynasty" with Yang Jiong and Lu.

Wang Bo was smart and studious since he was a child. According to Old Tang Book, he was able to write articles at the age of six, and he was known as a "child prodigy". At the age of nine, I read Yan Shigu's Notes on Hanshu and wrote ten volumes of Finger Defects to correct my mistakes. At the age of sixteen, he was appointed Saburo at the request of Su You Branch. He was kicked out of Pei Wang Fu for "cockfighting".

After that, Wang Bo spent three years traveling in Bashu mountains and rivers and wrote a lot of poems. After returning to Chang 'an, he asked Zhou Guo to join the army. When he joined the army, he was demoted twice for killing government slaves privately. In August of the 3rd year of Shang Dynasty (676), Tang Gaozong returned from visiting his father and drowned across the sea.

He is good at five laws and five unique skills, and his representative works include "Farewell to Vice Governor Du to Shu". The main literary achievement is parallel prose, which is the best in quantity and quality. His masterpiece is Preface to Wang Teng Pavilion.
