On the thought of carpe diem in Han Dynasty

The earliest source of carpe diem is Han Yuefu's poem "Ximenxing": "When a husband is happy, when he is happy."

Ximenxing is a Yuefu poem in Han Dynasty, which belongs to Xiang He Ge Ci Tone Qu. This poem clarifies that human life is short and immortal, so it exhorts people to eat, drink and enjoy life in an all-round way, which contains strong decadent ideas and twists and turns reflect the sharp opposition between ideal and reality and the pursuit spirit of unwilling to give up.

The language of the whole poem is simple and natural, the sentence patterns are patchy and orderly, and the prose sentences are interspersed among them, which is miscellaneous but not chaotic, whole but not stagnant, and the change of rhythm just shows the emotional relaxation.
