On Tang-style Crickets from the Book of Songs

? Cricket in the Tang Dynasty in The Book of Songs is a poem at the end of the year, which expresses the meaning of persuading people to be diligent.

At first, I thought it had something to do with crickets, but it had nothing to do with changing crickets. The ancients often used the response of waiting insects to climate to indicate that the time series was easier. The Book of Songs Wind in July wrote: "In July, I was in the wild, in August, at home, and in October, crickets entered my bed." September at Home and Cricket in the Hall are the same poems. "July" uses the summer calendar, and this poem uses the weekly calendar. September in the summer calendar is November in the weekly calendar. The poet was deeply impressed by the cricket's entry into the house in November and lamented that "it's too late to be old".

? The poet moved from the wild to the house, and the weather became colder and colder. He thought that "the season has suddenly changed" and this year has reached the end of the year. "20 years old, too late, 20 years old, too late to serve", aroused the feelings of the passage of time. So the poet has the idea of eating, drinking and having fun in time. However, the poet also said, "Think about one's duties, think about others and worry about others", reminding people not to enjoy themselves too much, to worry about one's duties and to have a sense of hardship. "Good music is not lacking, good songs. Happiness is not lacking, and good people wander. The poet seems to be telling himself and others to be "happy", but "indispensable" and have moderate enjoyment, that is, "indispensable happiness".

? The poet feels that time flies because of his old age, and he has the idea of eating, drinking and having fun because of his feeling that time flies. However, he believes that eating, drinking and having fun should be moderate, and that he should "think about his duties, his career and his worries", and thus admonish himself and others to follow the example of "good people" and encourage himself. Explain that the poet has the idea that life is easy to get old and eat, drink and be merry in time; I also have the ambition to be a saint.

? Poets say few words, let time fly, enjoy life, work hard, have ambitions, and describe it extremely delicately. It's the end of the year, which seems a bit like our current year-end report, work summary and debriefing report.

? Indeed, time flies, the years are rushing, and the year is coming to an end. Looking back, I was just "in a hurry". In addition to work, I wear Dai Yue every day, go out early and come back late, busy with all kinds of things and participate in all kinds of competitions. There seems to be no leisure time, let alone enjoyment. I have finished my work, I think I have finished my duty, and I am worthy of it. However, as a woman, a mother, a wife and a daughter-in-law, I have never done my duty. Lack of education and companionship for children, lack of care and filial piety for parents, lack of consideration and care for wives, and lack of responsibilities and obligations as wives. Only shame and regret.

? The pace of life is too fast and the work pressure is too great. After the holiday, I can finally eat, drink and be merry in time. But on second thought, "I am happy but not barren, and a good man is bent." It is ok to relax properly, and I have to plan my study and study well, between work and life. Seek a balanced, diligent and happy life!
