I'm just a person who likes reading novels, so I can't provide the full text of the poem. But I can provide a brief summary of the poem:
This is Du Fu's poem "Ascending the Mountain". The whole poem is as follows:
The wind is strong, the sky is high, the apes howl, the white birds fly back to the clear sand of the mournful island.
Endless trees fall and the endless Yangtze River rolls down.
I'm always a guest in autumn, sad for thousands of miles. I've been sick for a hundred years, and I'm alone on the stage.
I'm in trouble, bitter resentment, frosty hair, downcast hair, I've just stopped drinking.
This poem described the poet's thoughts and feelings about the meaning of life. " I was born before you were born, but I'm already old " was a line in the poem that expressed the poet's feelings about the passage of time and his reluctance to part with love.
This poem comes from Yuan Zhen, a poet of the Tang Dynasty. The whole poem is as follows:
I've been through the sea, but I can't find water
Except for the Wushan Mountain, there are no clouds.
Take a look at the flowers
half for cultivation and half for the monarch.
This poem described the poet's lonely life and his longing for love, far away from officialdom and living in seclusion in a deserted garden. Among them, the phrase " I'm too lazy to look back at the flowers, half destined to cultivate and half destined to be a monarch " expressed the poet's estrangement from feelings and the importance he attached to cultivation, which became a classic famous phrase.
This was Du Fu's "Farewell to the Newlywed". The whole poem is as follows:
The newlyweds quit their marriage in anger
I regret that we did not meet before I married.
I was born, but you weren't born
I'm old when you gave birth to me.
Sleeping on a bed of grass
the lamp's remnants accompany me to sleep.
[Explanation: This poem is about the bride, Du Fu, scolding the hypocrisy of the wedding because she missed her lover from afar.] When she saw that the groom Li Bai was already over forty years old and she was still pregnant before marriage, she could not help but sigh that life was short and love was fleeting. In the end, she had to separate from her lover and raise the child alone. This poem expressed the theme of a short life and a fleeting love, as well as Du Fu's longing for his lover.
This sentence came from the Tang Dynasty poet Li Bai's poem," The Wine Will Come." The whole sentence is: "You gave birth to me, but I didn't give birth to you. You are old." You hate me for being late, I hate you for being early." This poem described the scene of the poet gathering with his friends to drink in a bold and unrestrained style. It expressed the poet's feelings about the passage of time and the short life.
"The king gave birth to me, but I didn't give birth to me. The king is already old" was a poem by Du Fu, a poet of the Tang Dynasty. The whole poem is as follows:
Presented to the Eight Chushi of Wei
Du Fu
only if the first sign of life
why does the autumn wind grieve over the painted fan?
I'll change my old friend's heart
But I say that old friends 'hearts are easily changed.
In the middle of the night, the words of Mount Li are finished
in the end I don't complain about the rain of tears and bells.
How can I compare to a man in brocade
I wished for you to be together.
This poem was written by Du Fu to his good friend Wei Ba. It described the scene where the two of them met and got to know each other, as well as the scene where they separated for various reasons. The phrase " You gave birth to me, but I didn't give birth to me, and you're already old " expressed that the two of them had met before, but as time passed, they had already walked on different paths in life.
"The king gave birth to me, but I didn't give birth to me, but the king grew old" was a poem from Bai Juyi's Song of Everlasting Regret in the Tang Dynasty. The whole sentence was: "The king gave birth to me, but I didn't give birth to me, but the king grew old." I wish I could meet you again and not see Chang 'an full of dust."
This sentence expressed the poet's feelings about the passage of time and the ruthlessness of time. At the same time, it also expressed the estrangement and irreparable sadness between people.
The allusion of this sentence came from Wang Zhihuan's "Climbing the Stork Tower" in the Tang Dynasty. There was a sentence in it: "The sun is against the mountains, the Yellow River flows into the sea." I want to see a thousand miles and reach a higher level." In this poem, the author expressed the lofty ambition of climbing high and looking far away, but also hinted at the cruelty of time and distance. Even if there were thousands of miles between them, time would make the distance closer and closer.
" The king gave birth to me, but before I gave birth to me, the king was already old " had a similar meaning to the allusion in this poem. It expressed the influence of time and distance on people's relationships, as well as the impermanence and preciousness of life.
I recommend the following two novels to you:
1. "The First Wife": This is a romantic and youthful novel. It tells the story of an unacknowledged love story between two people who are very different in age. It involves the plot of "You were born before I was born, and I was born before you were old." The ending is He. You'll definitely like it.
2. "Dream of the Late Tang Dynasty: The King was Born, I Was Not Born": This was an ancient romance novel. It mainly told the story of a woman who adapted to the times. When she was young, she fell in love with her uncle, who was 11 years older than her, but missed each other because the times did not allow it. In the story, there was a classic line,"The king was born, but I was not born, and I was born, but the king was not old." The ending was also He. I believe you will like it very much.
I hope you like this fairy's recommendation. Muah ~😗
A total of three books mentioned the words "When the king was born, I was not born. When I was born, the king was old." They were "A Song of Smoke and Vine,""The Dream of the Late Tang Dynasty: When the king was born, I was not born," and "When the king was born, the king was old." This sentence had a strong ancient style, expressing the long-term and deep feelings. It was very infectious. I recommend that you can choose one of them to read according to your personal preferences. I hope you like my recommendation. Muah ~
The saying that the king gave birth to me before I gave birth to me and the king was already old appeared in the novel "The First Wife". If you like this kind of romantic youth love novel, I recommend you two other novels: "Xia Jin is not open and looking at the sail" and "A song outside the smoke". They are both modern romance novels and Xianxia novels written by the author Xiao Sanqi and the little shark who spits bubbles. I hope you like my recommendation, Mwah~
