Idioms and allusions

original text

Ho ho! It's a long way to go. Feng Tang yilao, Li Guang Nanfeng. Qu Jia Yi in Changsha, not without the LORD; channeling Liang Hong in Haiqu, not lack of Ming time? A man of virtue knows his fate when he sees the opportunity. When you are old and strong, would you rather be a white head? If you are poor, you will be strong. Drink the spring and feel cool, dry ruts to joy. Although Beihai is on credit, it is not too late for Sangyu. Meng tasted noble and pure, and he was free to serve his country. Ruan Ji was so rampant that he could not help crying at the end of the road? Preface to Tengwang Pavilion by Wang Bo of Tang Dynasty

translation

Oh, the fate is not good, the fate of life is not good. Feng Tang is easy to grow old, but Li Guang is seldom a marquis. It was not a monarch without saints who made Jia Yi wronged and demoted to Changsha and made Liang Hong escape to Qilu seashore. Was it not an era of political prosperity? It's just a gentleman's insight and understanding. Although old, but ambition should be more exuberant, how to change the mood in the white head? Although the situation is difficult, but the moral integrity should be more firm, never abandon his ambition. Even after drinking the water of greedy spring, the mood is still fresh and clean; even in the dry main rut, the mind is still cheerful and happy. Although the North Sea is very far away, it is still possible to reach it by taking the sheep horn cyclone. Although the morning has passed, it is not too late to cherish the dusk. Meng is noble and pure in heart, but he has the passion to serve the country. Ruan Ji is unrestrained. How can we learn from his poor crying!
