Yan Shu, the Prime Minister of the Northern Song Dynasty, was also a famous talented poet in the capital.

Talented people often have many romantic debts. In addition, the Northern Song Dynasty was relatively open in this regard. Not only could ministers have prostitutes in their homes, but the government even prepared "official prostitutes" for officials with low salaries.

Of course Yan Shu does not need official prostitutes. In addition to the singers at home, he is also a frequent visitor to various romantic places in the eastern capital.

On this day, at a banquet with a local official, he met a singer who made his eyes shine and was a bit amazing.

later inquired and learned that the singer's name was Xiaoping. After the banquet was over, Yan Shu made a private appointment with Xiao Ping. Xiao Ping also admired Yan Shu's name for a long time, so of course he was happy to recommend himself to the banquet, and the two of them enjoyed themselves.

The times are changing. Three months later, Yan Shu thought of Xiao Ping again that day.

"Will that singer fall in love with me at first sight and protect her body like a jade?"

Yan Shu thought like this and went straight to the restaurant before. Above the restaurant, Little Ping was charming and charming, with swaying eyebrows, serving the guests sitting at the head table. The position of

was also done by Yan Shu. But tonight, he is not the protagonist.

"Sir, would you like to have two more drinks? Don't leave tonight. I'll send the sedan bearer back first to spend time with you!"

Xiao Ping's voice kept ringing in my ears. Yan Shu, who was originally a little sad, miraculously calmed down slowly.

Fate in this world is as easy to disperse as duckweed. Why should you expect someone you meet by chance to watch over you for the rest of your life?

The past and future are never in your own hands. You can't control what others think.

In heaven and earth, all you can have is your own body and mind, and the present moment.

In response to this night, Yan Shu wrote the ever-famous song "Huanxisha".

Huanxisha·I have always been limited in time.

Yan Shu

I have always been limited in time. It is easy to say goodbye and it is easy to be ecstatic, and there is no farewell to the banquet and singing.

The mountains and rivers in our eyes are far away, and the falling flowers and wind and rain hurt the spring even more. It is better to take pity on the people in front of us.

The overall structure of the words is very clear. The upper part starts with the specific example of "wine feast and singing feast", and the lower part sublimates its abstraction into emotion about life and comfort to the world. Let’s take a look at Shangqiao first. The first sentence of

describes the finiteness of life and the infiniteness of time. Time passes year by year, and mortals can't see the end, nor can they see the end. All he can feel is that his body is getting older.

And in this short life, there are many disappointing things. In the middle, parting is the most important thing.

In life, we have to experience separation at every turn, which is really easy to make people nervous!

Life is short and boring, so what should we do?

Of course, enjoy the moment and enjoy yourself in the moment. This leads to the last sentence in the previous sentence: If there are any "wining feasts and singing banquets", go and enjoy them to your heart's content, and don't refuse easily just because they happen too often.

At this point, there is a danger of falling into a cliche. Writing about carpe diem and then finally carpe diem is a routine that was written badly in the Wei and Jin Dynasties.

Yan Shu’s level is certainly more than that.

Starting from the bottom line, each of the three sentences is a famous sentence through the ages, and each sentence is worthy of our repeated reading and reflection.

In my eyes, looking at the mountains and rivers in the distance, I lament that life is short, and I can only look far away, not close up.

Now, listening to the flowers falling to the ground and the wind and rain swaying, it is easy for people to sigh with sorrow for spring and autumn.

There are always so many unsatisfactory things in the distance, and death is the ultimate outcome that no one in the world can avoid.

People, in the infinite universe and time, seem so small and insignificant.

But we also have our own happiness, that is the lover in front of us. Being able to love and being able to love is a great ability, which gives human beings the highest level of happiness and sadness.

If you are desperate for the distant sky, you think those stars are ideals that you cannot reach in your life.

It’s better to lower your eyes and look at the cutest person around you.

Thinking about the distance in vain and being sentimental in vain are better than grasping the present moment, grasping the happiness that can be grasped in the hands and eyes, and protecting those who love you and the people you love.

This is Yan Shu’s attitude towards life, and I hope it is the attitude towards life for you, me, and all mortals.

Time is limited, things are impermanent, but love is eternal.
