"A wise man like Mr. Edward has made mistakes, let alone the ancients" No one can guarantee that he is not at fault.

"You..." Edward was short of words for a while, and could not think of a good reason to refute it. In the ninth year of Yonghe, it was the year of the Lunar Calendar, and at the beginning of the third month of the lunar calendar, (we) gathered at the Orchid Pavilion in Huiji Sanyin in order to engage in the cultivation of rituals. Many talents are gathered here, and the older and younger are gathered together. This place has high peaks and tall and dense bamboo forests. There is also a clear and turbulent stream, (like the Qingluo belt) around the pavilion, and (we) lead (clear and turbulent) to flow the curved water, and sit next to the curved water. Although there is no grand occasion of playing music, drinking some wine and composing some poetry is enough to make people express their deep feelings. On this day, it was sunny and refreshing, and the spring breeze was warm and cheerful. Looking up, the sky is vast and boundless, looking down, there are so many things on the ground, so you can stretch your eyesight, open your mind, and enjoy the fun of listening and hearing, which is really happy!

People interact with each other and quickly spend their lives. Sometimes I talk about my ambitions and ambitions indoors, and sometimes I put my feelings on the things I love, and I live without any constraints. Though they have their own hobbies, their preferences and preferences, and their quietness and restlessness, when they are pleased with what they have come into contact with, they feel contented, happy and self-sufficient for a while, and do not feel that old age is coming; Things that were happy in the past have become old relics in the blink of an eye, and they still cannot but arouse feelings in their hearts because of them, not to mention the length of life, which is left to creation and ultimately comes down to extinction! The ancients said: "Death and life are also a great thing." "How can you not grieve?

Whenever I see the reasons why the ancients lamented (the great events of death and life) are in line with what I lamented, there is no one who sighs and grieves without facing their writings, but I can't understand it in my heart. Therefore, it is known that it is untrue to equate death with life, and that it is false to equate long life with short life. It is really sad that future generations will look at the present as we look at the past today! So I wrote down the people who attended the meeting at that time one by one, and transcribed the poems they composed, even though the times have changed and the world has changed, the reason why people are excited and emotional, and people's thoughts and tastes are the same. Future generations of readers will also be moved by the poems of this rally.
