Thread Content
\"Tie Yin Deng·Composing a Poem in Response to Ouyang Xiu*\", Song Dynasty: Fan Zhongyan. Last night, while reading the Records of Shu, I laughed at Cao Cao, Sun Quan, and Liu Bei.

Less foolishness, more maturity and weariness. Only in the middle, a few young folks, why bear the burdens of fame? One rank and a thousand gold pieces – how can one avoid turning gray? Chī ái: lacking wisdom ； Stupid. Wangcui: thin and emaciated.

It’s indeed a fitting phrase – once one reaches middle age, everything comes to an end.
