What does it mean if I'm not as good as I'm afraid of?

Interpretation: Time seems to be behind. Time waits for no one, which makes people flustered.

This sentence comes from Qu Yuan's Li Sao.

Part of the original text is as follows:

Emperor Levin is a descendant of Miao nationality, and I am the emperor Kao Boyong.

I went to Meng Xi with my virginity, but Geng Yin and I surrendered.

The emperor's glimpse of Yu Yu was the first step, and Zhao Xiyu was famous.

The name Yu is formal, but the word Yu is both.

Fenwu has both inner beauty and self-cultivation.

Hu Jiang left with Bi, thinking that she was admirable.

If I am not as good as me, I am afraid that my age is not with me.

Vernacular translation:

I am a descendant of the ancient emperor Levin, and my dead father was Bo Yong.

I was born in Meng Chunyue's Gengyin Day, when the stars were in the shade.

My father guessed my birthday carefully, so he gave me a corresponding reputation:

My father named my name "Routine" and my word "Ling Jun".

Talent has given me many good qualities, and I have constantly strengthened my self-cultivation.

I put Li Jiang's on my shoulder and hung Qiu Lan on the rope.

Time flies, and I can't seem to keep up. Time and tide wait for no man make me flustered.

The significance and theme of Li Sao;

Scholars in ancient and modern times have different opinions on the meaning of Li Sao, with dozens of them. However, Sima Qian's theory of "leaving worries" is the most successful. Sima Qian defined the title of Li Sao as: "Those who leave Sao are still worried." He believes that "leaving Sao" means "leaving sorrow" and "leaving sorrow" means relieving pain. This is not only Qu Yuan's creative motivation, but also the basic content and theme of Li Sao.

Sima Qian didn't explain the specific meaning of "Li You" or make a footnote on the word "Li You", which led to the misunderstanding of "Li You" by later scholars, and its original meaning was obscure due to various misunderstandings, which not only left a lot of room for debate on the interpretation of the meaning of Li Sao, but also affected the correct understanding of the meaning and poetic purport of Li Sao.
