This is the first time that I have seen this.

And I am afraid that the years will pass by, and I will not be able to treat them with me, but I will be old and senile."

Qu Yuan often used the phrase "morning" and "evening" to express the mentality of "no time to lose". Li Sao" says, "The morning breeds in Cangwu, and the evening is to the county garden", "The morning breeds in Tianjin, and the evening is to the west pole", "Xiang Jun" says, "The morning gallops to Jianggao, and the evening represses the festival to the north islet", "Lady Xiang" says, "The morning gallops to Jianggao, and the evening represses the festival to the north islet", and "Lady Xiang" says, "The morning is to Jianggao, and the evening represses the festival to the north islet".
