2. A couplet from a historical story: No matter how much you lead guests in purple robes or gold, you must also dismount and ask about your future.
Tao Long and Tao Hu gathered in Yongning because a Taoist priest, Miao Guangyi, opened a fortune-telling hall in the Guan Sheng Temple. It was inferred that good and bad luck were like gods, so the two brothers wanted to Go and ask for forgiveness. I got up early that day, straightened my clothes, rode on a horse, took my children with me, went to the market, and dismounted in front of the temple. When I entered the temple, I saw a couplet posted on the pillars on both sides of the east corridor, which read:
One can know the name of a prime minister, but one who has good knowledge has never met a hero.
There was a signboard hanging under the eaves of the corridor, with many verses written on it. The two brothers looked at it carefully and saw that it was written:
There is no need to visit Shaozi in Chang'an, why Xishu? Ask Junping?
We are deeply destined to meet each other today, and we may have good or bad luck.
The machine hides the body's faults, prosperity and decline, and the reason is to cut off the roots of poverty, longevity and death.
No matter how you lead the guests in purple robes and gold, you must also dismount and ask about the future.
2. From the poem: Where do you want to go? Dismount and ask about the future. Let’s have a glass of wine and see how many people we can meet! ——The author is unknown, and the specific dynasty is unknown.
Vernacular interpretation:
A man was passing by on horseback. Others asked him where he was going. The man happened to get off his horse and asked for directions. The passerby invited the man to have a drink and rest, and he sighed. There are not many people who can talk to each other and understand themselves.
