    Note:

    Living a brief life like a mayfly in the vast universe, insignificant as a grain of sand in the boundless sea. Lamenting the fleeting nature of our lives, envying the endless flow of the Yangtze River. – Su Shi, “The Ode to the Red Cliffs”

    Darkness turns suddenly bright, hot spring days turn cold. Even the upright man can miscalculate. – Kong Shangren, “The Peach Blossom Fan”

    Confucius said by the river, “Like the river flowing, time passes day and night.” – “The Rare Jewel”
