What do you think of Chinese ancient poets?

At age of 5:

Damn why did grandpa always ask to me recite so many weird sentences?

At age of 10:

Oh no today’s homework is reciting the poems again.

At age of 15:

Yes I can quote some poem in my composition and get extra marks for that. This is cool.

At age of 20:

No one asked me to recite poems anymore, but as my life went on, some poems came to my mind at some point. I started to appreciate my grandpa and teachers’ effort to ask me to recite those poems, and I started to learn more ancient poems and stories behind them by my own.

When I climbed to the top of a mountain, Du Fu’s 会当凌绝顶，一览众山小 came to my mind.

When I see the sunset scene, there is noting but 落霞与孤鹜齐飞, 秋水共长天一色 could describe it.

senoritazhao

At the age when you started to know love, poems like 落花人独立，微雨燕双飞 or 衣带渐宽终不悔，为伊消得人憔悴or 月上柳梢头，人约黄昏后always touched your heart.
