Time passed by unconsciously, and it was already 11 noon.

Reading a novel makes time fly by quite quickly.

Several guests came together.

Several people had a look of excitement on their faces, as if they were chatting about some interesting topic.

After getting closer.

One of the guests in a white shirt said to Li You with a smile: "Boss, are you interested in ancient poetry?"

Ancient poetry?

Are these guys just talking about ancient poetry?

They are all artistic young people!

Not bad, not bad.

Li You praised several people in his heart, and then smiled and said: "It's okay, I'm quite interested. What's wrong?"

The guest in the white shirt was even more happy and said: "Then I will say the first line of the poem, and then you will pick up the next line. Is that okay?"

"Oh?" Li You smiled again, "Are you going to test my poetry level? Okay, okay, come on."

Li You didn't know why the white-shirted guest was suddenly interested in asking him to accept the poem? But he thought it was quite interesting.

Because he really likes ancient poetry.

So he won't refuse.

The guest in white shirt was even more happy and said: "Then I said, the last sentence is 'passionate since ancient times, there is no room for hatred'."

That’s right.

Li You instantly understood why the white-shirted guest was interested in asking him to accept the poem today?

Because this poem is very famous and well-known, and at the same time, many people will answer the next sentence incorrectly.

After understanding the reason, Li You said with a smile: "You thought I would answer, 'This hatred will last forever'. Right?"

"This..."

The guest in white shirt was obviously a little regretful and said: "It seems that I can't get the boss, which is a pity."

The guest in white shirt really thought that Li You would accept "This hatred lasts forever". In this way, even if he succeeded in making the boss make a mistake, it would be a very happy thing.

On the way here, he also used this poem to ask several people traveling with him.

Several people said that the next sentence was "This hatred will last forever", and they were very sure that it was definitely not wrong.

Even when they said they were wrong, they still insisted that it couldn't be wrong. They were so familiar with these two lines of poems, how could they be wrong?

I originally thought that the boss would be like a few people. But now that the boss has said this, it is very obvious that the boss knows what the really correct next sentence is?

What a pity!

The next sentence is, "Good dreams are the easiest to wake up from."

"Since ancient times, passion has always been full of regrets, and good dreams are the easiest to wake up from." This poem first came from an unknown poem written by Shi Qingxi, a literati in the Qing Dynasty. There are only these two lines.

However, there is such a poem in the later novel "Flower Moon Traces" written by Wei Zian, also a Qing Dynasty scholar.

"Since ancient times, passion has always left no room for hatred, and good dreams are the easiest to wake up from.

Isn't it difficult to get rid of the flowers? It's a pity that the flying catkins are too scattered.

The fragrant nest is suddenly closed to the Yuanyang Society, and the new sentences are still written on the jade screen.

My heart is broken because of separation, and my old shirt is full of tears."

Therefore, it is difficult to verify whether the sentence "Sentiment has been full of hatred since ancient times, and good dreams are the easiest to wake up from." Is it Shi Qingxi's original creation? Or Wei Zian's original creation?

But no matter who created it, this poem is the original poem.

"This hatred lasts forever" comes from "Song of Everlasting Sorrow" written by Bai Juyi, a great poet of the Tang Dynasty. The first sentence is, "Heaven and earth will last forever."

Li You also knows that when many people hear the sentence "Sentiment has been full of hatred since ancient times", they will unconsciously blurt out, "This hatred will last forever."

So, he just said that.

This is indeed interesting.

There may be two reasons for this situation.

First, there is indeed no sense of incompatibility when these two lines of poems are connected together.

"Since ancient times, there has been no regret, and this hatred lasts forever." A very perfect poem. It even feels better than the original poem, "There has been no regret since ancient times, and good dreams are the easiest to wake up from."

Second, it may have been influenced by the TVB version of the TV series "Journey to the West" that year.

This drama was very popular at that time and had great influence. Among them, Zhu Bajie often said a mantra, "Since ancient times, there has been no regrets, and this hatred will last forever."

In addition, many people would also say that "since ancient times, there has been so much passion and there is no room for hatred".

This doesn't matter, the meaning is the same anyway. But the original sentence is "passionate since ancient times", with "passionate" first.

The guest in white shirt did not get Li You and felt it was a pity. The other guests were very happy.

"Hahaha! Let me tell you, it will definitely not be difficult for the boss."

"The boss is still awesome. We all said it wrong just now. However, we can't blame us for remembering it wrong. The sentence 'The origin of good dreams is the easiest to wake up' is really not famous. Compared with the previous sentence 'Passion has been filled with hatred since ancient times'

, I don’t know how many levels the difference is.”

"It just so happens that 'This hatred lasts forever' is also very famous, and it fits perfectly with 'Sentimental hatred from ancient times'. It's normal if I remember it wrong."

"It is also related to the TVB version of "Journey to the West" back then. It is estimated that few people realized at the time that a poem that Zhu Bajie often read in Li Yaoxiang's version was actually grafted together by two poems."

"Few people realize it now."

"This TV series was indeed very popular back then, but it was already that year after all. So, I think the biggest reason is that the phrase 'good dreams are the easiest to wake up from' is so unknown. It's strange to say it, because it's obviously a poem.

, but he is only half famous."

"Maybe it's because the first half of the sentence is written well, but the second half is much worse?"

"..."

Li You said at this time: "Speaking of this, I would like to say something. Some poems are famous only for half a sentence. It may not be because the other half is not good, but because that half sentence alone is enough to amaze thousands of years and is enough to seal the world.

It's amazing. Just like the half sentence of "Sentiment has been full of hatred since ancient times", it doesn't need the second half of the sentence to be a god. So, it's not that the second half of the sentence is bad, but the first half of it is enough. No

I need the next half sentence."

When the guest in white shirt heard what Li You said, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said with great joy: "What the boss said is so good! Indeed, many poems only need half a sentence to amaze thousands of years, and they are enough to make gods. Except for this sentence just now

, also like the sentence 'the one who is near the water and the tower first gets the moon'."

Li You nodded, "Indeed. This sentence is also very famous and has been amazing for thousands of years. It is a work by Su Lin in the Song Dynasty. But not many people know about the next sentence of 'The flowers and trees in the sun change into spring'

. It’s not because this sentence is bad, but the first half of the sentence is enough. This half of the sentence is actually very philosophical and well written. But why is it not famous? It’s because the first half of the sentence is already amazing enough

”

The customer in white shirt nodded repeatedly, "That's right, boss!"

The other guests couldn't help but nod, and they were all very happy and said: "Yes, yes, it is indeed like this. Are there any more? Boss, are there any poems similar to this?"

Li You said: "Yes, there are many. For example, 'There is no grass anywhere in the world', 'One misstep will lead to eternal hatred', 'One inch of time is one inch of gold', 'Don't love the country, love the beauty', 'Beauty is in the eye of the beholder'

, 'One general's achievements are worth a thousand pieces of gold', 'A spring night is worth a thousand pieces of gold', 'Poor parents in the world', 'There is no place in life where we don't meet', 'We are destined to meet each other thousands of miles away', 'Steal half a day's leisure' and so on.

Are you all very familiar with these poems, but you don’t know what the first half or the second half of them is?"

The more the guests listened, the more surprised they became, and the more they listened, the more excited they became.

Yes, yes, they are all very familiar with these poems. But they really can’t seem to remember what the other half of them is?

It can even be said that I have no impression.

It turns out that there are so many poems whose half-sentences have amazed people for thousands of years and are enough to make them gods.

I didn’t pay attention to this at all before.

Now that I know it, I am inexplicably excited.
