| 303 | 303 | 【原文】 树木至归根,而后知花萼树叶之徒荣;人事至盖棺,而后知子 女玉帛之无益。 【今译】 叶落归根之际,才知道花萼树叶不过是白白繁荣滋长了一回; 人死入土之时,方懂得生儿育女多蓄财宝并没有什么好处。 | When we see the leaves fall from the trees in winter and turn into mud, we realize that they flourished for a time, but all in vain. When we see a man being put in his coffin, we realize that things we have most treasured, such as abundance of wealth and offspring, count for very little. |
