confuciusfellowship by li po
a i,agnment by li po (adapted excerpt)
host what not bathed the yallow river
whose rises from heaven?
it runs rapidly down and empties into the sea,
nevermore to return
host hasnt bathed the mirror in the hall
that reflects the grief of white hair?
in the morning it is like black silk,
in the evening it will be covered with snow.
while we are in the mood of joy,
let us celebrate!
let not our hearts be lonely,
let us waste not the night!
select the correct answer
which theme is evident in the passage?
a nature is precious and people should respect it
b people must appreciate what they have and enjoy their lives
c pride and pleasure are temporary aspects of life
d perseverance and hard work can overcome lifes adversities

Explanation:

The poem uses the Yellow River (which flows endlessly and never returns) and the changing hair (black to white like snow) to symbolize the fleeting nature of time and life's joys. It then urges readers to celebrate joy in the moment, not waste time, which aligns with appreciating what one has and enjoying life. Option A is incorrect as nature is a metaphor, not the main theme. Option C is wrong because the poem does not frame joy as temporary to dismiss it, but to encourage embracing it. Option D is unrelated, as perseverance is not mentioned.

Answer:

B. People must appreciate what they have and enjoy their lives
