Lot 83人心不足
中平凡麈身历几时闲
世事浑如叠叠山
既富尚忧无贵子
不知花放又花残
Basic reading
AI-assisted readingThe poem in plain language
The poem makes worldly concerns resemble overlapping mountains, leaving little room for rest. Even after gaining wealth, another perceived lack brings worry. Flowers bloom and fade while new wants keep appearing, showing how present time passes amid pursuit.
The central idea
Concern follows concern like successive mountains, while flowers bloom and fade. The verse questions the endless postponement of contentment, not the right to have hopes. An unfinished life can still contain something worth enjoying now.
