This poem is from a poem about cows written by Cang Kejia, a great contemporary poet.

The whole poem is as follows

Pieces of waste water and mud are dug deep and carefully taken away.

Old cows can also solve the problem of being young and expensive without their own whips.

Translation:

The old cow worked hard on the barren land, plowing from east to west. The old cow knows that she is old, and she will struggle forward without the whipping and urging of others.

Among them, the famous poem "Don't wait to whip yourself" means that ambitious people will consciously move towards their goals without external pressure.

Make an appreciative comment

This is a poem written by the poet when he was over 70 years old. With the help of an image of an old ox who is tireless, vigorous and self-reliant, he praised the lofty aspirations of the working people and their determination to contribute everything to the motherland and the people in their lifetime.

"One piece of waste water and sludge, dig deep and take things away carefully" describes the working environment and process of the old ox. It plows and trudges in water and mud, but it works hard, not afraid of difficulties and monotony, and keeps digging around. "Old cows can also solve the problem of being young and expensive. Don't wait to slap yourself." It is a summary and sublimation of the spirit of the ox with anthropomorphic rhetoric. This means that the old cow knows the preciousness of spring as well as the farmers, so it will make vigorous progress and will not wait for people who use it to spur it. "Shaoguang" here refers to the beautiful time in spring.
