回顾即将过去的动荡一年，金融风暴和经济危机让当今全球陷入不明朗的局势，引起了我对未来文明走向变幻莫测的感觉。然而阴阳运转乃是万物之道，精彩的时代可能很快就要到来，同时也正值乱世当前，楚国诗人屈原在《离骚》中所表达的悲壮情怀，忽然引起了我的共鸣。 “日月忽其不淹兮，春与秋其代序；惟草木之零落兮，恐美人之迟暮；不抚壮而弃秽兮，何不改乎此度？乘骐骥以驰骋兮，来吾导夫先路。”这样悲壮又富有哲理的情怀中，我们要坚信阴阳之道的感悟那就是人类的春天很快即将来临。物极必反、阴阳运转，社会经济的变乱中，全新的和谐平衡将会建立起来。正如北宋诗人林逋的诗句“暗香浮动月黄昏”， “粉蝶如知合断魂，占尽风情向小园”寓意着春天快来的诗意。诗词不但是表达诗人的感情，还反映社会的生活风俗变动。从屈原到汉唐盛世的孔融李白杜甫，再到宋朝苏轼李清照的词，它与唐诗元曲有很明显的比对，无论是在诗词的形体更有鲜明内容的表述，都有反映历史社会的描述性差别。此时此刻，我们要鼓起勇气，面对未来！不能象南宋辛弃疾对国家兴亡之感慨，泪满无底河，借水怨山，愁上加愁,“西山望长安，可怜无数山。青山遮不住，毕竟东流去”; 要有项羽 “力拔山兮气盖世”的豪情，更要有壮丽之正气来建立未来人类文明的希望。
