About this item
| Description: |
This song is usually sung during such Pumi festivals as New Year, which is held from the 7th to the 9th of day of the twelfth lunar month.
The meaning of this song is that history accumulates day by day, month by month, and year by year. To face death is our fate. Elders need not worry about when they are going to die, but should try to enjoy themselves while they are alive. Youths should treat time as something precious. They have much time to do what they need. They should be happy and never complain. |
