What do you mean, time is too thin and fingers are too wide?

Time is too thin and your fingers are too wide, which means that time passes through your fingers so easily.

The source of this sentence comes from An Yiru's "Only Tao was Extraordinary at that time", in which the author An Ruyi wrote the quatrain "Time is too thin and fingers are too wide". However, the inspiration for the author to write this sentence comes from Zhang Ailing's Eighteen Springs. "Time flies, especially for people after their twenties. Ten years and eight years seems to be a matter of time. "

This book is a collection of essays created by modern and contemporary writers such as Feng Zikai, Liang Shiqiu, Zhu Ziqing, Lao She and Zhou Zuoren. I chose those stories that fell in time, or lamented that time was in a hurry, or recalled people or things left in the years, or felt homesick, or worried about places that I could never go back.

Later, An Ruyi wrote this sentence into his own works, from which he got the famous sentence "Time is too thin, fingers are too wide". It means that time passes so easily because the fingers are thin and wide. This sentence is also a kind of helplessness for the short life and a sigh for the passage of time.

It reflects that people have unconsciously reached another stage, and it is a very casual thing. Times have changed, and inadvertently, things have changed. Even if you realize it, you can't catch it with your hands. This is a kind of helplessness for a short life.
