82riceballs Posted January 5, 2008 at 05:26 PM Report Posted January 5, 2008 at 05:26 PM Who wrote "少年不知愁滋味"? I heard my Chinese teacher say it yesterday, but forgot to ask. So, I did a google search and found this website which I think says that 辛棄疾 wrote it. As I don't really trust my Chinese, can someone verify that that's correct? Does anyone know anymore information about this poem? Quote

82riceballs Posted January 5, 2008 at 09:50 PM Author Report Posted January 5, 2008 at 09:50 PM cool! thanks! so is it "少年不知" or "少年不識"? I think they mean the same thing, but are there different versions of the same thing? Quote
Littleweed Posted January 6, 2008 at 12:08 PM Report Posted January 6, 2008 at 12:08 PM They do mean the same thing, but in the orignal poem it was "少年不识". It sounds more literary than 少年不知. Also "不知" sounds a lot more colloquial, I think. Quote
