Time passed by and life changed

High carriage and four horses -- symbol of wealth and nobility

Old but vigorous

transience

killing of living things

the Shanghai of old, with its foreign settlements, (fig.)​ a bustling, cosmopolitan city

Trace to the source

be a crack shot(shoot with great accuracy)

Right and wrong

In quiet

sit on one's hands(stand aside)

A great tree attracts the wind.

discuss a variety of subjects

rack one's brains in scheming

have in leash(tie somebody's hands)

very good weather

this way and that(up and down)

Time and situation have changed.

hold a sinecure job and eat the bread of idleness(hold down a job without doing a stroke of work)

One's death is weightier than Mount Tai.
