Listen to pronunciation in the creative background
This poem was written in the early spring of the third year (1 167) of Song Xiaozong main road, and Lu You was at home at leisure. Before that, Lu You was a judge of Longxing House (now Nanchang City, Jiangxi Province). In the second year of Longxing (1 164), he actively supported the anti-Jin general Zhang Jun's northern expedition. After Liv's defeat, she was excluded by imperialist lords and capitulationists, and was accused of "testifying, singing right and wrong, and urging Zhang Jun to fight". When Lu You returned to her hometown, her mood was quite complicated, and her anguish and resentment were intertwined, but she was not disheartened. The patriotic feelings of "generosity is still strong" (Yu Wen) made him feel hope and light in rural life, and poured this feeling into his poetry creation. This poem was written in my hometown of Yin Shan (now Shaoxing, Zhejiang). [5][6]

Literary appreciation
This lyric poem by Ji You is one of Lu You's masterpieces. Deng, former deputy editor-in-chief of Shanghai Ancient Books Publishing House, made the following comments on this poem:
The first couplet shows the quiet and joyful atmosphere in the countryside in the harvest year. Waxed wine: refers to rice wine brewed in the twelfth lunar month last year. Dolphin: It's a pig. Full-legged chicken and dolphin: it means full-legged chicken and dolphin. It is said that although the taste of farm wine is thin, the way of hospitality is deep. A word "foot" expresses all the hospitality of farmers. The word "don't laugh" expresses the poet's appreciation of the simple folk customs in rural areas.
The second couplet is about the scenery along the mountains and rivers, which contains philosophy and has been widely quoted for thousands of years. "There is no doubt about mountains and rivers, and there is another village." Such a smooth, beautiful, cheerful and lively poem seems to see the poet strolling among the verdant forests, and the clear mountain springs gurgling through the winding streams. The more lush the vegetation, the more difficult it is to distinguish the winding mountain roads. When I was at a loss, I suddenly saw the flowers flickering in front of me, and several peasant cottages were looming among the flower trees, and the poet suddenly felt suddenly enlightened. The degree of excitement can be imagined. Of course, this realm has also been described by predecessors, but these two sentences are particularly euphemistic and chic. When people discuss knowledge and study problems, it often happens that the mountains turn to water, and they are confused and hard to find a way out. So I suddenly felt a sense of emptiness. However, if you persevere and move on, suddenly a ray of dawn appears in front of you. Go on, and you will be suddenly enlightened and discover a new world that you have never seen before. This is the inspiration of this connection and the unique interest of Song poetry. After reading it, people will feel that in a certain situation in life, there is an amazing fit with what is written in the poem, so they feel more cordial. What is described here is that the poet walks on the shady road, confidently, wondering if there is no road, and suddenly becomes cheerful, which not only embodies the poet's hope for the future, but also tells the philosophy of ups and downs of the world. Therefore, these two poems transcend the description of natural scenery and have strong artistic vitality.
This couplet shows the beautiful scenery in spring; The second part describes the rural customs from nature to personnel in the early Southern Song Dynasty. It is not difficult for readers to understand the poet's deep affection for traditional culture. "Society" is the land god. Spring Festival club, the fifth day after beginning of spring. The Agricultural Sacrifice Society prayed for the New Year and was full of harvest expectations. Festivals and the origin of Zhou Li. Su Shi's "Die Hua Lian Zhou Mi Shang Yuan" also said: "Drumming and playing the flute is to enter the agricultural mulberry society." It can be seen that the Song Dynasty was still very popular. Lu You is full of praise for this ancient local custom, and shows his love for our country and people with his "simple clothes and ancient customs".
