I hate accompanying the old scholar to cook gourd leaves, but force me to step on the locust flowers with my son.
I have nothing to do but look for a young horse, and my eyes wander around looking at the car for choosing a son-in-law.

Translation
In life, the body is wrapped in coarse clothes and poor cloth, and the intellectual temperament in the chest is naturally radiant.
I didn’t like to accompany the old Confucian and talk about the hard life of "cooking gourd leaves", so I decided to take the imperial examination with the officials.
If you don’t have money in your pocket, you won’t buy the “flower-looking” horse, but you will buy the dazzling “husband-selection car”.
If I pass the exam, I can still boast to the worldly people. My name is newly written in black letters like crows on the edict. Appreciation
Su Shi's poem "Farewell to Dong Chuan" may not be well-known to ordinary readers, but the line "There is poetry and calligraphy in the belly" is widely recited because of its classic The relationship between reading and human cultivation is expounded. Chinese scholars have always regarded reading as an effective way to accumulate knowledge and increase their knowledge. The role of reading is not only to possess knowledge, but also to enhance one's spiritual realm. Especially reading regularly, over time, will help people get rid of vulgar taste and develop an elegant and refined temperament. Liang Zhangju, a scholar of the Qing Dynasty, said: "If a person is not scholarly, he is vulgar and market-minded, and cannot be ranked among the scholar-bureaucrats." Facts have proved that people who read and do not read, and those who read more and those who read less, have different inner qualities. Temperament and quality are absolutely different. "Being full of poems and books" means reading poems and books and being full of economics. "Qi" can be understood as "temperament" or "spiritual outlook." The focus of the whole sentence is on "自", which emphasizes that gorgeous temperament is the inevitable result of reading poetry and books.
As far as Su Shi bid farewell to his friend Dong Chuan, "qi" should not simply refer to the elegant spirit that reading brings to people, but also refers to the spirit that ancient scholars admired in facing frustrations in life. and an optimistic and open-minded attitude when faced with difficulties. Yan Hui, a disciple of Confucius, was able to "not change his happiness" by "taking a basket of food and a ladle of drink in a back alley". When Wang Bo was in a downturn in life, he sang "Being poor will make you stronger, and you will not fall into the clouds". Dong Chuan was poor, but he always maintained an optimistic spirit and pursued his life goals. This can be seen from the sentence "If you don't have enough money, you can't find a young horse." Obviously, Su Shi still admired Dong Chuan's attitude towards life very much. This sentence given to a friend before parting is both a compliment and a comfort. Appreciation 2: "My life is wrapped in thick silk cloth, and there is poetry and calligraphy in my belly." These two sentences write that Dong Chuan's hair is tied in thick silk and his body is wrapped in thick cloth. The combination of words "wrap your life" is novel and clever. It should have been "life wrapped in coarse cloth", but when the word order was reversed it became "life wrapped in coarse cloth", which gave it a sense of picture and indicated that this kind of life has become the norm. These two lines of poem praise Dong Chuan, although he is poor, he is diligent in reading, so his spiritual temperament is extraordinary.
"I hate accompanying old Confucians to cook gourd leaves, but force me to step on locust flowers with me." These two sentences refer to Dong Chuan's ambition. He was unwilling to live in poverty and hoped to get ahead through the imperial examination. Lao Confucian refers to an old scholar. "Cooking gourd leaves" is the allusion. In "The Book of Songs·Xiaoya·Hu Ye", the first two sentences are "Fan banners and gourd leaves, harvest them and prosper". Gourd leaves taste bitter, and the leaves are used in the poem to describe the crudeness and simplicity of the dishes at the banquet. However, the host did not neglect the courtesy because of its meagerness, but sincerely "picked it to make it more prosperous" ("heng" is the same as "cook"). ").
"If you don't have enough money, you can't find a virgin horse, and you can't help but look at the car for choosing a son-in-law." "Looking for a virgin horse" is an allusion to Meng Jiao's "After Enrollment". Here Su Shi is saying that even if Dong Chuan was admitted, he would not have the money to buy horses, and like Meng Jiao, he "saw all the flowers in Chang'an in one day". The "carriage for choosing a son-in-law" is an allusion from Wang Dingbao's "Tang Zhayan·Miscellaneous Notes on Tours, Rewards, Poems and Ode to Ci'en Temple" of the Tang Dynasty. What Su Shi meant was that although Dong Chuan could not ride a horse to see the flowers like Meng Jiao did, he had the opportunity to be surrounded by the "selection car" and dazzled himself. These two poems are Su Shi's words to encourage Dong Chuan. Having money or not is not a problem, passing the exam is the last word. Then everything will be available.
"Proudness is worthy of praising the secular world, and edicts are like yellow and new wet words like crows." These two lines of poems are the continuation of the previous two lines, continuing to encourage Dong Chuan and hoping that Dong Chuan will One day, I can be named on the gold medal list and feel proud to praise the world. When Su Shi wrote this, he seemed to have completely forgotten the "poetry and calligraphy spirit in his belly" at the beginning of the poem. All that was left was a little blessing for a dissatisfied scholar. Creation background "Farewell to Dong Chuan" is a farewell poem written by Su Shi to his friend Dong Chuan. It was written when Su Shi returned to Chang'an from Fengxiang. Su Shi was in Fengxiang, and Dong Chuan was with Su Shi. Dong Chuan lived in poverty at that time and wore simple clothes. However, he was well-read in poetry and books, and was full of knowledge. His ordinary clothes could not hide his optimistic and uplifting spirit.
