Original text:
I would rather die of old age than bow before horses and chariots; Cars and horses are rich and interesting, and hops are poor.
If wealth is better than poverty, one is in the ground and the other is in the sky; If you compare poverty to horses and chariots, he will have to drive away my leisure.
Others laugh that I am too crazy, and I laugh that others can't see through it; There are no graves of Hao Jie in Wuling, no flowers, no wine, and no hoes to plow the fields.
Translation:
There is a peach temple in Taohuawu, and there is a peach fairy below.
Peach Fairy planted peach trees and broke off peach branches to pay for drinks.
When you wake up, you just sit in front of the peach blossom. Sleep under the peach blossom when you are drunk.
Next to the peach blossom day after day, I was drunk and awake year after year.
I don't want to bow down in front of luxurious chariots and horses. I just want to spend my whole life enjoying flowers and drinking.
Running around by horse is the pleasure of the rich, while those who have no money look for wine, snuff.
If you compare wealth with poverty, it's a world of difference.
If the life of the poor is compared to the life of horses and chariots, what they get is the pain of running around, and what I get is leisurely happiness.
Everyone laughs at me for being crazy, and I laugh at them for being superficial.
I still remember that there were no flowers and no wine in front of the tomb of the heroes of the Five Tombs, and now they have all been hoed into fields.
Tang Ginza, owner of Taohua Temple in March of Hongzhi Ugly Year.
