Translation of Six Poems of He Taogui's Pastoral Residence

The six translations of the fourth poem by Tao Guitian Yuanju are as follows:

The old man is over 80 years old and doesn't understand urban entertainment. Nature accidentally missed it, and everyone who traveled with it became ruins. I have never crossed the river in my life and lived in seclusion in Shuibei. Put your hand on Li and hug 300 trees. Don't talk about Chen Jiazi. It's better to be cold than afraid. Come and sit under the tree, have something to eat, and then eat the rest. Go back to your son and hold him in your arms. Drink me if you have wine, whether you have money or not.

Original text:

And Tao's Return to the Garden is the fourth of six songs? Song dynasty? Su Shi

The old man is over eighty years old and doesn't know about urban entertainment. The creation accidentally missed, and the peers did their best. I have never crossed the river in my life, but I live in seclusion in Shuibei. In Li's hand, 300 plants were broken.

Mo Yan and Chen Jiazi are afraid of cold. Come and sit under the tree, have something to eat and take the rest away. You can't be empty if you leave your son behind. Drink me if you have wine, and don't ask if you have money.

The author introduces:

Han nationality, Sichuanese, was buried in Yingchang (now Jiaxian County, Pingdingshan City, Henan Province). I have a bumpy career, profound knowledge, extremely high talent and excellent poetry, calligraphy and painting.

His writing style, Wang Yang, is unrestrained and fluent, and he is also called Ou Su with Ouyang Xiu, one of the "Eight Masters of Tang and Song Dynasties"; Poetry is fresh and vigorous, making good use of exaggeration and metaphor, and its artistic expression is unique. Together with Huang Tingjian, they are called Su Huang. The uninhibited school has a great influence on later generations, and it is called Su Xin with Xin Qiji.

Calligraphy is good at running script and regular script, and it can be innovative. Writing with a pen is ups and downs, full of childlike interest. And Huang Tingjian, Mi Fei and Cai Xiang are also called Song Sijia. Painting is the same as literature. In painting, we advocate spirit likeness and "literati painting". He is the author of The Complete Works of Su Dongpo and Dongpo Yuefu.
