From: Tang Du Fu's "Guests Arrive"
The north and south of the thatched cottage are all springs, and the flock of gulls flew in.
The old lady didn't sweep the flower path for the guests. Today, it's only for you. Chai Men hasn't opened it for you yet, but it will open it for you today.
Too far from the city, too far from good food, too thin family background, only old wine.
Shall we call my old neighbor to join us, call him through the fence and empty the jar? .
There is a wave of spring water in front of and behind the house, only to see flocks of seagulls fly away and come back every day. The garden path full of flowers and plants was not cleaned for welcoming guests, but it opened my grass door for the first time for your arrival.
The market is too far away, and the food on the plate is really simple; My family is poor, and only old muddy wine entertains me. If you want to drink with the old man next door, I'll call him through the fence.
