"Breaking the wall and dripping rain, there are no monks and writers in the old house." There are two sentences of "broken wall" and "old house", which point out the simplicity of living. After breaking the wall and getting wet in the spring rain, snails crawl at will, leaving crooked marks. Because the old house has been uninhabited for a long time, swallows are allowed to fly to nest. The author doesn't write "no one in the old house" here, but "no monk", which is actually a self-deprecating pen. It shows that he is like a traveling monk, often wandering outside (some people think that the author rented a monk's room, so he said, "There are no monks in the old house." But there is no evidence). The author lives in such an old house, which shows the poverty of life.
"I want to go out and laugh, but I don't want to go back to the dust." He also wants to go out and pursue some opportunities for laughter, but he thinks that when he comes back, his temples will be contaminated with dust. These two sentences show that although the author is poor, he still maintains a proud sentiment and is unwilling to pursue it in the dust.
"The wind turns the cobweb on three sides and thunders the bees." Express your feelings at the scene. The cobwebs in the corner and the beehives in the eaves have formed the scenery of the old house under the condition of "wind and thunder shaking", while "opening three sides" and "occupying two yards" are entrusted words and ink. The author first wrote a cobweb turned by the wind, but it was wide open on three sides, and there was still room for insects to escape. The second time I wrote about the messy official residence of bees, those bees still had owners and clustered together in an orderly way, just like the official residence in the yamen. People are in the dust net, but the net is everywhere, and it is difficult to have room for manoeuvre because of the party disaster. Although he has been running for many years in the past, he still feels poor at this time, unlike bees who have the opportunity to walk around. In meaning, I deeply regret the rugged road of the world.
"I have repeatedly missed my spring appointment with my south neighbor, but it has not blossomed now." These two sentences show that he failed to live up to spring for no reason in reality. Although his neighbors invited him to attend the spring affairs several times, he missed the opportunity because he couldn't keep the appointment. At this time, there may be flowers that haven't opened yet.
In terms of artistic techniques, this poem embodies the new interest of Song poetry, because it secretly moves the picture in the seemingly pure and true sketch image, making it seem very trivial, but in fact it is promising. This poem has exquisite words, profound feelings and novel artistic conception. The structure is staggered, and the scene is connected with the narrative. The poet's meticulous and innovative ideas are everywhere.
