Ties are actually a way to entertain guests. Because I live in a remote place, far from the market, the transportation is inconvenient, I can't buy more dishes, and the banquet is not rich. Poor family, no new wine, can only entertain you with thin old wine.
The above is a virtual description of the guests, and the following is a real description of the guests. The author abandoned other plots and chose the life scene that can best express the affection between the guest and the host, and deliberately painted it. The host is warm and hospitable, and frequently advises him to drink, but he can't help feeling sorry for the lack of food and wine.
Records of Hakka in Tang Dynasty: Du Fu
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.
If you are willing to invite the old man next door to drink with you, he will drink his cup through the fence!
Translation:
The thatched cottage is surrounded by green water in the north and south, and the spring is rippling, only to see seagulls flying in groups 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.
It's too far from the market, there are no good dishes on the plate, and the poor at home only serve old wine and muddy wine. If you want to drink with the old man next door, I'll call him through the fence.
