Translation of Tao Yuanming's Migration (Ⅱ)

There are many beautiful days in spring and autumn. I often climb mountains and recite new poems with my friends. Say hello to each other in front of the door, get together, have wine, and let's drink together. If you want to do farm work, go home separately and miss each other in your spare time. When we miss each other, we will put on clothes, visit each other, talk and laugh, and enjoy it.

Original text:

There are many beautiful days in spring and autumn, and new poems are written on the mountain. It's better to call each other after crossing the door, so there's wine to consider.

Farming goes back to hometown, and leisure needs acacia. Acacia put on her clothes and laughed endlessly.

Creative background:

This group of poems was written in the sixth year of Jin 'an Diyi Xi (4 10), when Tao Yuanming was 46 years old. According to Qi's Chronicle of Tao Yuanming's Deeds and Poems and Guo Weisen's Chronicle of Tao Yuanming, in the first year (405), he abandoned Peng and returned to Chaisang to live in the hometown and garden of Gyeonggi.

In June of the 4th year of Yixi (408), the old house where Tao Yuanming lived in seclusion caught fire, and he temporarily took the boat as his home. Two years later, he moved to Nancun Caotang in Xunyang, Li Nan (now outside Jiujiang, Jiangxi). "Two movements" should be written shortly after the movement.

The style of Tao Yuanming's pastoral poems has always been known for its simplicity and naturalness. This unique style is the externalization of the poet's qualitative and natural personality. Judging from this poem, the story of immigrants is a very common thing. However, in the poet's leisurely pen, the reader feels cordial and tasteful. The language used, like spoken language, is gentle and subtle, seemingly simple, but it tastes mellow, the feeling of thinking is real, and the meaning of enlightenment is far away.
