Original poem:
Drinking, the fifth kind
Wei and Jin Dynasties: Tao Yuanming
Building a house is human, and there are no horses and chariots.
What can you do? The heart is far from being self-centered.
Picking chrysanthemums under the east fence, you can see Nanshan leisurely.
The mountains are getting better and better, and the birds are back.
That makes sense. I forgot what I wanted to say.
Explanation:
Living in the world, there is no noise of horses and chariots.
Ask me why. As long as I aim high, I will naturally feel that my place is secluded.
Picking chrysanthemums under the east fence, leisurely, Nanshan in the distance comes into view.
In the evening, the scenery of Nanshan is very good, the fog lingers between the peaks and the birds return together.
It contains the true meaning of life. I want to identify it, but I don't know how to express it
Extended data
This poem mainly shows the interest of seclusion. After work, the poet drank as drunk as a fiddler. Under the reflection of sunset glow and the cover of Shan Lan, he picked chrysanthemums and looked at Nanshan in the distance.
The poem shows the author's carefree mood, his love for the quiet and free rural life, his contempt and disgust for the dark officialdom, and his quiet and serene mood and carefree interest.
At the beginning of the poem "Building a house on earth, but no chariots and horses", the author says that although he lives on earth, he has no secular communication to disturb him. "The heart is far away from itself", as long as the heart can get rid of the shackles of the secular, then even in a noisy environment, it is like living in a secluded place.
These four sentences, "Building a house depends on human feelings", are written about his feelings after getting rid of the interference of secular environment. The so-called "distant mind" means that the mind does not care about the field of fame and fortune, and love is not the door of the powerful, but beyond the worldly customs.
"That makes sense. I forgot what I wanted to say." At the end of the poem, the poet said that he realized the interest of life from the beautiful scenery of nature and showed a pure and natural calm state of mind. "Here" in the poem can be understood as here and now (by the fence in autumn night) or as the whole country life.
Tao Yuanming is the first poet in the history of China literature who wrote a large number of drinking poems. His "intoxicating" voice or criticism of right and wrong has discredited the same upper class; Or reflect the sinister occupation; Or express the joy of the poet after he quit the officialdom; Or express the poet's grievances in difficulties.
Tao Yuanming is the pioneer of pastoral poetry. His pastoral poetry, with its simple and natural language and lofty artistic conception, opened up a new world for China poetry and directly influenced the pastoral poetry school in Tang Dynasty. In his pastoral poems, his boredom with dirty reality and his love for quiet pastoral life can be seen everywhere.
