The vernacular interpretation of Mi Fu's "Tiaoxi Poems":
I will go to Tiaoxi (located in northern Zhejiang Province) to compose a Tiaoxi poem and present it to all my friends. Xiangyang Manshi (Mi Fu calls himself, his ancestral home is Taiyuan, because his grandfather moved to Xiangyang, Hubei Province, and once lived in Xiangyang) Mi Fu. I stayed here because of the beautiful pines and bamboos in the summer. Now in order to appreciate the beautiful scenery in autumn, I am going to Tiaoxi to see the streams and mountains there.
I usually sing about white snow, but now I want to go there to compose a song about picking water chestnuts. The sea bass is placed on the dining table like strands of jade, and the oranges are blooming all over the island, blooming with golden light. In the infinite beauty of this water palace, let me follow the footsteps of my predecessor Xie Lingyun (Traveler Saint) and have fun here.
You can rest in the bamboo forest for half a year, and enjoy the beautiful flowers in three seasons. I poured out Huiquan wine lazily and sipped, ordering a cup of Heyuan tea every time and savoring it carefully. The host, who had many wise friends, was preparing a banquet and looked around at the surrounding peaks. Their silence was also broken by the noise of the banquet. When I got up early and went to my friend's house to return the letters, I couldn't help but sigh because I missed my hometown.
I have lived here for half a year and had drinks with all the victorious friends one after another. However, because I was ill, every time we met, we would just prepare food and rice and chat. I would often borrow books from my friends Liu, Li, and Zhou.
I like a lazy and leisurely life, but I can't reject the kindness of my friends. I know that I can't hope for success in my poverty. Poverty is not a failure of principles. Only when you are sick can you discover the effect of nourishing your mind. Guests can stay in the farmyard, and the geese can fly freely in the clear sky. Follow He Huaizhi's footsteps on an autumn sail, and cross the Yangtze River by boat carrying fine wine.
Tired of wandering around as an official, I kept driving around. Just find a place to stay when it's hot. In the cooler season, they drift eastward along the river. When you go to a new place, you get to know people who are close to you or strangers, and you feel like you are at home in a foreign land. Looking at myself who was well clothed and well fed, I felt ashamed of myself for the poor but knowledgeable ancient sage Liang Hong.
Travel and food are all based on encounters and acquaintances. Like fishermen floating on the water, they usually go there just because they are interested. The poem is full of his feelings about visiting Jingshui. When he walked towards it, Bian Feng's mind suddenly became brighter and he continued to write wonderful sentences. Crossing the Yan River seems to be tracing the footsteps of Dai Gong, and you must write an article when visiting the ancient Liang Kingdom. In the evening, fishing songs are played one after another, the scene is picturesque, and there is a boat to accompany you, how comfortable it is!
Separated from my close friends in the spring, the redweeds have bloomed, and the summer when everything is lush is about to pass. The birds on the clustered branches were very contented and seemed to be looking at me affectionately. The orchids in the fields are dotted with gorgeous colors. Sitting on the bow of the boat in the dark night, the only sounds are the stones on the shore touching the river water, as if the stones are talking to me. But looking at the poor bright moon, it still filled the boat, looking so miserable.
Original text:
I will play it in Tiao River and present it to my friends. Xiangyang is full of officials. The pines and bamboos remain for summer, and the mountains and rivers leave for autumn. The white snow has been chanting for a long time, and the water chestnut has been praised for a long time. The jade perch piles up the case, and the golden orange Manchuria is gathered together. The water palace has unlimited views, so I can travel with Xie Gong. Half a year old, I cultivate bamboo, and three o'clock, I look at flowers. I lazily poured Huiquan wine and ordered all the Heyuan tea. The chairman has many comrades, and all the leaders are with him.
When the dynasty returns the beetle slips, it rises from its old nest and groans. When Yu Ju was half a year old, the princes kept drinking wine. Yu Yiji, on the other hand, just talked about it every time he arranged dinner, and borrowed books from Liu and Li, whose surname was Wednesday. I'm so lazy that I can't say goodbye to my friends. How can I understand if I know how poor I am? Poverty is not rational, and it makes you stupid, and you can nourish your mind when you are sick. A small garden can retain guests, and the young will never tire of visiting. Autumn sails look for the old man and carry wine across the Yangtze River. Tired of being an official, I become a homeless person, and I get used to wandering around a lot.
You can live wherever you like when it gets hot, and you can stay in the east when it gets cold. When we enter the country, we are close to each other, but when we are abroad, we are the same as each other. I have warm clothes and food, but I feel ashamed of Liang Hong. Traveling and eating are closely related, and the floating family is prosperous. He left his words in Jingshui and opened his lapel to Bian Feng. Passing Yan is like looking for Dai, and traveling in Liang is like giving coins. The fishermen's songs are worthy of painting, and they are accompanied by Duke Lu. Close friends are separated from each other in spring, and Hongwei lives in summer. Tuanzhi is very proud of himself and looks after me affectionately. There are orchids everywhere, but there is no sound of stone. But I pity the bright moon and still fill my boat. Extended information
