Meaning Translation of Ancient Chinese Opera Poems

Being bound by the official position for a long time, it is lucky to be demoted to Nanyi this time. In my spare time, I often live next to farmland and vegetable gardens, and occasionally like to live alone in the mountains. In the morning, I go to plow the fields, clear the bare weeds, and at night, I take a boat and run along the stream stones. Alone, I can't touch the vulgar generation, look up at the blue sky in Chutian and sing for myself.

I have been troubled by official hats and robes for too long, so I am glad to be an exile in this barbaric south. I am now a neighbor of growers and harvesters, and I am a guest of the mountain forest.

I plow in the morning, turn over the grass with dew, and tie a fishing boat at night to break the quiet stream. I walked back and forth, hardly meeting anyone, singing long poems and staring at the blue sky.
