The fifth part is drinking

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.

Building a house in a place where people come and go, but there is no hustle and bustle of secular communication.

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 beautiful, the fog fills the air 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

Make an appreciative comment

The fifth part is divided into two layers, the first four sentences are one layer and the last six sentences are one layer. The first four sentences show the attitude of avoiding the world for a few days, the denial of rights, and the feelings after getting rid of secular troubles. The last six sentences are about scenery, people's activities and natural scenery, and the fun I got after I retired to the countryside. The whole poem shows that the poet is tired of corrupt officialdom and determined to retire from the countryside and pursue his thoughts and feelings beyond the secular world.
