Pastoral poetry

Guiyuan Tianju (1)

Tao Yuanming

Few people do as the Romans do. Their nature is to love nature.

Fall into the dust net by mistake, thirteen years.

Birds in cages are often attached to the forests of the past, and fish in ponds yearn for the abyss of the past.

Open up wasteland in the south and return to the garden.

The house is surrounded by about ten acres of land, thatched cottages.

Willow trees cover the eaves, and peach trees cover Li Lieman in front of the hospital.

The neighboring village of the neighboring village is faintly visible, and there is smoke in the village.

Several dogs barked in the alley, and the mulberry tree was barked by a rooster.

There is no dust and sundries in the yard, and the quiet room is comfortable and leisurely.

Trapped in a cage without freedom for a long time, I finally returned to the forest today.

Tao Yuanming's Return to the Garden has five songs, and this is the first one. As the first song, the poet first explained the reason why he returned to the garden, and then introduced the residence he built after returning to the garden. I don't know whether intentionally or unintentionally, the poet revealed a lot of information in it.

Few people do as the Romans do. Their nature is to love nature. Tao Yuanming is unique. Although he is not necessarily honest, he does not blame others or society. He attributes his return to the garden to his own personality. Confucius said, "The knower enjoys water, and the benevolent enjoys Leshan; The knower moves, and the benevolent is quiet; Those who know are happy, and those who are benevolent are longevity. " (The Analects of Confucius Yongye) Tao Yuanming regards himself as a benevolent person. The benevolent loves others, but the poet seems to cherish himself more.
