1. There is little sense of vulgarity, and one’s nature is to love hills and mountains. ——Tao Yuanming, "Returning to the Garden and Living in the Fields·Part 1"
When I was young, I did not have the character to adapt to the world, and I was born to love the scenery of nature.
2. The plums are golden and the apricots are fat, the wheat flowers are sparse and the white cauliflowers are sparse. ——Fan Chengda, "Four Seasons Pastoral Miscellaneous · Part 2"
Early summer is the time when plums are golden and apricots are plump, wheat ears are blooming with white flowers, and rapeseed flowers are almost gone and are forming seeds.
3. Go out the front door alone and look at the wild fields. The moon is bright and the buckwheat flowers are like snow. ——Bai Juyi's "Village Night"
I came to the front door alone and looked at the fields in the distance. The buckwheat flowers under the bright moon were as white as snow.
4. When Tian Fu arrived and was hoeing, we met each other and talked to each other. ——Wang Wei's "Weichuan Field Family"
Farmers returned in twos and threes carrying hoes, met by chance on the field path, talked cordially, and forgot to return home.
5. From now on, if I am allowed to take advantage of the moonlight, I will knock on the door all the time and night with my stick. ——Lu You's "Visit to Shanxi Village"
If I can still take advantage of the beautiful moonlight to go out for a leisurely trip in the future, I will knock on your door at any time with a cane.
6. There is no way out despite the mountains and rivers, but there is another village with dark flowers and bright flowers. ——Lu You's "Visit to Shanxi Village"
The mountains are overlapping and the water is twisting. I am worried that there is no way to go. Suddenly, another mountain village appears among the colorful willows and flowers.
