"Returning to the Garden and Living in the Fields Part Three"
Wei and Jin Dynasties·Tao Yuanming
Growing beans at the foot of the southern mountain, grass The bean sprouts are sparse.
In the morning, I clean up the wasteland and filth, and return with a hoe in the moonlight.
The road is narrow, the grass and trees are long, and the evening dew touches my clothes.
I don’t regret the stain on my clothes, but my wishes are fulfilled.
Translation
I plant beans at the foot of Nanshan Mountain. The ground is full of weeds and the bean seedlings are sparse.
Get up early in the morning and go to the fields to weed weeds. When night falls, under the moonlight, you go home with your hoe.
The path on the mountain path is narrow and overgrown with vegetation, and the dew from the setting sun wetted my clothes.
There is nothing to feel sorry for if your clothes get wet, as long as it does not violate your wish to go into seclusion.
Creative background
This poem was written in 405 AD. At that time, Tao Yuanming was serving as the county magistrate in Pengze, Jiangxi Province. After more than eighty days, he claimed that he was unwilling to "pay for five measures of rice." "Bend your waist to the village boy" and go home with a seal. From then on, he ended his life of being sometimes invisible and sometimes official, unable to control himself, and he ended his life in the countryside. After returning, he wrote a set of five poems "Returning to the Garden and Living in the Fields". This poem is the third of them.
