When spring goes and spring comes, it will end, and leisure, hate and sorrow will sprout wherever it goes.
Original poem:
Drinking alone on Qingming Day
A county official is idle and only an assistant, and the annual cold festival is Qingming. When will spring come and go? Idleness, hate, idleness and sorrow touch each other.
the lacquer swallow oriole boasts a healthy tongue, while the willow flower and elm pod are light. Stripping for Shangshan wine, laughing and dumping Li Sao alone.
Translation:
A local official's leisure position is only (Yong Tuan) deputy ambassador, and the only cold holiday in a year is Tomb-Sweeping Day.
When spring goes and spring comes, it will come to an end, and leisure, hate and sorrow will sprout wherever they go.
Swallows and orioles are singing, catkins and pods are flying.
Take off the official clothes in exchange for the wine from Shangshan (where the hermit lives), and laugh at the poems in Lisao alone.
Appreciation:
The title of the poem points out the poetic quality and poetic ambit, and reveals the poet's suffering from being an official.
"Wei" in the first couplet shows the poet's dissatisfaction and helplessness, and "Leng" shows the seasonal characteristics of Qingming, all of which show the poet's sense of exile.
On the surface, couplets are annoying spring, but in fact, they are the "leisure" that makes poets feel shocked. The words "kua" and "dou" in the necklaces are vivid and vivid, which highlight the life interest of spring by personification. At the same time, it shows that the poet's depressed mood is in sharp contrast with the natural beauty in front of him, and also reflects the poet's desire to return to nature and get rid of the secular.
The end couplet uses the allusions of Four Nobles in Shangshan and Qu Yuan's Li Sao, and the poet's mood becomes very free and easy. When he comes, he should be at ease. It is better to put his depression out of "laughter" and enjoy spring drinking with Li Sao.
The whole poem fully shows the poet's mood of self-dismissal, seeking broad-mindedness and enjoying the hermit's life in the depressed mood, which is shallow and meaningful.
