Extended data writing background:
Meng Haoran, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, wrote a five laws about the poet visiting an old friend's house in the countryside. In the simple and natural pastoral scenery, the host and guest drank a toast at home, talking and laughing happily, expressing the sincere friendship between the poet and his friends.
At first glance, this poem seems as plain as water. Deliberate, like an idyllic Chinese painting, perfectly blends scenery, events and feelings, and has a strong artistic appeal.
This poem describes Meng Haoran's visit to a friend named Tian when he lived in seclusion in Lumen Mountain. The author is relaxed and happy, enjoying the beautiful rural scenery and creating this poem.
The whole poem depicts the beautiful mountain village scenery and quiet rural life, with plain language, natural and smooth narration and no traces of rendering and carving. However, it has sincere feelings and mellow poetry, and has the aesthetic interest of "clear water produces hibiscus, which is naturally carved", so it has become a masterpiece in pastoral poetry since the Tang Dynasty.
This is an idyllic poem, describing the quiet and leisurely life scene of farmers and the friendship of old friends. By writing about the scenery of rural life, I wrote the author's yearning for this kind of life. The whole text rhymes. Poetry is written down from "invitation" to "arrival" to "hope" and "appointment", which is naturally smooth. The language is unpretentious and the artistic conception is fresh and meaningful.
The author wrote the process from visit to farewell in kind and clean language, such as home-style form. His rural scenery is fresh and quiet, his friendship with friends is sincere and profound, and his family life is simple and cordial.
Green trees, green hills, cottages, playgrounds and Sang Ma blend harmoniously to form a beautiful and quiet pastoral landscape, while the laughter of the host and guest and the words about Sang Ma seem to linger in the readers' ears.
It is different from pure fantasy peach blossom garden, but more realistic in the prosperous Tang society. It is in this world that poets who once lamented that "the Lord of the realm is harsh on us, and the people who handle affairs are not like us" not only forgot the setbacks encountered in political pursuit, but also forgot the gains and losses of fame and fortune, even the lonely and depressed mood in seclusion.
From his glance at the green hills and trees, and his wine conversation with friends in Sang Ma, we can see that his thoughts are relaxed and even his actions are flexible. The environment and atmosphere of the farm showed its conquest here, which made Meng Haoran somewhat converted.
