Ten of Tao Yuanming's pastoral poems are as follows:
1. There is little suitable vulgar rhyme, and nature loves hills and mountains.
From one of "Five Poems on Returning to the Countryside" by Tao Yuanming of Jin Dynasty.
Suitable for vulgarity and suitable for worldly temperament. Sex, nature. It is our nature to not love the glory and wealth of the world, but to love the mountains, rivers and nature. This is the poet's spiritual monologue and a true confession of his life aspirations and ideal interests.
2. Indulge in distant love in the middle of the cup, forgetting the worries of others for thousands of years. And I am very happy today, but tomorrow is not what I want.
From Jin Tao Yuanming's "You Xiechuan".
中觞, 觞中, that is, in the cup. Indulge, indulge. This sentence is intended to persuade people to enjoy themselves in time, which is quite consistent with the decadent thought of "Today's wine is drunk today, tomorrow's sorrow will come tomorrow's sorrow".
3. The name of the deceased is like floating smoke to me.
From Jin Dynasty Tao Yuanming's "Resentful Poetry Chu Tiao Shi Pang Zhubu Deng Zhizhong".
Xu sigh, this refers to sigh and emotion. If, like. Your posthumous reputation is like a cloud of smoke, so don't worry about it. It means that life is short, it is better to enjoy yourself in time.
4. In the great waves, neither joy nor fear. Do what you have to do and don't worry about it.
From Jin Tao Yuanming's "Three Poems on Shapes, Shadows and Gods·Shenshi".
Run the waves and devote yourself to it. Dahua refers to natural changes. Also, also. No more, no need. Life and death are the laws of nature. They will come when they are supposed to come. There is no need to be afraid or worry too much. This is the poet's view on the issue of life and death, which is very optimistic.
5. Looking at the white clouds in the distance, I feel nostalgic for the past.
From the first of "Two Poems of He Guo Zhubu" by Tao Yuanming of Jin Dynasty.
Yihe, so much. This poem describes the poet's transcendent and leisurely feeling after getting rid of the officialdom cage, wandering in the forest, looking at the white clouds in the distance, thinking about the ancient sages, and expressing the eternal thoughts. Don't let go of the green mountains, and keep your roots in the broken rocks.
6. Be encouraged in time, time waits for no one.
From one of "Twelve Miscellaneous Poems" by Tao Yuanming of Jin Dynasty.
Encourage and work hard. Wait, wait. This sentence means that you must seize the time and work hard to make progress, otherwise you will regret missing the great time.
7. How many things can you do in your life? It is as sudden as lightning.
From the third part of "Twenty Poems on Drinking" by Tao Yuanming of Jin Dynasty.
Fu, again. Suddenly, very quickly. Current, lightning. Shocked, flashed. How long can a person's life last? It was as fast as lightning passing by. This uses lightning as a metaphor for the shortness of life, sighing that time is fleeting and life is short, and the sigh reveals a deep sense of helplessness.
8. The sun and the moon throw people away, and those who have ambitions cannot achieve success.
From "Twelve Miscellaneous Poems" by Tao Yuanming of Jin Dynasty.
To throw means to throw away. Gaining momentum, this refers to realization. Time flies away from people, and ambitions cannot be realized. This is a sigh of relief that time is short and it is difficult to achieve great ambitions, and there are complaints in regretting the time.
9. When looking at the clouds, I feel ashamed of a tall bird; when I look at the water, I feel ashamed of a fish swimming in it.
From Tao Yuanming of Jin Dynasty's "Azuo, the Sutra of Zhenjun and Joining the Army".
Looking up at the birds soaring into the blue clouds and overlooking the fish swimming in the active water, the poet felt extremely ashamed. Why is this? Because at this moment, he had to take up an official position against his will in order to feed himself and make a living, and jump into the officialdom that he hated very much. These two sentences are not only to express the poet's emotional pain, but also to reveal the poet's desire for freedom.
10. If you understand the past, you should not remonstrate, but if you know what is coming, you can pursue it.
From Jin Dynasty Tao Yuanming's "Return and Lai Xi Ci".
If you don’t remonstrate, you can’t use words to persuade. Realize that the past can no longer be discouraged with words: know that some things in the future can still be remedied.
