Poems describing hometown

1. The Guest Arrives, written by Du Fu in Tang Dynasty

north of me, south of me, spring is in flood, day after day I have seen only gulls.

my path is full of petals -- I have swept it for no others, my thatch gate has been closed -- but opens now for you.

it's a long way to the market, I can offer you little, yet here in my cottage there is old wine for our cups.

shall we summon my elderly neighbour to join us, call out the remaining cups through the fence.

Earlier, I also read three other poems of Du Fu's hospitality: Arriving at a Guest, Having a Guest, and Looking for a Passer-by. These three poems are lukewarm, and feel that Du Fu is an indifferent person, but the description of hospitality in Arriving at a Guest is completely different. The author does not hesitate to spend more than half of the poem describing the scenes of hospitality and unexpectedly inviting neighbors. This poem weaves the prospect of hometown, common sayings and feelings around you into a beautiful life scene full of interest. With its rich flavor of life and human touch, it shows the style of hometown and touches countless people who miss their hometown.

2. "Tour Shanxi Village", in Song Dynasty, Lu You

did not laugh at the peasant's wine and wine, and kept enough chickens and dolphins in good years.

there is no way for mountains and rivers to return to doubt, and there is another village.

The flute and drum are close to the Spring Club, and their clothes are simple and antique.

from now on, if you take a leisurely ride on the moon, you will knock on the door with a stick all night.

The writing background of this poem is that when the poet was dismissed from office and returned to his hometown, he was inevitably depressed. However, in his hometown, compared with the hypocritical officialdom, his hometown people's enthusiasm and simplicity and happy life made him feel infinitely gratified. It can also be seen from the poems that although the poet seems to be leisurely living in his hometown, he is actually still concerned about state affairs. This complex state of mind coincides with the scenes you saw and traveled, and Lu You's mind collided with artistic sparks, resulting in a famous sentence that has been passed down through the ages: "There is no way to recover from doubts, and the willow is dark and the flowers are bright."

at this point, I feel anxious to get back to my hometown at once. Well, today I will provide these two poems for the subject. I hope the subject and all the readers will like them. I wish you progress in your work and a happy life!
