Taohuawu Taohua Temple, Taohuaguan Taohuaxian.
Peach Fairy cultivates peach trees, picks them and drinks them.
When you wake up, you just sit in front of the flowers, and when you are drunk, you come to sleep under the flowers.
Half drunk and half awake day after day, flowers bloom year after year.
I hope I die of old age. I don't want to bow my head in front of horses and chariots.
If you are rich, you will become a hermit.
If the revealer is compared to a hermit, one is underground and the other is in heaven.
If we compare Hua San to chariots and horses, I will have no leisure.
The world laughs at me for being crazy, and I laugh at others for not being able to see through it.
There are no graves of Hao Jie in Wuling, no flowers, no wine, and no hoes to plow the fields.
Overall evaluation:
This poem mainly expresses the poet's attitude towards life that he is willing to retire, indifferent to fame and fortune, and unwilling to give it to the secular in pursuit of leisure. Peach blossom has the meaning of seclusion because of its homophonic "escape", and it also embodies the precious spirit of pursuing freedom and cherishing the value of individual life.
Throughout the poem, * * * depicts two scenes, one is the life scene of officials and rich people in the Han Dynasty, and the other is the life scene of Tang Yin himself in the Ming Dynasty. The former only used more than ten words, such as "Bow before the horses and chariots", "dusty horses and chariots" and "mediocre", which vividly outlined the life scenes of the great officials and the rich in the Han Dynasty.
The latter is described in more detail, such as "planting peach trees", "picking peach blossoms in exchange for wine money", "sitting in front of flowers when drunk, sleeping in flowers when drunk", "I wish I would die of old age in a wine shop rather than bow down to the front of horses and chariots" and "the fate of a hermit who drinks snuff".
Although my eyes are full of fragrant words such as flowers, peaches, wine and drunkenness. There is no vulgarity, the picture is gorgeous and elegant, the style is elegant and handsome, the melody is mellow and meaningful, the image is vivid and profound.
This poem has distinct levels, simple language and euphemistic monologue. But this kind of monologue contains infinite artistic tension, giving people endless aesthetic enjoyment and strong sense of identity. It is the best of Tang Yin's poems. As Han Yu said, "the voice of peace is weak, and the voice of sorrow and joy is wonderful;" Happy words are hard to write, and poor words are easy to write well "("net talk about singing and poem preface ").

Taohua Temple in Tang Bohu. Speaking of Taohua Temple, here is a story. It is said that Tang Bohu took a fancy to a house in Suzhou, and was later abandoned by others. No one has left his job for a long time. There is also a place in Suzhou called Taohuawu. According to records, when Tang Bohu decided to buy a house, because he had no money, he had to use some of his books as collateral to borrow money from an official friend in Beijing. Later, he spent more than two years trying to write, draw and sell money before paying off the payment.
Zhou Daozhen's "Complete Works of Tang Bohu" bets this poem: "There is a' Hongzhi Ugly March'." The Chronology of Tang Bohu compiled by Zhou Daozhen and Zhang Yuezun said: "In the eighteenth year of Hongzhi, the Peach Blossom Garden blossomed and the Song of Peach Blossom Temple was written.
That is to say, this poem was written in the 18th year of Hongzhi (1505), only six years after Tang Yin imperial examination hall was falsely accused. Tang Yin once won the title of Xie Yuan, and later got involved in the fraud case in the examination room, which made him famous. In the long-term life training, he saw through the vanity of fame and fortune, and thought that fame and fortune at the expense of freedom could not last long, so he refused to make a living by selling paintings and lived a leisurely life with flowers as friends and wine as friends. The poet wrote this poem, expressing his attitude towards life that he was willing to retire and indifferent to fame and fortune.
