Original text:
Building a house is human, and there are no horses and chariots.
What can you do? The heart is far from being self-centered.
Picking chrysanthemums under the east fence, you can see Nanshan leisurely.
The mountains are getting better and better, and the birds are back.
That makes sense. I forgot what I wanted to say.
Translation:
The house was built on earth, quiet but without horses and chariots.
Ask me why I can do this. The heart is biased towards the outside world.
Take care of yourself and pick chrysanthemums under the hedge.
Fog in the mountains, good sunset, birds return to their nests together.
There is real meaning in this, I forgot to say what I want to distinguish.
Appreciation of works:
The main purpose of poetry is to show the poet's thinking process of understanding the "true meaning" by using the theory of "forgetting the image with pride" in Wei and Jin metaphysics, which is full of rational interest. However, it is not a boring philosophical deduction. In the poem, I wrote down my carefree mood and beautiful and distant scenery. In the realm of scene blending, I implied the philosophy that everything has its place and everything has its place.
This philosophy is refined and condensed by the poet into epigrams such as "the heart is far away from oneself" and "the truth is inside", which gives readers rational enlightenment and makes the rhyme of the whole poem more beautiful and profound.
