Original poem:
Tao Yuanming: Wei and Jin Dynasties in Five Drinking Songs
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.
Explanation:
Living in the world, there is no noise of horses and chariots.
Ask me why. As long as I aim high, I will naturally feel that my place is secluded.
Picking chrysanthemums under the east fence, leisurely, Nanshan in the distance comes into view.
The smell in the mountains and the scenery in the evening are very good, and birds come back with their companions.
It contains the true meaning of life. I want to identify it, but I don't know how to express it
Extended data:
This poem was written in the twelfth year after the poet returned to the field, that is, in 4 17 AD, just before the demise of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. The author was filled with emotion, and wrote lofty aspirations by drowning his worries in wine. ?
Tao Yuanming's poems began to show a new outlook on life and nature. This is against the opposite attitude towards the relationship between man and nature, but instead emphasizes the unity of man and nature and pursues the harmony between man and nature.
This is the most plump and beautiful novel in his fifth novel, Drinking. With its simple language, exquisite structure, lofty artistic conception and profound philosophy, this poem has almost become the most familiar one in the history of China's poetry.
So there are the first four sentences of this poem. At the beginning, I said that although my residence was built in an environment where people came and went, I couldn't hear the noise of cars and horses. "Cars and horses are flying in the sky" is the communication of the upper class, and the so-called "crown belt is self-seeking". Because Tao Yuanming likes to complain about poverty, and people often forget that the "poverty" of aristocratic families and the "poverty" of ordinary people are not the same thing, the meaning of these two poems is ignored.
In fact, Taoists are descendants of Tao Kan, the founding father of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and are the most powerful clan in Xunyang. Therefore, although Tao Yuanming's branch has declined, it is unusual to be cold and lonely. Then there is a question: how can you do this? Then there is the answer, which naturally comes down to the core of the first four sentences-"the heart is far from being biased."
"Far" is the most commonly used concept in metaphysics, which refers to a state of mind that transcends secular interests, takes it lightly and stays at home. The "faraway mind" here is to adopt an isolated and indifferent attitude towards the world of fame and fortune, naturally alienating the cars and horses running towards the secular world, and the place where you live becomes secluded. Furthermore, "the sound of horses and chariots" is not only a real thing, but also a symbol. It represents the whole bureaucratic society's struggle for power and profit, fame and fortune.
