In Song Dynasty: Xin Qiji
A stream of water came from the west, with a thousand feet of clear rainbow and ten miles of green screen. I like the thatched cottage after the age of 2, and I will come back to Du Lao, and I will live up to the good scenery of Xiechuan. The old crane flies high, one stays overnight, and the snail wears the house for a long laugh. It's flat. Stay in a very good place and set up a pavilion.
the green hills are full of spirits. Like a charming life for my return. Solve the frequency to teach flowers and birds, dance before the song, but also urge the clouds and water, and send them to the DPRK at dusk. A wine saint and a poet may have no power, but I am in charge of you now. On the Qingxi River, the mountain spirits laughed, and the white hair returned to the farm.
Translation:
A stream comes from the west, and the clear Wan Li reflects a thousand-foot-long rainbow. The green hills in ten miles are like green screens, winding and winding. What people like is that the thatched cottage has been built for a year.
I came to the thatched cottage for the second time like Du Fu. The scenery here is as beautiful as Xiechuan, and it has finally lived up to Tao Yuanming, who loves mountains and rivers. I am flying high in the sky like an old crane, and it is enough to have a branch to perch on.
I always laugh at people crawling around in their houses like snails. I have planned and commented on the architecture of this place, until I find a very beautiful place to cover with a small thatched pavilion.
The tall and steep green hills are magnificent and full of vitality, as if to welcome me back, showing a charming and lovely gesture.
To relieve my worries, I trained flowers and birds to sing and dance before and after me. It can also urge clouds and dusk to send me to visit here.
I am a saint who drinks wine and a hero who recites poems, but I am not an official. I may have lost my power, but I tell Hua, Bird, Cloud and Water that I can still command you.
I was standing on the clear stream, but I was seen by the mountain god. He laughed at me and said that my hair was white and I had already quit my job and went home to farm.

It's not enough to spit, and
it's enough to chat.
I don't know how to rise, but
it actually sticks to the wall.
Translation:
The fishy saliva can't fill the shell, but it can moisten itself at best.
if you only care about climbing high, you don't know how to turn back.

Tang Dynasty: Bai Juyi
traveled to Kyoto in the twentieth spring, and there was nowhere to be poor. There is still room for envy of snails.
it's better to learn to hide. Let's stand on the ground and avoid being like a puppet drifter. ?
however, I'm content to be a Taoist, and I dare to say goodbye to the hustle and bustle.

I have been an official in Beijing for 2 years, and I have nowhere to settle down in poverty. I often envy snails for forgiveness.

If you have a hiding place, you will be satisfied and dare to stay away from narrowness and noise.

Spring Showing Neighborhood
Song Dynasty: Chen Shidao
The broken wall is raining, and there is no monk and swallow writer in the old house.
I want to go out and laugh, but I feel ashamed to return to the dust.
the wind turns the spider's web on three sides, and the thunderous bee takes advantage of both sides.
I have repeatedly missed my neighbor's spring appointment, but only now I have not blossomed.
Translation:
The broken wall was wet by the spring rain, and snails crawled and left crooked seal characters. There were no monks in the dilapidated old house, only Liang Yan committed crimes and regarded it as a writer.
The spring scenery is beautiful, and I really want to go out to follow the laughter, but when I come back, I feel dusty on my temples and dusty on my face.
When the spring breeze blows over the cobwebs, the flying insects can still escape on three sides. Spring thunder shakes the bee's nest, and the wasps can be arranged in an official position.
I broke my promise several times and couldn't go to the south neighbor to enjoy the spring date. I just hope there are still spring flowers that haven't opened yet.

The snail's horn has a hollow reputation and a small profit, which is very busy. The cause of fame and fortune is not necessarily strong, but the loser is not necessarily weak. Hurry, while the idle body is not old, put aside the shackles, indulge self, carefree. Even if only for a hundred years, I would like to get drunk and 36, yards.
think. How much can you do? Worry about the wind and rain, and half of them will hinder each other. Why bother to talk short? It is better to face the bright wind and bright moon, with moss as the mattress, and the high cloud as the screen, to live quietly. Life in the south of the Yangtze river, a thousand - minute wine, a graceful " man ting Fang. ".
Translation:
What's the point of keeping busy for a small nominal profit? The gain and loss of fame and fortune are free karma, the winner may not be strong, and the loser may not be weak. Hurry up, while you are idle, put aside the shackles, indulge yourself and be at ease. Even if it's only a hundred years, I'm willing to get drunk for 36 thousand games.
According to meditation, half the days of my life are disturbed by sorrow and wind. What's the point of gossiping all the time? It is better to face the cool breeze and bright moon, take moss as a mattress and high clouds as a curtain, and live in peace. How good life is in the south of the Yangtze River, a thousand minutes of fine wine and an elegant "Man Ting Fang".
