1, drink sixteen
Young people are scarce and swim well in the Six Classics.
If you are not confused, you will accomplish nothing if you stay for a long time.
In fact, I am clinging to poverty, hungry and full.
We live in Hengtai, where weeds have no front yard.
Keep the night brown, and the chickens will not crow in the morning.
Meng Gong is not here, so he finally saved my feelings.
A famous saying throughout the ages: if you don't doubt what you are doing, you will accomplish nothing if you stay for a long time.
Creative background: I have never been in contact with anyone since I was a child, and I am interested in the Six Classics. He gradually reached the age of forty and lived in seclusion for a long time. In the end, I firmly grasped the poverty-stricken festival and was hungry and cold. The cold wind in the shabby hut was biting and weeds covered the front yard. Sitting in clothes for a long night, looking forward to the crow in the morning. Without a confidant around me, who can I talk to?
2, "drink fifth"
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.
Ancient famous sentence: under the hedge of picking chrysanthemums, you can see Nanshan leisurely.
Creation background: This poem is also a typical representative of the artistic style of Tao poetry. In addition to the general characteristics of Tao poetry, it is more interesting, more fluent, more natural in tone and more cordial in appearance. 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.
