Verses from landscape and pastoral poetry

1. "Visiting Shanxi Village" Song Dynasty: Lu You

Mo Xiao's farmhouse is full of wax and wine, and in good years there are enough chickens and dolphins for visitors.

There is no way out despite the mountains and rivers, and there is another village with dark flowers and bright flowers.

The flutes and drums follow the spring society, and the clothes and clothes are simple and ancient.

From now on, if I am allowed to take advantage of the moonlight, I will knock on the door all the time and night with my stick.

Interpretation:

Don’t laugh at the turbid wine brewed by farmers in the twelfth lunar month. In the harvest years, the dishes for entertaining guests are very rich.

The mountains are overlapping and the water is twisting. I am worried that there is no way to go. Suddenly, another mountain village appears in front of me.

The day of playing the flute and playing the drum in the Spring Society is approaching, but the villagers still retain the ancient custom of simple clothes.

If I can still take advantage of the beautiful moonlight to go out for leisure in the future, I will knock on your door at any time with a cane.

2. "Passing Through My Old Friend's Village" Tang Dynasty: Meng Haoran

My old friend brought chicken and millet and invited me to Tian's house.

The green trees are adjacent to the village, and the green mountains and hills are sloping outside.

Open a dining room and chat over wine.

On the Double Ninth Festival, I will come to see chrysanthemums.

Interpretation:

An old friend prepared a sumptuous meal and invited me to his hospitable farmhouse.

Green woods surround the village, and green mountains lie outside the city.

Open the window and face the vegetable garden of the threshing floor, holding a wine glass in hand and chatting about the crops.

When the Double Ninth Festival comes, please come here to enjoy the chrysanthemums.

3. "Pastoral Miscellany in Four Seasons·Part 2" Song Dynasty: Fan Chengda

The plums are golden, the apricots are fat, and the wheat flowers, snow and cabbage flowers are sparse.

No one passes by the fence during the long day, only dragonflies and butterflies fly.

Interpretation:

The plum trees turned golden and the apricots grew bigger and bigger; the buckwheat flowers were all white, while the rapeseed flowers looked sparse.

As the day gets longer, the shadow of the fence becomes shorter and shorter as the sun rises. No one passes by; only dragonflies and butterflies fly around the fence.

4. "Rain in the Mountain Village" Tang Dynasty: Wang Jian

In the rain, there are one or two roosters crowing, and the Banqiao on the road in Zhuxi Village is slanted.

The woman and the aunt called each other to bathe the silkworms and look at the gardenias in the courtyard.

Interpretation:

Cockcrows could be heard in the rain, and there were only one or two houses in the mountain village. There is a plank bridge diagonally across the Zhuxi River on the village road.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law called each other to select silkworm seeds together. Only the gardenia bloomed and swayed alone in the courtyard.

5. "Jiyu Wangchuanzhuang Works/Autumn Return to Wangchuanzhuang Works" Tang Dynasty: Wang Wei

The fireworks in the forest are late in the rain, and the quinoa is steamed to cook the millet.

Egrets fly in the desert paddy fields, and orioles sing in the overcast summer trees.

In the mountains, I learn to watch the hibiscus trees quietly, and under the pine tree, I fold the dew sunflower in Qingzhai.

Let the old man compete with others for a seat, but the seagull is even more suspicious of it.

Interpretation:

After days of rain, smoke rises slowly from the villages with sparse trees. The cooked meals are given to the people working in the east of the village.

A row of egrets flew across the vast flat paddy fields; the cries of orioles came from the lush woods beside the fields.

I cultivate myself in the mountains, watching the morning hibiscus bloom in the morning and withering late in the evening; I eat vegetarian food in the Panasonic, and I don’t touch the dew and sunflowers.

I am already a person who has withdrawn from the officialdom of pursuing fame and fortune, so why do Owls still doubt me?

6. "River Village" Tang Dynasty: Du Fu

The Qingjiang River embraces the village, and everything in the Changxia River Village is quiet.

The swallows in the hall come and go, and the gulls in the water are close to each other.

The old wife draws paper to make a chess game, while the child knocks needles to make a fishing hook.

But if there are old friends offering Lumi, what else can a tiny body ask for?

Interpretation:

The clear river flows zigzag around the village. During the long summer, everything in the village looks elegant.

The swallows on the beams fly freely, and the white gulls in the water are close to each other and accompany each other.

The old wife is drawing a chessboard with paper, and the younger son is tapping a needle to make a fishhook.

As long as an old friend gives me some money and rice, what else can I ask for?
