Original text:
Taohuawu Taohuaan, Taohuaan Taohuaxian.
Peach Fairy nurtures peach trees and breaks flower branches for drinking.
When you wake up, you just sit in front of the flowers, and when you are drunk, you will sleep.
Before and after the flowers, day after day, drunk every year.
I don't want to bow in front of horses and chariots, but I want to die of old age.
Cars, dust and horses are interesting, and hops are poor.
If wealth is better than poverty, one is underground and the other is in heaven.
If you compare poverty to horses and chariots, he will have to drive away my leisure.
I can't stand the world laughing at my madness.
There is no tomb of Hao Jie in Wuling, no wine, no flowers and no hoes.

Translation:
There is a peach temple in Taohuawu, and there is a peach fairy below.
Peach Fairy planted peach trees and broke off peach branches to pay for drinks.
When you wake up, you just sit in front of the peach blossom. Sleep under the peach blossom when you are drunk.
Next to the peach blossom day after day, I was drunk and awake year after year.
I just want to spend my whole life enjoying flowers and drinking, and I don't want to bow down in front of luxurious chariots and horses.
Running around by horse is the pleasure of the rich, while those who have no money look for wine, snuff.
If you compare wealth with poverty, it's a world of difference.
If the life of the poor is compared to the life of horses and chariots, what they get is the pain of running around, and what I get is leisurely happiness.
Everyone laughs at me for being crazy, and I laugh at them for being superficial.
I can't see the tomb of the heroes of the Five Tombs. There are no flowers and no wine, and now they are all hoed into fields.

No flowers and no wine: it means that no one has come to sacrifice, and it is a ritual custom to let flowers and drink.

Creative background:
This poem was written in A.D. 1505 (the 18th year of Hongzhi), only six years after Tang Yin Imperial Examination Hall was falsely accused. Tang Yin once won the title of Xie Yuan, and later got involved in the fraud case in the examination room, which made him famous. In the long-term life training, he saw through the illusion of fame and fortune. The poet wrote this poem, expressing his attitude towards life that he was willing to retire and indifferent to fame and fortune.

Appreciate:
The picture of the whole poem is gorgeous and elegant, the style is elegant and handsome, and the melody returns to the sky and dances with snow, which means mellow and profound. Although my eyes are full of fragrant words such as flowers, peaches, wine and drunkenness, there is no vulgar meaning, but the brushwork is straight through the back of the paper, which makes people suddenly realize. This is the strength of Tang Yin's poetry painting, and this poem is Tang Yin's masterpiece.
The first four sentences of the poem are narratives, saying that he is a peach fairy who lives in seclusion in Taohuawu, Suzhou, and planting peach trees to sell peach blossoms and wine is a portrayal of his life. These four sentences deliberately highlight the image of "peach blossom" by authentic means, and use peach blossom as a metaphor for a hermit, vividly depicting the image of a hermit who is leisurely in the forest, free and easy, loves life and is as happy as a fairy.
The last four sentences describe the poet's life with flowers as neighbors and wine as friends. No matter he was drunk, he never left the peach blossom, day after day, year after year, letting time flow, letting flowers bloom and fall, and not changing his original intention. This obsession with flowers and wine shows that he cherishes life extremely.
The following four sentences directly point out my desire for life: I don't want to follow the door of wealth, but I would rather die of old age. Although the rich enjoy traveling, the poor can become attached to drinking snuff. By comparison, I wrote two different kinds of life fun, the poor and the rich.
The next four sentences are arguments, which profoundly reveal the dialectical relationship between the rich and the poor through the comparison of advantages and disadvantages: on the surface, the ratio of the rich and the poor is one in the sky and one in the ground, but in fact, the rich are not as leisurely as the poor. If the wealth of horses and chariots is exchanged for the leisure of the poor, the author thinks it is not desirable. This kind of values that despise fame and fortune is tantamount to creating the world in an era when everyone pursues wealth. It embodies the author's profound insight into life and his detached and open-minded life realm, and is a wise choice for life. What is associated with wealth must be Lawton. Money can buy enjoyment, but it can't buy a leisurely poetic life. Although poor, it does not lose the joy of life and the richness of spirit, which is a portrayal of the life of frustrated literati in ancient times.
The whole poem has distinct levels, simple and euphemistic language, and is almost a folk monologue. However, it is this kind of monologue that contains infinite artistic tension and gives people endless aesthetic enjoyment and strong sense of identity. It deserves to be the best in Tang Yin's poems. This also coincides with Han Yu's "the voice of peace is weak, and the voice of sorrow and joy is wonderful;" Happy words are hard to write, and poor words are easy to write well "("net talk about singing and poem preface ").
