Author: Jia Dao (Tang)
Living leisurely here, few neighbors come, and the overgrown path leads to the wilderness.
Birds are freely perched in the trees by the pool, and monks are knocking at the door.
Walking across this bridge, you can see the charming scenery of Ye Yuan, and the feet of clouds seem to be moving on the floating rocks.
I will leave here for a while, but I will come back and retire with my friends on the appointed date.

Living leisurely here, few neighbors come, and the overgrown path leads to a deserted small garden.
Birds perch freely in the trees by the pool, and monks knock on the door in the bright moonlight.
Crossing the bridge to see the beautiful scenery of Yuan Ye, the feet of clouds are fluttering and the rocks are moving.
I'm going to leave here for a while and will be back soon. I'll meet him and retire. I will never stand you up when it expires.
To annotate ...

⑵ Pool side: one is "in the pool".
(3) Parting color: Shan Ye scenery is separated by bridges.
Make an appreciative comment
Although this poem only describes such an ordinary little thing that the author did not encounter when visiting friends, it has become unique because of the poet's superb language. The poet used ordinary scenery such as grass trails, deserted gardens, birds' songs, pond trees, wild colors and cloud roots, as well as ordinary actions such as seclusion, knocking at the door, crossing the bridge and going temporarily, which revealed the realm that people had never seen before and expressed the author's longing for seclusion.
"Living in seclusion with few neighbors, the grass path enters the empty garden", and a path covered with weeds leads directly to the empty small garden; No one lives next to the garden. At the beginning, the poet described a quiet environment in concise language, and implied his hermit status by describing his friend's residence.
