My retreat in Zhongnanshan
(Tang) Wang Wei
After middle age, I have a strong kind heart, and I didn't settle down at the edge of Mount Zhongnan until my later years.
Interest concentration is often unique to play and have a happy thing to enjoy self-appreciation.
Sometimes go to the end of the water to seek the source, or sit and watch the ever-changing clouds rise.
Occasionally I met a village elder in the Woods, and I chatted with him until I often forgot to go home.
Brief analysis:
This poem is one of the representative works of the pastoral poet Wang Wei in Tang Dynasty. In the poem, the leisure of enjoying oneself after retirement is vividly written. The poet was depressed and wandered alone. At the end of the water, he sat still and watched the changes of the clouds, vividly depicting the image of a hermit, just like seeing him. Talking and laughing with the old people in the mountains, forgetting the time to go home, I am very free. This is a typical example captured by the poet in a typical environment. This poem vividly describes the leisure after retirement and highlights the open-minded character of retirees. As simple as words, very artistic, poetic and interesting.
