How old was Lu You when he wrote A Tour of Shanxi Village?

This poem was written on Song Xiaozong Avenue for three years (1 167). Prior to this, Lu You served as the judge of Longxing House. Because he strongly sponsored Zhang Jun's Northern Expedition, he was disintegrated by the capitulators and dismissed from office, and lived in Yinshan Jinghu Lake (now Shaoxing City, Zhejiang Province). Of course, the poet is indignant at heart. Compared with the murky officialdom, simple living in my hometown will naturally bring infinite comfort. "Shanxi Village" in the poem refers to the village to the west of Sanshan Town. This poem describes the local customs, which is very interesting.

This unique poem was written in the early spring of the third year of Song Xiaozong Avenue (1 167). At that time, Lu You was retiring and living at home. A year ago, Lu You actively supported the Northern Expedition of Zhang Jun, the general who resisted gold in the second year of Longxing (1 164). After Liv's defeat, he was also expelled from the court by landlords and capitulationists. He was dismissed from Longxing House (now Nanchang City, Jiangxi Province) on charges of "encouraging Zhang Jun to fight". When Lu You returned to his hometown, his mood was quite complicated, with anguish and resentment intertwined, but he was not disheartened. The patriotic feelings of "generosity is still strong" (Yu Wen) made him feel hope and light in rural life, and poured this feeling into his poetry creation.

The trip to Shanxi Village vividly depicts the beautiful rural scenery and is full of rich flavor of life. Among them, Ghost in no way back, There's a Village in the Dark contains philosophy, which has been passed down to this day.
