Author: Gao Shi in Tang Dynasty
The color of willow is exciting, and the spring breeze is tired of life.
I only know that one glass of wine is worth a hundred books.
Translation:
The willow branches fluttering in the wind outside the window are green, reminding people of the past. The spring breeze blows over the cheeks, which makes people hate staying at home. Now that I have settled down, I know that drinking a glass of warm wine is more useful than reading a hundred books.
Living in Idleness is a poem written by Gao Shi when he was drinking, expressing the author's feeling of being at home and enjoying himself.
Extended data
As a famous frontier poet, Gao Shi and Cen Can are called "Gao Cen", and Cen Can, Wang Changling and Wang Zhihuan are called "four frontier poets". His poems are vigorous and full of the unique spirit of the times in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. There are twenty volumes in the anthology.
Gao Shi's poems focus on people rather than the natural landscape, so he seldom writes about scenery, and when he expresses his feelings, he is often accompanied by the part of writing about scenery, so this scene bears the poet's personal subjective imprint.
"Song of Yan" describes the bleak scene with "autumn is exhausted in the dust and sand, the grass is withered, and the sun is setting on the lonely wall", and contrasts it with the desert, hay, lonely city and sunset, forming a picture full of subjective feelings, which makes the heroic and tragic battle of the soldiers more intense. Gao Shi uses simple words in his language style without carving.
