This poem vividly describes the poet's life and feelings after retirement, and expresses the author's happy mood and rural pleasure after his resignation, thus showing his love for rural life and the joy of workers. At the same time, it implies a sense of disgust at the dark and corrupt life of officialdom. It shows that the author is unwilling to go with the flow, and is willing to endure the hardships of field life in order to maintain his complete personality and noble sentiment. In fact, the author Tao Yuanming wrote "Returning to the Garden" as his ideal former residence.
2. Original text
Go back to the garden and occupy one of them.
Less is not suitable for rhyme, sex autumn mountain.
I sneaked into the official career network and have been away from the game for more than ten years.
Birds in cages are often attached to the forests of the past, and fish in ponds yearn for the abyss of the past.
I want to open up wasteland in Minamino and keep my humility to the fields.
The house is surrounded by about ten acres of land, thatched cottages.
Willow trees cover the eaves, and peach trees cover Li Lieman in front of the hospital.
The neighboring village of the neighboring village is faintly visible, and there is smoke in the village.
Several dogs barked in the alley, and the mulberry tree was barked by a rooster.
There is no dust and sundries in the yard, and the quiet room is comfortable and leisurely.
Trapped in a cage without freedom for a long time, I finally returned to the forest today.
3. Translation
I have never appealed to the secular temperament since I was a child, and my personality is like Shan Ye. It will be 30 years to be wrongly trapped in the world's net. Birds in cages are attached to the Woods where they lived, and fish in ponds miss the deep pools where they lived. Go to southern vilen to open up wasteland, and go home to farm and go to the countryside according to your foolish idea. There are more than ten acres of land around the house, and there are eight or nine thatched houses.
Elms and willows cover the back eaves, and peach trees and plum trees stand in front of the hall. In the distance, the residential villages are faintly visible, and the smoke on the trees flutters gently with the wind. Dogs bark in deep alleys, and mulberry trees crow. There are no worldly chores in the door, and there is plenty of free time in the empty room. Trapped in a cage for a long time, now I can finally return to nature.
