Excerpt from the original:
Building a house is human, and there are no horses and chariots. What can you do? The heart is far from being self-centered. Picking chrysanthemums under the east fence, you can see Nanshan leisurely.
Translation:
1. Build a house where people come and go, but it won't be disturbed by secular communication.
2. Ask me why I can do this. As long as I aim high, I will naturally feel that my place is secluded.
3. Picking chrysanthemums under the east fence is leisurely, and Nanshan in the distance comes into view.
Creative background:
1, this poem was written in the twelfth year after the poet returned to the field, that is, in 4 17 AD, just before the demise of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. The author was filled with emotion, and wrote lofty aspirations by drowning his worries in wine.
The poet realized the true meaning of nature and life here. "That makes sense. I forgot what I wanted to say."
Tao Yuanming-five rewards for drinking;
1. This poem mainly describes the poet's carefree state of mind after he abandoned his official position and returned to his hometown, reflecting Tao Yuanming's life attitude and experience of abandoning the muddy secular fame and returning to nature, reveling in nature and even stepping into the realm of "getting carried away".
2. This poem takes "far" as the program and reveals the connotation of "far" in three layers.
3. The first four sentences are written about "human feelings", and the spirit is detached from worldly emptiness and forgetfulness. Four sentences are written about the materialized selflessness of looking at the surrounding scenery and immersed in the natural charm.
4. The last two sentences go further, and writing "heart" has realized the unspeakable meaning of life in the process of confusing things.
5. The artistic conception of this poem changed from being quiet and forgetting the world to being materialized and forgetting my words, which is the most profound and full embodiment of Tao Yuanming's philosophy of natural life and returning to the natural poetic style after he retired.
