Said by: Returning to the Garden (I) is the work of Tao Yuanming, a writer in Jin and Song Dynasties. The original text is:
Gui Tian Yuan is in Qiyi.
Wei and Jin Dynasties: Tao Yuanming
Few people do as the Romans do. Their nature is to love nature.
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.
Translation:
When I was young, I didn't follow the custom. It is my nature to love nature.
I fell into the trap of official career and left the countryside for more than ten years in a blink of an eye.
Birds in cages often miss the mountains of the past, while fish in ponds yearn for the abyss of the past.
I would like to reclaim wasteland in the southern wilderness, keep my simplicity and return to farming.
There are more than ten acres of land around the house in Fiona Fang, and there are 89 huts and huts.
The shade of elm willow covered the back eaves of the house, and peaches and Li Lie filled the front yard in spring.
The neighboring village in the distance is faintly visible, and the smoke from the kitchen is floating in the village.
There were several dog barks in the deep lane, and a rooster kept crowing on the top of the mulberry tree.
There is no such noise in the yard, and the quiet room is full of comfort and leisure.
Trapped in a cage for a long time without freedom, I finally returned to Forest Mountain today.

Creative background:
Tao Yuanming became an official at the age of 29 and has been an official for thirteen years. He always hates officialdom and yearns for the countryside. In the first year of Yixi (405), he was forty-one, and became an official for the last time. After more than eighty days, Pengze County ordered him to resign and go home.
I never came out to be an official again. From then on, he ended his life of seclusion and being an official and lived in seclusion in the countryside. After coming back, I wrote a group of poems entitled "Returning to the Garden".
Appreciate:
Simple Living, a poet who left his official career and retired to the countryside, expressed his dislike of official life and his happy and comfortable mood after returning to the field. This is an excellent lyric poem. Poets use scenery to express their feelings and scenery to express their feelings.
Make the life picture described and the thoughts and feelings expressed blend together to form an artistic realm, so that readers can feel an artistic beauty through imagination as if they were there, thus being infected. As we feel in the poem, the field of the hut.
The elm willow under the shade, the planted peaches and plums, the distant village at dusk, the smoke from a kitchen in Yiyi, the barking of dogs in the depths of alleys, and the crow of chickens on the tops of mulberry trees, these ordinary things, touched by the poet, add endless interest and form a beautiful picture.
They are near and far, dynamic and static, colorful and bright, lively and natural. Combine this picture organically to form a fresh and natural picture.
Quiet and beautiful rural life, and from this picture, we can appreciate the poet's endless seclusion and pleasant mood of rural life, so that readers can feel a kind of artistic beauty.
The first two sentences show the poet's contempt for the world. He should not follow the crowd, but love nature. The poet's aloof personality jumps from the page. "Conforming to the common customs" means conforming to the common customs. "Falling into the dust net by mistake, thirty years."
This is the poet's repentance for his participation in official life, which goes against his nature and wastes a lot of good time! The poet grew up in Lushan Mountain and Lipeng Lake (now Poyang Lake), and the beautiful environment influenced his temperament of "naturally loving autumn mountains".
The dirty reality made him angry, which deepened his love for nature, so he regretted not making up his mind to retire early. He regarded the world as a "trap" and mistakenly thought that his career was a "dust net", but he struggled in it for so long without realizing it.
"One to thirty years" can be understood as the spelling of "thirteen years". Because the author was an official Jiangzhou in the early 18th year of Taiyuan (393), and he abandoned his official position in Pengze for 12 years. The poem was written in the following year, exactly thirteen years. But it seems more appropriate to understand it as "thirty years".
I have been an official for more than ten years, but I have boasted for thirty years, which lasted for a long time, which made the author feel more regretful. In the sentence "The caged bird loves the old forest, and the fish in the pond miss the old garden", the poet cherishes the freedom in the old forest with a caged bird.
Compared with the freedom of the fish in the pond to miss the river in the past, it further shows the author's regret and yearning for seclusion. These six poems, one sentence at a time, trace back to the source, regret being an official and yearn for seclusion.
It not only explains the reasons for his seclusion, but also paves the way for the next layer to describe the happiness of rural life. In contrast, there is a strong contrast between the depression of being an official and the happiness of returning to the field. ?
