The original text is as follows:
Because of human nature, there are many beautiful sentences, and the language is not amazing!
Old poems are prosperous, but flowers and birds are not sad in spring.
I have a new clothes and a stockade by the river. I can fish leisurely. I have prepared a wooden raft to replace the boat in the river.
I hope that Tao Yuanming, Xie Lingyun and other poetry masters will definitely chat with each other and have a tea party.
Vernacular translation:
I am aloof from human nature and obsessed with writing poems. My poems must be amazing, otherwise I won't stop. Poetry is still mediocre when you are old, so don't worry about spring flowers and autumn birds. Not long ago, a water sill was built in front of the door for fishing on the railing, and sometimes it can be used as a boat when you get on a raft. I hope I can find people like Tao Qian and Xie Lingyun as friends, sing poems with them and travel together!
Seven-character verse is a genre of China's traditional poetry, which belongs to the category of modern poetry. It originated from Shen Yue's new-style poem, which paid attention to the antithesis of metrical patterns when the Qi Dynasty was in the Southern Dynasty. It was further developed and stereotyped by Shen Quan and Song in the early Tang Dynasty and matured by Du Fu in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Its meter is rigorous, which requires the unity of words in the poem. It consists of eight sentences, and each sentence has seven words. Every two sentences are a couplet * * * quadruple, which is divided into first couplet, parallel couplet, neck couplet and tail couplet. The two couplets in the middle demand antithesis.
