Original poem
Drinking (5)
Author: Tao Yuanming
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.
The mountains are getting better and better, and the birds are back.
That makes sense. I forgot what I wanted to say.
translate
Building a house in a place where people come and go will not be disturbed by secular communication.
Ask me why. As long as my mind is far away from the secular world, I will naturally feel that my place is secluded.
Picking chrysanthemums under the east fence, leisurely, Nanshan in the distance comes into view.
In the evening, the scenery of Nanshan is very good, the fog lingers between the peaks and the birds return together.
It contains the true meaning of life. Want to distinguish clearly, but forget how to express.

"Picking chrysanthemums under the hedge, leisurely see Nanshan. These four sentences describe the poet's carefree expression of the spiritual world and natural scenery after his retirement. Picking chrysanthemums in Dongli, occasionally looking up and seeing Nanshan. In the evening, the scenery of Nanshan is very good, the fog lingers between the peaks and the birds return together. The poet thought of his seclusion from the beautiful scenery of Nanshan and realized the philosophy of returning to simplicity. Birds come and go in the evening, and the mountain is their home; I have been away from home many times, and finally I will return to the countryside, which is also my home. The poet once wrote in "Come home to Xi Ci": "Clouds come out of the hole unintentionally, and birds know it when they are tired of flying. "He takes larks as a metaphor, and the clouds are unintentional, just as he has no intention of being an official; Birds are tired of flying, just as I hate officialdom and hide. The two sentences of "birds are in harmony" in this poem are exactly the same as the two sentences of "returning to Xi Ci".
