Tao Yuanming was a famous poet of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, who, after returning to the countryside, in addition to cultivating land and planting gardens, drank and read in his leisure time. Poets often drink with friends and write poems with pleasure, expressing a leisurely and comfortable mood. Wang Anshi was an outstanding writer of the Northern Song Dynasty, and many of his works were well received by readers.
Wang Anshi once read Tao Yuanming's literary works at night, was infected by his spirit of poverty and happiness, and also deeply loved the peach blossom source of his pen, although he was extremely envious, but he had no chance to get acquainted with this ancestor, so he had to write a poem to pay tribute to the ancients. The following is a famous poem written by Tao Yuanming after living in seclusion, and Wang Anshi felt nostalgic after reading it, and improvised "Immediate Matter".
Return to the garden
Wei Jin: Tao Yuanming
Plant beans under the south mountain, grass full of beans seedlings are thin.
Morning Xingli is desolate, with the moon lotus hoe return.
The road is narrow and long, and the dew stains my clothes.
The clothes are not enough to be sorry, but the wish is not broken.
When Tao Yuanming first returned from Pengze, he lived in simplicity, was cautious in his words and deeds, and only his villagers and family members were treated, and all he did was the mountains and forests and farmhouses. Even when the local assassin came to visit him, the poet said that he was not seen.
The poet decided to cultivate long mu and not ask about the affairs of the court, but there were not many worries in his heart, and there were countless troubles. This masterpiece expresses the scene of the author returning to the garden to cultivate, highlighting the poet's idyllic and noble feelings.
The poet studied farming, and although he was often confronted with the scene of "grass full of beans and seedlings", he was not discouraged. On the one hand, the poet actively studied, on the other hand, he also humbly asked experienced farmers for advice, wearing stars and wearing the moon every day, taking care of the farmland, and working hard.
But the poet does not seem to be tired, because many people have such a feeling, they are interested in things, even if they have been busy from morning to night, they are not tired. Tao Yuanming seems to have this feeling, so he will not be afraid of getting dirty and tired in the field, facing the loess with his back to the sky.
The author seems to be talking to people, telling the story, not rushing or slowing, but meaningful. The middle of the field is narrow and deep, the sunset is wet, and the poet bends over and bends his back, showing the hardships of labor. However, the poet has no complaints or regrets, as long as he can maintain the purity of his heart, he is determined to return to the hidden forest spring.
Tao Yuanming was happy in his suffering, painting a beautiful picture of farming. The poet has incarnated as an old farmer and truly experienced the hardships of the villagers. At the same time, poets who have experienced the life of the peasant family can more subtly depict the farmers' moon and night return to farming. The whole text combines virtual and real, plain and full of warmth, which is tireless to read.
That's it
Song Dynasty: Wang Anshi
After warm grass, the mountains and flowers are more abundant.
Across a river of water, high and low several villages.
Quiet chickens chirp at noon, and desolate dogs bark.
When he returned, he told the people that it was suspected to be Wulingyuan.
Wang Anshi worked at the grassroots level for many years when he was young and knew the sufferings of the rural people very well. Therefore, when he became the prime minister, he was determined to change the phenomenon of poverty and weakness, although the innovation encountered great resistance, it was worth trying, and it was more thought-provoking.
The poet is very interested in Tao Yuanming's fantasy of the peach blossom source, although there is an insurmountable gap between dreams and reality, but such a bold idea has always made countless people yearn.
When the poet was young, he followed his father to the north and south, and after entering the world, he also saw the cultural scenery and visited the famous mountains and rivers. This poem is a combination of the author's personal experience, but also into the imagination, full of poetry.
The opening chapter shows a good spring light, the grass is long and warblers fly, the spring is full of spring, and the path is full of grass and flowers on the mountain, as if showing the dream scene of the peach blossom garden.
The text has both delicious herbs and colorful fallen English, which makes people reverie and joy. The poet slowly climbed the mountain, and looked down at the valley, a river of flowing water shining in the sun, and vaguely could see the village hidden in the mountain pass.
As the poet walked and watched, suddenly from the village came a few leisurely chicken cries, and he could faintly hear the barking of dogs. From noon to dusk, the poet has been strolling in the mountain village, feeling the tranquility and harmony here, and when he returns, he says that he seems to have arrived at the peach blossom garden.
In fact, in the Northern Song Dynasty, the surrounding beacons were constantly burning, and the officials and officials of all sizes were constantly squeezing, and the people did not expect to be rich, as long as they could live and work in peace and contentment, leisurely and happy, they felt extremely happy. The poet's imagination is full of joy, but it just reflects Wang Anshi's sad mood of ambition.
