He advised Yu to be a senior official, and he had a good idea and asked for a way. There will be four things, the princes take Hui Ai as virtue, and the uncle is poor and poor, so he sees it for XiaoYi. At that time, the storm was not quiet, and the heart was worried about the long service, Peng Ze went to his home for a hundred miles, and the benefits of the public land were enough for wine. So I asked for it. And a few days, there is a feeling of homecoming. Why? The quality is natural, not the result of correction. Hunger and frostbite, against one's own heart. Try to follow the personnel, all mouth and stomach self-service. So I was generous and ashamed of my life's ambitions. Hope for a barnyard, when the curtain is gone. Xun Cheng's sister died in Wuchang, fell in love with Junben, and dismissed himself from his post. Mid-autumn to winter, in the official eighty days. Because things are smooth, the fate is called "Return to Xi". Otomi year November also.

sequence

　　My family is poor and cannot farm for self-sufficiency. There are many children, there is no food in the rice tank, and everything needed to maintain life cannot be solved. Most of my relatives and friends advised me to become an official, and I also had this idea in my heart, but there was no way to seek an official. Just in time for the envoys to go out, the local officials regarded cherishing talents as a virtue, and my uncle was also entrusted to the small county because my family was poor (trying for me). At that time, the society was in turmoil, and my heart was afraid to become an official in a distant place. Pengze County was a hundred miles away from home, and the grain harvested in the public fields was enough to make wine to drink, so he asked to go there. After some days, I developed nostalgia for my hometown. Why is that? Nature is left to its own devices, which is reluctant; hunger and cold, though urgent, go against one's original intention to become an official, and feel pain both physically and mentally. In the past, when doing things for officials, they were all about serving themselves for the sake of eating. So I sighed with pity and deeply felt ashamed of my life's desire. Still hoping to serve for a year, he packed up and left overnight. Soon, the sister who married into the Cheng family died in Wuchang, and the mood of mourning was as urgent as that of a galloping horse, and he asked for his dismissal from his official position. From the second month of the autumn to the winter, he served for more than 80 days. Because of his resignation from the government, he fulfilled his wish and wrote an article entitled "Return to Xi". This was november of the year of Yi Wei (the first year of the reign of Emperor Yixi of Jin).

　　Go home! The countryside is about to be deserted, so why not go back? Since one's own soul is enslaved by the body, why is it so frustrated and sad alone? I regret that the mistakes of the past are irreparable, but I firmly believe that they can be remedied in the years to come. In fact, I have not been far from being lost, and I have realized that it is right to go home and act as an official. The boat floated gently on the water, and the breeze blew on the clothes. Ask the pedestrians about the road ahead, only to feel sorry that the morning light is hazy and the sky is not bright.

　　Finally seeing my own humble door, I happily rushed forward. The servants greeted them cheerfully, and the young children waited in the courtyard. The path in the courtyard was overgrown with wild grass, and the pine and chrysanthemum were still the same; and when the young children entered the house, the wine was already full. I took up the wine jug and drank it myself, and watched the garden trees make me smile; leaning on the south window to pin my pride on it, (more) I felt that this small place was easy to make me feel at ease. Every day (alone) walking in the garden is very interesting, the door of the small garden is often closed, walking on crutches to rest, always looking up at the sky in the distance. White clouds naturally floated out of the cave, and the tired birds knew how to fly back to the nest; the sun was dim and about to set, and I could not bear to leave, and my hand caressed the lone pine.

　　Come back! I'm going to cut off my friendship with the worldly people. Everything about them is at odds with my interests, so what do you want when you drive out? Talking to the old people in the village about how happy it is, playing the piano and reading to break the sadness; the farmer told me that spring has arrived and that I will go to the fields to the west to cultivate. Sometimes driving a towel cart, sometimes paddling a lonely boat, both to explore the deep ravine and to walk through the uneven hills. The trees are thriving, the springs are flowing slowly, and I envy that everything has its own time, and lament that my life is coming to an end.

　　Forget it! How much time is left in the world, why not go or stay according to your own wishes? Why do you want to go somewhere? Wealth is not what I want, and there is no hope of ascending to the Immortal Realm. Cherish the beautiful scenery of the good day, I will enjoy it alone, or I will help the weeds and grow; when I ascend the eastern slope, I will let out a long roar, and Sing poetry with the clear stream; let it go and end my life with the creation, and take pleasure in the destiny of heaven, what hesitation is there?
