Yuan Wang Yun ,"Pinghu Le Yao Temple Autumn Society-Shetan Smoke"
The smoke of the altar is scattered among the forest crows, and the wine is viewed as a lot of crops.

Towards the present, the West Mountain is refreshing, and it is not envious of the sun and sunset.

【Translation】
After the festival ended, the smoke dissipated and the crows returned to their nests. I held my wine glass in my hand and looked at the lush crops. The festive activities were very noisy, and everyone laughed and laughed. The scenery outside the Langge Pavilion is beautiful and picturesque, and the breeze is gentle, which makes people very comfortable. I am like those celebrities of the Jin Dynasty who are leisurely and do not envy glory, nor do I envy Tao Yuanming's secluded life.
【Introduction】
This song uses the story of the Jin people to describe the air around the Yao Temple as refreshing and pleasant, and also implies the meaning of the government and the simple people, and the poet further expresses his own feelings: as long as you are a noble and unworldly official, you don't have to be tired and go into hiding. This pen fully illustrates the inspiring power of the festive scene of the Autumn Society. This feeling is expressed through allusions, using no trace, showing the author's superb ability to control language. This song uses many classics, elegant words, and subtle meanings, and is unique in the yuan song.
【Background】
This song depicts the joyful scene of the Yao Temple's sacrifice to the gods celebrating a bumper harvest, when Wang Yun came out to judge Pingyang (present-day Linfen, Shanxi). The author was the judge of the Governor's Office of Pingyang Road, and the Yao Temple was within its jurisdiction. The song depicts the happy scenes of the local Yaomiao Shrine daily activities to celebrate the harvest, bringing into life the local folk customs and character, and pinning on the author's ideal of hoping for the people's life and beauty.
【Appreciation】
The Autumn Shrine is a kind of celebration of harvests and sacrifices carried out on the fifth day after the establishment of autumn. "YaoMiao Autumn Society" depicts the joy of the Autumn Shrine in depth, and the whole song depicts the joy of the Society Day and the various activities after the sacrifice ceremony, full of joy.
This song depicts the joyful scene of the Yao Temple's sacrifice to the gods celebrating a bumper harvest, and the lyricist's ambition to seek happiness for the people and enjoy with the people was composed when Wang Yun came out of Pingyang. The joyful scene depiction in the song seems to bring people back to the era when the wind and rain were smooth, the people were rich, and the world was pure.
Using the story of the Jin people to describe the fresh and pleasant air around the Yao Temple also implies the meaning of the government and the simple people, and the rule of inaction. If this is the case, there is no need to learn yuanming's chanting of the retreat verse "Mountain Qi Day and Night". This song uses many classics, elegant words, implicit meanings, and is different from each other in the yuan song.
