Laughed at for not hoeing the ground.

It is a seven-character ancient poem written by Tang Yin, a painter, writer and poet in Ming Dynasty.

In this poem, the poet pretends to be the Peach Blossom Fairy, and refers to two completely different lifestyles by "drinking from old age" and "bowing before riding a horse" respectively, which forms a sharp contrast between the rich and the poor, and shows his true heart in ordinary reality with vulgar negative side and cynical spirit. ?

The whole poem (excerpt) is as follows:

If wealth is better than poverty, one is underground and the other is in heaven. If you compare poverty to horses and chariots, he will have to drive away my leisure.

I can't see through the world laughing at me. I remember the tombs of the five great heroes. There was no wine and no flowers to plow the fields.

The translation is as follows:

If you compare wealth with poverty, it's a world of difference. If the life of the poor is compared to the life of horses and chariots, what they get is the pain of running around, and what I get is leisurely happiness.

Everyone laughs at me for being crazy, and I laugh at them for being superficial. I still remember that there were no flowers and no wine in front of the tomb of the heroes of the Five Tombs, and now they have all been hoed into fields.

Extended data:

Instead of fighting hard for wealth and self-sacrifice, why not be happy and carefree in the wine room: "cars, dust, horses and feet are expensive, people are interested, and wine and flowers are poor." If you compare wealth with the poor, one is in peace and the other is in heaven. "

"Car dust and horse feet" are just the taste of the rich, while flowers and wine are destined to become attached to the poor. If measured by money and material things, the lives of these two kinds of people are very different, but from another angle, those rich people have to be nervous all the time and walk on thin ice carefully, while the so-called poor people can have more leisure and fun, but live more naturally, truly, easily and happily.

The above six lines are all comparative descriptions, and the feelings are unfolding in a fierce collision. In each sentence, because of rhyme, the former is tight and the latter is loose, which fully shows the poet's arrogant personality and his detachment and liberation from being born in the world.

However, the real meaning is not understood by everyone. Don't you see "people laugh at me for being crazy"? And "I", however, disagreed: "I laughed at others and I can't see it." Don't you see that kings and princes who used to be all-powerful and rich are now? Not only is the body gone, but the situation has also fallen. Even the flowers and wine they despised before their death can't be counted on, and even the tombs are not guaranteed.

If they know it in heaven, they can only watch the farmers plow the fields where they are buried. "I don't look at Hao Jie's tomb in Wuling. There are no flowers, no wine and no hoes!" A word came to an abrupt end, and the aftertaste remained.
