Tang Bohu's Peach Blossom Poems

Taohuawu Taohua Temple, Taohuaguan Taohuaxian.

Peach Fairy cultivates peach trees, picks them and drinks them.

When you wake up, you just sit in front of the flowers, and when you are drunk, you come to sleep under the flowers.

Half drunk and half awake day after day, flowers bloom year after year.

I hope I die of old age. I don't want to bow my head in front of horses and chariots.

If you are rich, you will become a hermit.

If the revealer is compared to a hermit, one is underground and the other is in heaven.

If we compare Hua San to horses and chariots, I will have no leisure.

The world laughs at me for being crazy, and I laugh at others for not being able to see through it.

There are no graves of Hao Jie in Wuling, no flowers, no wine, and no hoes to plow the fields.

Vernacular translation

There are Taohuawu Taohuaan and Taohuawu Taohuaxian.

Peach Fairy planted many peach trees, and he picked them to exchange drinks.

Sit quietly in the flowers when you wake up, and sleep under the flowers when you are drunk.

Half awake and half drunk, day after day, year after year.

I just want to die of old age in the peach blossom wine room, and I don't want to bow before the horses and chariots of dignitaries.

Flow is the interest of nobles, and wine glasses and flowers are the fate and hobbies of poor people like me.

If you compare the wealth of others with my poverty, one is in the sky and the other is in the ground.

If I compare my poverty to the horses and chariots of the powerful, they work for the powerful, but I get the pleasure of leisure.

Others laugh that I am crazy, but I laugh that others can't see through the world.

You haven't seen those rich families once brilliant, but now you can't see their graves, just for farmland.

Extended data:

1. The Song of the Peach Blossom Temple is a seven-character ancient poem by Tang Yin, a painter, writer and poet in the Ming Dynasty. In this poem, the poet pretends to be a peach blossom fairy, and refers to two completely different lifestyles by "drinking from old age" and "bowing before riding a horse" respectively, and forms a sharp contrast between wealth and poverty, expressing his true heart in his ordinary reality with vulgar negative side and cynical spirit.

2. This poem has distinct levels, simple language and euphemistic monologue. However, it is this kind of monologue that contains infinite artistic tension and gives people endless aesthetic enjoyment and strong sense of identity. It is the best of Tang Yin's poems. As Han Yu said, "the voice of peace is weak, and the voice of sorrow and joy is wonderful;" Happy words are hard to write, and poor words are easy to write well "("net talk about singing and poem preface ").
