original text

Don't laugh at the farmhouse music brewed in the muddled month. In the harvest month, the dishes for guests are very rich.

There is no way to go because of the winding water flow in the mountains, and a mountain village suddenly appears in the willow-green flower bay.

The day of playing flute and drums is approaching, and the villagers are still dressed simply.

From now on, if you ride leisurely on the moon, you will lock the door all night.

translate

Don't laugh at the muddy wine brewed by farmers in the twelfth lunar month. In the harvest year, there are rich foods to entertain guests. There are mountains and water, and when I doubt whether there will be no way out, I suddenly see dark green willows and bright colors, and another village appears in front of me. You play the flute, I play the drums and celebrate together. The Spring Festival is approaching, and the clothes made of cloth, the most common hat and the quaint ancient style still exist. Starting from today, if I can wander in the moonlight, I, a white-haired old man, will also knock on Chai Men, a farmer friend, with a crutch.

Make an appreciative comment

This lyric poem by Ji You is one of Lu You's masterpieces.

The first couplet shows the quiet and joyful atmosphere in the countryside in the harvest year. Waxed wine: refers to rice wine brewed in the twelfth lunar month last year. Dolphin: It's a pig. Full-legged chicken and dolphin: it means full-legged chicken and dolphin. It is said that although the taste of farm wine is thin, the way of hospitality is deep. A word "foot" expresses all the hospitality of farmers. The word "don't laugh" expresses the poet's appreciation of the simple folk customs in rural areas.

The second couplet is about the scenery along the mountains and rivers, which contains philosophy and has been widely quoted for thousands of years. "There is no doubt about mountains and rivers, and there is another village." Such a smooth, beautiful, cheerful and lively poem seems to see the poet strolling among the verdant forests, and the clear mountain spring gurgling through the winding streams. The more lush the vegetation, the more difficult it is to distinguish the winding mountain roads. When I was at a loss, I suddenly saw the flowers flickering in front of me, and several peasant cottages were looming among the flower trees, and the poet suddenly felt suddenly enlightened. The degree of excitement can be imagined. Of course, this realm has also been described by predecessors, but these two sentences are particularly euphemistic and chic. When people discuss knowledge and study problems, it often happens that the mountains turn to water, and they are confused and hard to find a way out. So I suddenly felt a sense of emptiness. However, if you persevere and move on, suddenly a ray of dawn appears in front of you. Go on, and you will be suddenly enlightened and discover a new world that you have never seen before. This is the inspiration of this connection and the unique interest of Song poetry.

The flute and drum are close to the Spring Club, and the clothes are simple and old. After reading it, people will feel that there is an amazing fit with poetry in a certain situation in life, so they feel more cordial. What is described here is that the poet walks on the shady road, confidently, wondering if there is no road, and suddenly becomes cheerful, which not only embodies the poet's hope for the future, but also tells the philosophy of ups and downs of the world. Therefore, these two poems transcend the description of natural scenery and have strong artistic vitality.

The first three books are about the outside world, with their own emotions. But it seems that the poet's intention is not enough. He turned his pen and said, "From now on, if you ride on the moon leisurely, you will knock on the door all night with a cane." Anytime, anytime. The poet has been swimming all day. At this time, the bright moon hangs high, and the whole earth is shrouded in faint clarity, which also gives the village after the Spring Festival a layer of quiet color and has a special taste. So these two words naturally flowed out of my chest: I hope to ride the moon with crutches from time to time, gently fly and have a cordial conversation with the old farmer. This situation is a great pleasure. The image of a poet who loves his hometown and is close to farmers is vividly on the paper.

The poet was impeached by the capitulators and went home. Of course, he was angry. Compared with the treacherous officialdom, the simple life in my hometown will naturally bring infinite comfort. In addition, although the poet seems to be leisurely, he failed to forget the state affairs. People who grasp the country are short-sighted and have no long-term plans. However, the poet did not lose heart and was sure that one day he would not be extremely successful. This state of mind coincides with the place where you want to go, so the two sides negotiated and produced a connection between "the weight of the mountain" and "the bright future".

Lu you's seven laws are the best. This seven-law has a rigorous structure and a prominent main line. There is no "you" in the eight sentences of the whole poem, but the word "you" is cut everywhere, which is full of fun and endless. And hierarchical. In particular, the two couplets in the middle are neat and good at writing difficult scenes, such as pearls falling on jade plates, which are fluent and reach a high artistic level.
