"Song of Peach Blossom Temple"

Author Tang Yin? During the Ming dynasty

In the Peach Blossom Temple in Taohuawu, under the Peach Blossom Temple were the Peach Blossom Fairy; the Peach Blossom Fairy planted peach trees and picked peach blossoms to sell for wine money.

When I’m sober, I just sit in front of flowers; when I’m drunk, I come to sleep under the flowers; half-awake and half-drunk day after day, the flowers fall and bloom year after year.

I hope that I will die in old age among flowers and wine, and do not want to bow in front of carriages and horses; the dust of carriages and horses are enough for the rich, and the wine-cup branches are for the poor.

If the rich and the noble are compared to the poor and the lowly, one is on the ground and the other is in the sky; if the poor and the low are compared to the chariot and the horse, he has to drive and I have nothing to do.

Others laugh at me for being too crazy, but I laugh at others because they can’t see through it; there are no tombs of heroes from the Five Tombs, and there are no flowers and no wine to cultivate the fields.

Vernacular translation:

There is a Peach Blossom Temple in Taohuawu, and there is a Peach Blossom Fairy in Peach Blossom Temple.

The Peach Blossom Fairy planted many peach trees, and he picked the peach blossoms to exchange for wine money.

When you are sober, sit quietly among the flowers, and when you are drunk, sleep under the flowers.

Day after day between half awake and half drunk, year after year between flowers blooming and falling.

I just want to die among peach blossoms and fine wine, and I don’t want to bow and flatter in front of the carriages and horses of dignitaries.

Traveling in traffic is the hobby of nobles, while drinking wine and flowering branches is the fate and hobby of poor people like me.

If you compare other people's wealth with my poverty, one is in the sky and the other is on the ground.

If I compare my poverty with the carriages and horses of the dignitaries, they work for the rich and powerful, but I get leisure pleasure.

Others laugh at me for being crazy, but I laugh at others for not being able to see through the world.

Don’t you see, although those wealthy nobles were once glorious, now they can’t see their tombs, they are only used as fields for farming.

Extended information:

"Peach Blossom Temple Song" is a seven-character ancient poem written by Tang Yin, a painter, writer and poet in the Ming Dynasty.

In this poem, the poet refers to himself as the Peach Blossom Immortal. He uses two completely different lifestyles and the prosperous and the poor to form a sharp and strong contrast, expressing his ordinary and real life. There is a true heart with a vulgar and negative side, and a cynical spirit.

The whole poem is as clear as words, without any allusions or gorgeous rhetoric. The tone of the language is close to vulgarity, light and natural, but it contains infinite artistic tension, giving people a sense of continuity.

Creative background:

This poem was written in the 18th year of Hongzhi (1505), which was only six years after Tang Yin was framed in the imperial examination.

Tang Yin once won the Jieyuan Award, but was later implicated in a fraud case in the examination room, and his rank was dismissed. In the long-term training of life, he saw through the illusion of fame and wealth, and believed that fame and wealth were obtained at the expense of freedom. It couldn't last long, so he decided not to be an official, so he sold paintings to make a living, living a leisurely life with flowers as friends and wine as friends. The poet wrote this poem to express his attitude towards life that he is willing to live in seclusion and is indifferent to fame.

Appreciation:

Looking at the whole poem, the layers are clear, the language is simple, the convolutions are euphemistic, and it is almost a ballad-like soliloquy. However, this kind of soliloquy has infinite implications. The artistic tension gives people continuous aesthetic enjoyment and a strong sense of identity. It is worthy of being the best among Tang Yin's poems.

Tang Yin was well-known during his lifetime. In addition to his prominent position in the history of painting, he also made original achievements in poetry. His poems are sincere and simple, informal, using a lot of spoken language, and the artistic conception is alert and fresh. He was unique at the time. With his unique and extraordinary personality and artistic temperament, he made a contribution to that era of freedom, openness and almost absurdity and chaos from one aspect. Typical and vivid interpretation. ?
