How to read this poem after half a day's rest?

The original sentence is "stealing half a day's leisure", which comes from the seven-character quatrain "Helin Temple Buddhist Temple" by Li She, a famous poet in Tang Dynasty. It means to get rid of boredom and frustration and go to an elegant and refined place to cultivate your body and mind.

Stealing a Half-Day Leisure is full of Zen. For this boring and blind life, the most rare thing is to get a moment's leisure in this troubled world.

At the beginning of this Tang poem, the poet wrote about his current living conditions. This poet, who lived in the late Tang Dynasty, was confused at heart. I can't find the direction and goal of life, and I live in a drunken dream all day long, that is, I feel dizzy all day long, and I drown my sorrows by drinking and live in a drunken dream.

After this unprovoked waste of time, I suddenly found that the good times of spring would never return, so I tried to climb the mountain ("strong mountain climbing") to enjoy the scenery in late spring, so as to enrich my life. "The sudden smell of spring scenery and climbing the mountain" are some unconscious changes of the poet. After all, the mediocre days before made the poet uncomfortable and life was boring.

The last two sentences are the most eye-catching part of this ancient poem. "I stole a long time because I met a monk in a bamboo garden." When I was climbing a mountain and visiting a temple, I came across a Taoist priest and they talked for a long time. For a person who has lost the direction of life and has no pursuit of life, coming into contact with a Taoist to talk about life is bound to gain a lot of new life insights.

Sure enough, the poet realized how fast time passed and how precious it was in his conversation with the monk. He deeply felt that "I stole a long time for leisure", and it was a rare leisure to have such an exchange with the monks in the world.

"Stealing half a day's leisure" gives the poet a new concept in his pursuit of life. Compared with the beginning of "staring blankly all day", I feel much more open-minded at this time. Perhaps there are some negative meanings in the poem, but the poet strives to pursue a natural state of life, which is quite similar to the pursuit of "nature" and "freedom" by Taoism and Buddhism.

The monk's home in Tihelin Temple

Author Li She? the Tang Dynasty

I was drunk all day, and suddenly I heard that I was trying to climb the mountain in spring.

I'm going to stay for half a day because of the monk's words.

I have been living in a chaotic drunken dream for a long time, wasting this limited life time for no reason. One day, I suddenly found that spring was about to pass, so I tried my best to climb Nanshan to enjoy the spring scenery. I talked with a monk for a long time when I visited the temple, and it is rare to get a moment's leisure in this eventful autumn.
