Original poem:

I was in a state of drunkenness and dreaming all day long, and suddenly I heard that spring was coming and I was climbing the mountain. .

I met a monk while passing the bamboo courtyard and talked to him, so I had half a day's leisure.

Translation:

I have been in a chaotic drunken dream for a long time, wasting this limited time in my life for no reason. One day, I suddenly realized that spring was coming to an end, so I gathered my energy and climbed up Nanshan Mountain to enjoy the spring scenery. While visiting the monastery, I accidentally chatted with an eminent monk for a long time. It was a rare moment of leisure in this turbulent world.

2. Life is full of joy.

The taste of life is the joy of happiness comes from "Huanxisha·Dry rain and slanting wind making the morning cold" by Su Shi, a poet of the Song Dynasty.

Original text:

Huanxisha · Drizzle and slanting wind make the morning cold

Song Su Shi

Dry rain and slanting wind make the morning cold, light The smoke and willows are sparse and the beach is sunny. The journey into Huaiqingluo is gradually long.

Snow foam and milk flowers float on the midday lamp, and polygonum antler and artemisia bamboo shoots try the spring dish. The taste of the world is pure joy.

Translation:

The drizzle and slanting wind made the weather slightly cold. The light fog and sparse trees seemed to make the beach more charming after it cleared up. Entering the Huaiqingluo River in front of you, you can also see the vastness of the water as if it is gradually flowing.

The milky white tea is accompanied by fresh wild vegetables for lunch. The real flavor in the world is ordinary happiness.

Extended information:

1. "Steal half a day's leisure" is the finishing touch. I had a free half-day in Fusheng because I met a monk while passing the bamboo courtyard and talked to him. This sentence has a deep Zen meaning, revealing the boring and blind life, and half a day's leisure is the most rare thing.

Poet Li She was demoted to Shaanxi and Sichuan Sicang to join the army during Emperor Xianzong of Tang Dynasty. During Emperor Wenzong's reign, he was called up to be a doctor of Taixue, and was later exiled to the south. During his exile, in the words of his poem, he was "drunk and dreaming all day long" and his mood was extremely depressed.

2. The first part of the poem describes the scene of early spring, and the second part describes the flavor of the picnic with tea when the author and his companions visited the mountains. The work is full of the breath of spring and full of vitality, reflecting the author's love for real life and his victorious and enterprising spirit.

The first part of the poem describes the scenery along the way. The first sentence is written in the early morning, the wind is slanting, the rain is thin, and the howling cold is coming. It is difficult to bear the twelfth lunar month of winter, but Dongpo only uses three words "Zuo Xiaohan" to express an attitude of not caring much.

The second sentence describes the scenery towards the noon: the rain is gradually closing, the smoke and clouds are light, the riverbank is sparse with willows, and the sun is shining. The word "mei" conveys the author's joyful heart in a very dynamic way.

The next film is a retelling of the author’s tea picnic and cheerful mood during the tour. In two sentences together, the author captured two distinctive things to describe: a cup of milky white fragrant tea and a plate of emerald spring vegetables. The two complement each other, creating a strong festive atmosphere and seductive power.
