1. Chad’s new vegetables make you feel luxurious when you eat them in the morning.

Thirteen Poems on the New Residence in the Original Shang

Wang Jian of the Tang Dynasty

Newly occupying the original territory, there was no mountain to return to.

The wild vines grow leaves late, and the old apricots bloom sparsely.

The kitchen is close to the mud stove, and the family is full of food for the first time.

Brothers are now scattered, how will they be able to depend on each other again?

A new family in Yuliu has no neighbors on all sides.

People rarely worry about illness, and Zhuang Gu is lucky to be poor.

The plowing cattle are always willing to be full, and the woodcutter is always compassionate and diligent.

How can you escape from worrying about food and clothing all day long?

There is no old acquaintance in Chang'an, and a hundred miles is the end of the world.

When you are lonely, you miss meeting guests, and when you are desolate, you miss seeing flowers.

Visiting a monk to ask for cheap medicine leads to a horse being sold to a wealthy family.

Chad’s new vegetables make you feel luxurious on the plate.

The rooster crows and the village house is far away, and the flowers are also dull.

The wild bamboo shoots are just beginning to grow, but there are no seedlings in the stream fields.

The poor children and servants are thin, and the vegetables are burnt in the cold spring.

Gan Fen grew up like this and was unknown in the Holy Dynasty.

Spring comes and the pears and dates are gone, and the children cry out for hunger.

The rich chickens in the neighborhood often go there, and the poor people in the village gradually become rarer.

It’s too late to borrow oxen to plow the land, and it’s too late to sell trees to get money.

Under the wall is the official road, and the bamboo fence is built against the mountain.

I clean a room and only make a bed.

The vegetables of Yegenxi River are smooth, and the mountain paper and water moss are fragrant.

The old medicine is white at the beginning, but the new medicine is not yellow.

I have little mental energy recently, so I have taken a break from reading health prescriptions.

Intended to be a Bible reader, a clean towel will be provided in the empty room.

The tea rattan box is densely packed, and the medicinal bamboo bed is new.

Sickness and old age should follow your karma, and the causes and conditions should never leave your body.

Burn incense to lay people, and there is no way to escape the dust.

Move to live closer to the village, and survive in poverty.

Ask carefully about the pear fruit plant, and ask about the anther roots from afar.

The beautiful people opened the abandoned well and entered the new garden while the baby was still young.

Long-term love is when the mountain stands, and the door does not close at dusk.

Walking in the warmth of the forest, the new poor are happy.

Sweeping the canals worries about the bamboo drought, watering the ground leads to the growth of orchids.

The mountain visitors plant trees, and the family boys enter the city.

On the pink wall in front of the door, there is the name of the county official written on it.

The residence is outside the bells and drums, so there is no need to fight for roads and bridges.

If you are sleepy when you are free, you may be sick due to childhood illness.

The chicken is sleeping, the sun is warm, the bees are crazy and the flowers are burning brightly.

Standing at the gate of Chang'an, I looked at the DPRK.

As I get older these days, I am always careless about things in the world.

The ancient tablets are carved by people, and the idle poems are recited by guests.

Send the scriptures back to the wild garden, move the stones into the secluded forest.

The spring wind at the mouth of the valley is harsh, and the pear blossoms cover the ground deeply.

I am too lazy to learn from others and live in the woods.

The greasy clothes are not washed, and the white hair is short and combed carelessly.

There are often many tears in the face of suffering, and you will realize your weakness through hard work.

I have nothing to do with people, and my relatives have no books.

The residence is close to the mountains and close to the park where elk roam.

Wild mulberry grows through the well, and wild bamboo grows across the wall.

I am new to the neighborhood, but not familiar with the social conditions of the village.

I can’t reach the stone fields, so I rent them cheaply and cultivate them with others.

2. There will be no sheep for five days, and no fish for ten days. I am lazy and am used to vegetables, but my wife and children are angry.

——"Zhi Zhi Wu Ji Zuo" written by Chao Shuo of Song Dynasty

Zhi Zhi Zhi Wu Ji Zuo

Song Dynasty· Chao Shuozhi

The old man is like a flying feather. He has gone and cannot be recruited. Forget the accumulation of cold and heat, I found the shading.

My body is like a dead tree, causing worry and burning itself. The rivers and mountains are wandering again, and the dreams and souls of the country are exhausted.

Friends and friends dare not think about it, but they are proud of this dynasty. Brothers and sisters are separated from each other, wearing clothes and weeping in the middle of the night.

If you do this, you will be forgiven for your sins. I say that the people of this country will not be at ease with me.

There will be no sheep for five days, and no fish for ten days. I am lazy and am used to vegetables, but my wife and children are angry.

There is also a place for sleeping and eating, with elbows touching the tiles and sighing. Government does not tolerate one's knees, just like the wind behind the nest.

In this midsummer, why should I thank Yanxuan? I heard that Yan Junping had a cold and cool temper.

But I am afraid that this language may be deceptive, and the ancient ways can be ridiculed for a long time. I have despised Pan Yue all my life, and returned to Yu Tao in Huai County.

Jingjie’s true master, He Chaochao left. In the final stage, I will not fall down by myself, but I will complain while writing poems.

3. People's diet should absorb various nutrients from whole grains and vegetables, and should not be partial to food.

——Xu Teli

4. From tomorrow onwards, I will be a happy person, feed horses, chop firewood and travel around the world. From tomorrow on, I will care about food and vegetables. I have a house with a face. Spring flowers bloom towards the sea.

——Haizi

5. If you look at everything in the world from the perspective of vegetables, you will (sometimes) unknowingly fall into meditation: your previous career as a human being What exactly is it? It is not good to treat other people or things indiscriminately, dismissively and arrogantly.

——Haruki Murakami
