It describes the feeling of being lost surrounded by mountains and rivers and the joy of seeing new scenes after changing the shape; the meaning expressed is that in Adversity often contains infinite hope, and people can understand the philosophy of life contained therein - no matter how difficult it is to see the way forward, as long as you have firm faith and the courage to explore, life can "survive from desperate situations" (a bright future will appear) and a new realm of hope).

Visiting Shanxi Village

[Song Dynasty] Lu You

Mo Xiao’s farmhouse is full of wax and wine, and in good years there are plenty of chickens and dolphins.

The mountains are thick with water. There is no way to return to doubts, and there is another village with dark willows and bright flowers.

The flute and drum follow the spring society, and the simple and ancient style of clothing remains.

From now on, if you can take a leisurely stroll in the moon, you can sing at night with a stick.

Translation

Don’t laugh at the farmers’ wine, there will be plenty of food to entertain guests in the harvest year.

When the mountains and water keep appearing in front of me. , I was wondering that there was no way to go, and suddenly I saw the willows were dark green, the flowers were bright, and a village appeared in front of me.

Playing flutes and drums, forming groups to celebrate, the Spring Society Festival was approaching, and the common people were wearing plain clothes and wearing simple hats. The ancient custom is still preserved.

From now on, if everyone is allowed to hang out at night, then I will knock on the firewood door of my farm friends from time to time with my cane.
