Tao Yuanming in Wei and Jin Dynasties
Life without a base is like the dust of the road.
Life blowing in the wind, the body has gone through hardships, and it is not what it used to be.
When the world is brothers, why do brothers of their own brothers want to date each other?
When you meet a pleasure, you should be happy, and you should invite your neighbors to drink.
Once the youth is gone, it will never come again, and you will never see the arrival of the next day.
It's time for people to encourage themselves when they reach middle age. Time goes by and waits for no one.
Third, translation:
Life has no roots in the world and drifts like dust on the road.
Life blowing in the wind, this body has gone through hardships and is no longer what it used to be.
The whole world wants to be brothers, why do biological brothers want to date each other?
When you are happy, you should be happy. If there is wine, you should invite your neighbors to drink together.
Once youth is gone, it is impossible to come back and never see the next day.
We should encourage ourselves in our prime. Time goes by and waits for no one.
Fourth, appreciate:
When this poem was written, it lamented that fate could not be grasped, which made people feel confused and sad to read. Then, it aroused a little bit, and the poet persistently sought friendship, joy and a glimmer of hope in life. The last one is impassioned and makes people excited. The language of the whole poem is unpretentious, the metaphor is ordinary, and the quality is rough as jade, but the connotation is extremely rich, undulating and thought-provoking.
