Translation and Notes

Translation

Don't laugh that the wine brewed in the twelfth lunar month is cloudy and not mellow, and the farmer's hospitality dishes are very rich in the harvest year.

The mountains overlap and the water twists and turns, and I am worried that there is no way out. Suddenly, a mountain village appears between the willows and the flowers.

As the social day draws near, the sound of Xiao drums can be heard everywhere along the way, and the simple ancient customs are still preserved.

in the future, if I can go out for a stroll in the bright moonlight, I will knock on your door with a cane at any time.

Appreciation

This is a lyric poem about a trip to the countryside in the south of the Yangtze River. The poet closely follows the word "you" in the poem, but does not specifically describe the process of visiting the village. Instead, he cuts out the experiences of visiting the village to reflect the endless fun. The first poet of the whole poem traveled to the farmhouse, the second time wrote about the scenery outside the village, copied the events in the village, and the last time wrote about frequent night trips. Although each of them has its own emphasis, it runs through the village, and harmoniously unifies the beautiful natural scenery of the mountain village and the simple villagers' customs in a complete picture, which constitutes a beautiful artistic conception and a calm and meaningful style. The theme of this poem is relatively common, but the idea is new and ingenious, and the technique is sketchy, and it is naturally interesting without smearing words.

The first couplet presents a quiet and joyful atmosphere in the countryside in the harvest year. The word "foot chicken and dolphin" expresses all the hospitality of farmers. The word "don't laugh" expresses the poet's appreciation for the simple folk customs in rural areas.

Zhuan Lian wrote about the scenery along the mountains and rivers, which contains philosophy and has been widely quoted for thousands of years. "There is no way to doubt the mountains and rivers, and there is another village." Such a fluent, beautiful, cheerful and lively poem seems to see the poet strolling among the verdant mountains, the clear mountain springs gurgling through the winding streams, the more lush the vegetation, and the more indistinguishable the winding mountain paths. When I was at a loss, I suddenly saw the flowers in front of me bright and dark, and several farmhouse huts looming among the flowers and trees, and the poet suddenly felt suddenly enlightened. Its jubilant excitement can be imagined. Of course, this realm has also been described by predecessors, but these two sentences are particularly euphemistic and chic. After reading this couplet, people will feel that in a certain situation in life, there is an amazing fit with what the poem wrote, so they feel more cordial. What is described here is that the poet is on the shady road, walking with confidence, doubting if there is no way, and suddenly being cheerful, which not only reflects the poet's hope for the future, but also tells the philosophy of the ups and downs of things in the world. So these two poems go beyond the description of natural scenery and have strong artistic vitality.
