"There is no way to recover from the heavy mountains and heavy waters, and there is another village with bright flowers" is a poem in the song dynasty poet Lu You's work "Traveling to Shanxi Village". It means: the mountains overlap and the water twists and turns. I am worried that there is no way out. Suddenly, a mountain village appears in front of me. The poem tells us that when one method fails, we can solve it in another way and find the answer through exploration.

The original

A Tour of Shanxi Village

(Southern Song Dynasty) A land tour

Don't laugh at the peasant's wine and wine, and keep enough chickens and dolphins in good years.

there is no way for mountains and rivers to return to doubt, and there is another village.

The flute and drum are close to the Spring Club, and their clothes are simple and antique.

from now on, if you take a leisurely ride on the moon, you will knock on the door with a stick all night.

Translation

Don't laugh at the muddy wine brewed in the twelfth lunar month. There are many dishes to entertain guests in the harvest island.

The mountains overlap and the water twists and turns. I am worried that there is no way out. Suddenly, a mountain village appears in front of me.

The days of playing drums and spring clubs with flutes are approaching, and the villagers' clothes are simple and the ancient customs are still preserved.

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

Appreciation

"There is no way to recover from the heavy mountains and heavy waters, and there is another village with a bright future."

On the other hand, it is full of philosophy, showing a certain regularity of life change and development, which is memorable. It shows the poet's unique thinking and spirit-it often contains infinite hope in adversity. The poet described the feeling of being lost in the lingering landscape and the joy of seeing a new scene again. People can learn from it the philosophy of life-no matter how difficult the road ahead is, as long as they are firm in their beliefs and brave in pioneering, life can be "saved from adversity" and a new realm full of light and hope will emerge.

artistic conception

This is a lyric poem.

The first couplet presents a happy harvest year in the countryside. Waxed wine refers to rice wine brewed in the twelfth lunar month of last year. Dolphin is a roast suckling pig. Full of chickens and dolphins means full of chickens and dolphins. These two sentences mean that although the taste of peasant wine is thin, the hospitality is very deep. A word "foot" expresses all the hospitality of farmers.

the word "don't laugh" expresses the poet's appreciation for the simple folk customs in the countryside.

The scenery along the mountains and rivers in the second couplet contains philosophy, which has been widely quoted for thousands of years. "There is no way to doubt the mountains and rivers, and there is another village." After reading such a fluent, beautiful, cheerful and lively poem, it seems that you can see the poet strolling among the verdant mountains, the clear mountain springs gurgling through the winding streams, the vegetation becoming more and more lush, and the winding mountain path becoming more and more difficult to recognize. 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.

This couplet shows a beautiful landscape in spring. The next couplet describes the rural customs in the early Southern Song Dynasty from nature to personnel. It is not difficult for readers to appreciate the poet's deep affection for traditional culture. "Society" is the land god. Spring Festival Society, the fifth day after beginning of spring. On this day, the farmer's sacrifice society prayed for the New Year, full of excitement, blows and blows, and full of harvest expectations. The origin of this festival is very ancient, and it is recorded in Zhou Li. Lu You praised this ancient local custom and showed his love for our country and people with his simple clothes and ancient style.

The first three chapters wrote about the external scene and blended it with their own feelings. However, it seems that the poet's intention is not enough, so he changed his pen: "From now on, if you take a leisurely ride on the moon, you will knock on the door all night with a cane." Anytime, anytime. The poet has been "swimming" for a whole day. At this time, the bright moon is hanging high, and the whole earth is shrouded in a faint clear light, which has also dyed the village after the Spring Festival with a layer of quiet color and has a special interest. So these two sentences naturally flowed out of my chest: I hope that now and then, I can ride the moon on crutches from time to time, tap Chai Fei and talk cordially with the old farmer. This situation is a great pleasure.
