Answers to Reading Tao Yuanming's Drinking (V)

What do you mean by "foresight"? -Keep your thoughts and feelings away from this world.

"Far" is the most commonly used concept in metaphysics, which refers to a state of mind that transcends secular interests, takes it lightly and stays at home. The "faraway mind" here is to adopt an isolated and indifferent attitude towards the world of fame and fortune, naturally alienating the cars and horses running towards the secular world, and the place where you live becomes secluded. The word "Yuan Zhi" in drinking is the poetic eye of the whole poem, which not only summarizes the first three sentences, but also opens up the realm of the second half. It is precisely because the "far heart" is not secular that it is possible to pick chrysanthemums alone under the east fence, watch the mountains leisurely and see the beautiful scenery of birds returning to the mountains in the sunset. The harmony of nature and the enlightenment of the weary birds returning to the mountains give the poet a feeling, and he is intoxicated with the information, needless to say. These are all because "the heart is far away" transcends the secular and melts into nature.

Comment and analysis

After the poet retired, he was very quiet and did not associate with dignitaries. Enjoying the beauty of nature leisurely is undoubtedly a kind of spiritual comfort and enjoyment, so he thinks that this seclusion life contains the real meaning of life. The phrase "picking chrysanthemums under the east fence and seeing Nanshan leisurely" shows the author's love for nature and broad-minded mind, which is the most beautiful.

"Picking chrysanthemums under the east fence, leisurely seeing Nanshan"

The word "carefree" expresses the poet's inner leisure, tranquility and freedom; The word "Jian" shows the poet's sudden encounter with the beautiful scenery of Nanshan when picking chrysanthemums. The beauty of these two sentences is that I have no intention of looking at the mountains, but I look at them from a distance, and my heart swims with things, reaching the realm of forgetting things and forgetting myself. The sentence "Ask what you can, and your mind is far from self-centered" contains a philosophy that your mind is far from the shackles of the secular, and even if you live in a noisy environment, you don't feel "noisy". "There is truth in this, but I have forgotten what I said when I wanted to defend myself." The pastoral life in this scene contains the true meaning of life. I want to distinguish it, but I forget what language to express it in. In fact, what the author really means is: there is the true meaning of life in it. Why should we distinguish it and express it in words? The poet didn't really forget the words, but didn't say anything.

That's all I can do for you. Please organize yourself ~ \ (o)/~
