This sentence comes from Su Shi's Transcendental Platform in the Song Dynasty.
Original paragraph:
I moved from Qiantang to Jiaoxi, released the boat and took the horses and chariots; Carve the beauty of the wall and cover the rafters; Back to the lakes and mountains, but also suitable for the wild of Sang Ma. From the beginning to the present, the age ratio is not high, thieves are everywhere, and prison lawsuits are full; And the kitchen is boring, and the eclipse is chrysanthemum.
People are too worried to be happy. In a year's time, he was rich in appearance, with white hair, and fought against the black during the day. Give pleasure to the simplicity of its customs, and its officials and people feel comfortable with it. Therefore, the best way is to repair dilapidated gardens, clean their courtyards and cut down anqiu and dense trees.
Translation:
I moved from Hangzhou to Renzhizhou, Mizhou, giving up the comfort and happiness of taking a boat and bearing the fatigue of riding a horse. Give up the gorgeous and beautiful house carved on the wall and hide in the house made of rough wood; Away from the lakes and mountains, I took Sang Ma to the wilderness.
When I first came, the harvest was getting worse every year, thieves were everywhere, and there were countless cases; And the kitchen is empty, eating wild vegetables every day. People must suspect that I will be unhappy. But after living here for a year, my face is all white and my hair is getting darker every day. I like the simple folk customs here, and the officials and people here are used to my stupidity and incompetence.
So, here, I trimmed the garden, cleaned the quadrangle, cut down Anqiu and dense trees, and repaired dilapidated houses in order to make ends meet. ?
Literary appreciation:
This passage, getting to the point, describes the scene of moving to Jiaoxi, settling down, managing the garden and repairing the platform, and having fun while traveling. Explain with concrete facts that you will have fun if you are beyond things.
This paragraph can be divided into three layers:
1. Move to Jiaoxi, and form a set of parallelism sentences with three antithetical sentences. The tone is ups and downs and full of momentum, which makes Hangzhou and Rice in sharp contrast, showing Su Shi's experience of sacrificing his life for righteousness, striving for strength and going to the United States for simplicity. This is not only a record, but also a foreshadowing of taking advantage of others.
Second, life is safe from the beginning. "I don't want to get old, thieves are everywhere, prison lawsuits are full, face chefs are boring, and chrysanthemums are eclipsed." When I first arrived in Jiaoxi, I didn't succeed, the political situation was turbulent and life was difficult. Five four-character sentences and a conjunction are used, and the sentence is sharp and the speech speed is fast, which is in line with the difficult situation. Write your troubles again to see the value of happiness and endless joy.
"If you are in the middle of the year, but your appearance is plump and your hair is gray, you will be anti-black." Unexpected changes bring infinite joy. "I am happy with the alcohol in its custom, and its officials and people are also comfortable with it." I fell in love with Jiaoxi, and the people also loved Taishou. Officials and people love each other, and it is inevitable that officials and people will have fun together. It's really hard to be happy from bitterness to joy. At the beginning of life, you have spare capacity to clean up the garden and do something interesting.
Third, repair Taiwan for amusement. First, explain the location of the desk, old ideas, and repair. Making use of the old to make the new, without wasting people's money, means having fun with the people. Then write it on the stage and look around, feeling shocked, seeing scenes and imaginary things, and expressing complicated feelings.
Sometimes I miss the hermit who is detached from the official, sometimes I admire the achievements of the heroes, and sometimes I complain for the good generals who will not die well. This just shows the ambivalence that the author wants to be detached from the object, but in fact it is difficult to be completely detached: nostalgia, envy and grievance.
