What is the writing background and intention of "Lu You Shan Xi Cun You"?

This poem was written in the early spring of the third year of Song Xiaozong Trunk Road (1 167), when Lu You was retiring at home (writing background). When Lu You returned to his hometown, his mood was quite complicated, with anguish and resentment intertwined, but he was not disheartened. The patriotic feelings of "generous but strong inside" (Yu Wen) made him feel hope and light in rural life, and poured this feeling into his own poetry creation (writing intention).

Traveling to Shanxi Village is the work of Lu You, a poet in Song Dynasty. 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 his poems, but he does not describe the process of visiting the village in detail, but cuts out the experience of visiting the village to reflect endless fun.

The original text is as follows:

Don't laugh at the farmhouse music brewed in the muddled month. In the harvest month, the dishes for guests are very rich.

There is no way to go because of the winding water flow in the mountains, and a mountain village suddenly appears in the willow-green flower bay.

The day of playing flute and drums is approaching, and the villagers are still dressed simply.

In the future, if you can go out in the moonlight, I will knock on your door at any time with my cane.

The translation is as follows:

Don't laugh at the muddy wine brewed in the twelfth lunar month. In Fengshou Island, hospitality dishes are very rich.

The mountains overlap and the water twists and turns. I'm afraid there is no way out. Suddenly, a mountain village appeared in front of me.

The day of playing flute and drum in the Spring Festival Club is coming. The villagers are dressed simply and still retain the ancient customs.

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

Extended data:

The first couplet shows the quiet and joyful atmosphere in the countryside in the harvest year. Waxed wine: refers to rice wine brewed in the twelfth lunar month last year. Dolphin: It's a pig. Full-legged chicken and dolphin: it means full-legged chicken and dolphin. It is said that although the taste of farm wine is thin, the way of hospitality is deep. A word "foot" expresses all the hospitality of farmers. The word "don't laugh" expresses the poet's appreciation of the simple folk customs in rural areas.

The second couplet is about the scenery along the mountains and rivers, which contains philosophy and has been widely quoted for thousands of years. "There is no doubt about mountains and rivers, and there is another village." Such a smooth, beautiful, cheerful and lively poem seems to see the poet strolling among the verdant forests, and the clear mountain springs gurgling through the winding streams. The more lush the vegetation, the more difficult it is to distinguish the winding mountain roads.

When I was at a loss, I suddenly saw the flowers flickering in front of me, and several peasant cottages were looming among the flower trees, and the poet suddenly felt suddenly enlightened. The degree of excitement can be imagined.

This couplet shows the beautiful scenery in spring; The second part describes the rural customs from nature to personnel in the early Southern Song Dynasty. It is not difficult for readers to understand the poet's deep affection for traditional culture.
