Return to Nature (Ⅲ) (归园田居 其三)
I sow my beans 9neath southern hill;
Bean shoots are lost where weeds o'ergrow.
I weed at dawn though early still;
I plod home with my moonlit hoe.
The path is narrow, grasses tall,
With evening dew my clothes wet,
To which I pay no heed at all,
If my desire can but be met.
Tao Yuanming, who lived during the Eastern Jin Dynasty (317—420), is seen as the creator of "pastoral poetry (田园诗)".This is an important genre (类型) in Chinese poetry that focuses on the beauty of the countryside.
Tao spent most of his life in the countryside. He would read, drink wine, receive guests, and write poems about the pleasures and difficulties of life in the countryside, as well as his decision to leave office.
This poem was written after he left his job. Being an upright (正直的) man, he hated the corruption (腐败) and political struggles he saw in the royal court (宫廷). He wanted to live a simple life.
The first six lines describe his new job as a farmer. It's not hard to see that he isn't good at farming, as weeds grow over his bean shoots. Even so, it's quite clear that he prefers his new job.
The language in Tao's poems might seem simple, but according to Su Shi, a famous Song Dynasty (960-1279) poet, it takes a lot of talent to appear effortless (不需费力的) like Tao. Tao's simple and direct writing was different from the writing style of his time, but he was brave enough to break the rules.
