Liu Zongyuan

"Riverside Dwelling" is a poem written by Tang Dynasty writer Liu Zongyuan after he was demoted to Yongzhou. This poem describes how he lived a leisurely life by building a house by the stream after being demoted to Yongzhou, which is known as the "Southern Wilderness". On the surface, it is a self-entertainment and self-enjoyment, but in fact it indirectly expresses the resentment of being exiled, and the words imply the author's depression that his ambitions could not be fulfilled. 《溪居》是唐代文学家柳宗元被贬永州后的诗作。这首诗描写他被贬官到有“南荒”之称的永州后，在溪边筑室而居，过着闲适的生活。表面上自我排遣，也自得其乐，实际上曲折地表达被贬谪的幽愤，字里行间隐含了作者壮志难酬的苦闷之情。 《溪居》 柳宗元 久为簪组累，幸此南夷谪。闲依农圃邻，偶似山林客。晓耕翻露草，夜榜响溪石。来往不逢人，长歌楚天碧。 Abiding by the Runlet Liu Zongyuan For long being entangled by ties of office,I sense fine hap as an exile to the wild South.In my leisurely sojourn with farming neighbours,I feel I am somewhat like a mountain sylvan.In daybreak tillage upturning dewy weeds,In nightly row resounding oar strokes from bank rocks,I come and go without meeting anyone.And sing aloud 'neath the azure sky of Chu.

"Reading Zen Sutras at Chaoshiyuan in the Morning" is a work by Tang Dynasty writer Liu Zongyuan. This is a lyric poem expressing feelings. This poem describes the scene and feelings of reading Zen sutras in the morning, tortuously expressing the depression buried in the heart, and expressing the poet's philosophical insights. The first half describes the poet's reading of sutras at the Zen temple, accusing the world of chasing those absurd things instead of understanding the true meaning of Buddhist scriptures. The second half describes that he believes that the essence of Buddhism and Confucianism have something in common, but it is difficult to master how to cultivate one's nature. However, he lingers and enjoys the quiet and elegant Zen temple. The whole poem describes the state of mind of practicing Zen, as well as the relaxed, happy and leisurely mentality of those who are deeply interested in Zen. 《晨诣超师院读禅经》是唐代文学家柳宗元的作品。这是一首抒写感想的抒情诗。此诗写出晨读禅经的情景和感受，曲折地表达了埋藏在心底的抑郁之情，抒发了诗人的哲学见解。前半部写诗人到禅院读经，指责世人追逐的乃是那些荒诞的事情，而不去了解佛经的真正含义。后半部写他认为佛家的精义与儒家之道有相通之处，但如何修养本性，却难以精熟。然而，他对禅院的清静幽雅却流连玩赏。全诗描写了习禅的心境，以及深得禅趣那种轻松、愉悦、闲适的心态。 《晨诣超师院读禅经》 柳宗元 汲井漱寒齿，清心拂尘服。闲持贝叶书，步出东斋读。真源了无取，妄迹世所逐。遗言冀可冥，缮性何由熟。道人庭宇静，苔色连深竹。日出雾露余，青松如膏沐。淡然离言说，悟悦心自足。 An Early Morning Visit to the Buddhist Priest Chao to Read the Chan Scriptures Liu Zongyuan Drawing water from the well, I rinse my cold teeth,Brushing my dusty gown, I purify my mind.Quietly I open the Tree-Leaf Book of Sutra,And reading, I leave the East Study…
