Wang Wei: Tillers by the Weichuan River ~  王维 《渭川田家》with English Translations
Wang Wei

小编导读:《渭川田家》是唐代诗人王维晚年的作品。此诗描写的是初夏傍晚农村夕阳西下、牛羊回归、老人倚杖、麦苗吐秀、桑叶稀疏、田夫荷锄一系列宁静和谐的景色,表现了农村平静闲适、悠闲可爱的生活。这种充满诗情画意的田家生活图景也是作者当时心境的反映,反映了他对官场生活的厌恶。全诗语言朴素,纯用白描,自然清新,诗意盎然,体现出王维诗歌“诗中有画”的艺术特色。

Editor’s Note: “Farmers in Weichuan” is a work by Tang Dynasty poet Wang Wei in his later years. This poem describes a series of peaceful and harmonious scenes in the early summer evening in the countryside, including the setting sun, the return of cattle and sheep, the old man leaning on his cane, the sprouting of wheat, the sparse mulberry leaves, and the farmer carrying a hoe, showing the peaceful, leisurely, and lovely life in the countryside. This poetic and picturesque picture of farm life is also a reflection of the author’s state of mind at the time, reflecting his disgust for official life. The language of the whole poem is simple, pure plain description, natural and fresh, full of poetry, reflecting the artistic characteristics of Wang Wei’s poetry “there is a painting in the poem”.

王维 《渭川田家》

斜光照墟落,
穷巷牛羊归。
野老念牧童,
倚杖侯荆扉。
雉雊麦苗秀,
蚕眠桑叶稀。
田夫荷锄至,
相见语依依,
即此羡闲逸,
怅然吟式微。

Tillers by the Weichuan River

A slanting sun on the village shines;
Returning cattle to the lane trail near.
A grandpa, on staff, by his gate of vines
And brambles, waits for his herds-lad dear.
The pheasants call. The wheat-ear grows.
The silkworms sleep, and mulberries are bare.
The ploughmen homeward, carrying hoes,
Enjoy to meet and chat fore’er.
What carefree country folk are they!
They make me sigh, “O show the way!”
