The eight characters of Lu Wen in Tang Dynasty

I don't know who is worried about the country in April, that is to say, it is April now, and many dignitaries want to transplant peony flowers blooming from outside into the newly expanded garden. I really don't know which of them cares about the national economy and people's livelihood. From the Tang Dynasty poet Lu Wen's fourteen years of drought in Zhenyuan, it is very common to move peony flowers to the right door.

Original text:

After the drought, green Ye Yuan and green fields gradually turned into dust; The gardens of rich and powerful people are watered by well water, and the scenery is changing day by day.

It's April, and many senior officials have brought flowers from the flowers to the newly expanded garden. I don't know who is the national livelihood plan.

Translation:

After a long drought and no rain, the green leaves and blue ridges gradually dried up into dust; The garden of the rich family is still expanding day by day because of well water irrigation, and the scenery is getting new.

It's April, and many dignitaries obviously want to transplant the blooming peony flowers bought from outside into the newly expanded garden. I wonder which of them cares about the national economy and people's livelihood?

This poem was written in 798 AD (the 14th year of Zhenyuan in Tang Dezong). At that time, the poet was a scholar, but when he saw the drought in Beijing, a powerful family brought flowers to transplant peony and wrote this poem out of emotion. Lu Wen is a historical figure with political talent. His articles and songs faithfully record his footprints in his political struggle career. In the fourteenth year of Zhenyuan's drought, I saw the transfer of power to peony flowers, which was written in the year when he first entered his official career. The poem condemns the ugly behavior of the aristocratic privileged class that only cares about their own enjoyment, regardless of people's life and death, and does not worry about the future of the country, which shows the poet's thoughts and feelings of worrying about the country and the people. Poetic theory is similar to Du Fu's "Zhumen is fragrant with wine, and the bones on the road freeze to death".

Lv Wen (77 1 ~ 8 1 1) was born in Tanghezhong (present-day yongji city). In 798, in the fourteenth year of Zhenyuan, Dezong was a scholar, and the following year, he was awarded the title of scholar in Jixian Hall. In the 19th year of Zhenyuan (803), it was recommended by Wang and reserved as a supplement. In the summer of the twentieth year of Zhenyuan, he entered Tibet with history as his assistant and stayed there for many years. Shunzong acceded to the throne and used things with the king. Because he was in Fan Zhong, he couldn't take part in "Yongzheng Innovation". Yong Zhenyuan (805) Qiu was returned and transferred to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Li Sifeng Yuan Wailang and punishments doctor. In the autumn of the third year of Yuanhe (808), Daozhou was demoted as a secretariat because of the gap with Prime Minister Li Jifu, and then moved to Hengzhou, which was very political and was called "Lv Hengzhou" in history.
