Creative background:
This poem was written in the early spring of the third year (1 167) of Song Xiaozong main road, and Lu You was at home at leisure. Prior to this, Lu You actively supported the Northern Expedition of Zhang Jun, the general who resisted Jin in the second year of Longxing (1 164). After the defeat, he was pushed out by the imperial landlord capitulationists and was dismissed from office and surrendered to Li.
When Lu You returned to his hometown, his mood was quite complicated, with anguish and resentment intertwined, but he was not disheartened. His patriotism made him feel hope and light in rural life and poured this feeling into his own poetry creation. This poem was written in my hometown of Yin Shan (now Shaoxing, Zhejiang).
Ideological theme:
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.
Through the description of the natural scenery and simple villagers' customs in the mountain village, the poet expressed that although he was impeached and dismissed from office, he did not lose confidence and firmly believed that he would be extremely happy one day, and he loved and loathed rural life.
