The melon vines invade the hedge, and the bean blossoms are full of autumn steps.
Stay in the mountain kitchen for dinner, get up and cut new vegetables.
——Zhang Ying, "Ten Idyllic Poems of the Proposed King Youcheng, · and Seven"
Autumn is getting stronger, the cold air is blowing, and the fence is full of melon vines, gently swaying in the wind.
In the open space in front of the steps, the bean blossoms are blooming warmly, and the faint aroma fills the entire courtyard with the wind.
Autumn in the mountains, quiet and beautiful, make people linger.
The host personally went to the vegetable garden to pick fresh vegetables and warmly invited the guests to stay for a shared dinner.
Zhang Ying was a famous literary scholar in the Qing Dynasty, who entered the official career with the fourth place in Jinshi, and his official fortune was prosperous, and he once worshipped the prime minister.
In his later years, he retired to the countryside and wrote a lot of poems, with a fresh style and elegant artistic conception, which can be glimpsed from this poem.
The "Wang Youcheng" in the title of the poem is Wang Wei, the representative of the landscape idyll of the Tang Dynasty.
Wang Wei once wrote a group of "Pastoral Music", which is poetic and picturesque, full of leisure and wild fun, and has always been praised by later generations.
Although Zhang Ying's poem is not as good as Wang Wei's work, it also has some charm.
Melon vines, bean curd, and new vegetables vividly show the tranquility of the autumn countryside, the harvest, and the hospitality of the host.
The leisurely and comfortable between the lines makes people yearn for it.

Last night there was a sound in the vestibular leaves, and the hedge bean blossoms bloomed and crickets chirped.
I don't feel that the business is full of thin forests, and Xiao Ran is empty.
——Weng Sen, "Four Hours of Reading and Joy, · III"
In the courtyard, the leaves rustle in the breeze, as if to tell the change of seasons;
Next to the fence, the bean blossom blooms quietly, exuding bursts of fragrance;
The sound of crickets came and went, breaking the silence of the night.
Before you know it, the smell of autumn has filled the entire forest.
At this moment, everything is silent, only the sounds of nature echo in the ears.
Together, they create a sense of desolation.
This kind of bleakness is not lonely or lonely, but a distant and clear realm.
It is as if all the hustle and bustle is contained in this void and clear realm, leaving only peace and tranquility.
Weng Sen was a poet of the Southern Song Dynasty, and after the fall of the Song Dynasty, he lived in seclusion in the countryside, teaching and educating people, and there were more than 800 scholars.

Just imagine, in such a quiet atmosphere, immersed in the sea of books, as if all the worries and sorrows have been washed away, it is really wonderful.

The eaves are hanging at night, and the fence is clear and the butterflies are back.
A stream of autumn water arrived, and the house was full of bean blossoms.
——Wang Shucheng "New Cool"
At dusk, in the sunset, under the eaves, a few dragonflies are hanging quietly.
Next to the fence, the light and shadow are dappled, and a group of butterflies flutter back, shuttling between the flowers, sometimes staying, sometimes flying.
The light dancing and colorful colors add a bit of brightness and vitality to this quiet dusk.
The stream is murmuring, with the coolness of autumn, slowly flowing through the edge of the village;
The house was full of bean blossoms, clusters, clusters, white and purple, not warm, unassuming, but decorating the whole village.
Wang Shucheng was a poet of the Ming Dynasty, and his poems were highly respected by Wang Shizhen, a literary tycoon.
He has roamed Wuyue for a long time and wrote a lot of poems, this "New Cool" is one of the representatives.

Wild bean flowers around the fence are in full bloom, and the branches and leaves of the back sun rock are half sparse.
The autumn water of the fishing space is in, and the smoke is high and the birds return.
——Fengyue people, "To Shibizhuang"
With the arrival of autumn, the branches and foliage of the trees gradually fade away from the exuberance of summer and become sparse and depressed;
The bean blossoms next to the fence are competing to bloom, and they are particularly beautiful in this increasingly bleak autumn scene.
As twilight fell, the fisherman finished his day's work and rowed home, and the autumn water flowed quietly on the empty river.
In the distance, high on the mountains, a wisp of smoke rises;
In the afterglow of the setting sun, the birds are returning to their nests.
The author of this poem, Fengyueren, was a poet of the Ming Dynasty, and the year of birth and death is unknown, but it is known that he was probably active in the Wanli period.
There are not many works he left behind, only 18 poems, mostly writing about the scenery of the journey, the landscape and the countryside.
This poem "To Shibizhuang", through the description of the splendid bean flowers, the sparse branches and leaves, the tranquility of the quiet autumn water, and the homecoming sunset birds, together constitute a picturesque pastoral scene.
The poet's leisure and elegance are all in it.

Three paths of flowing water chrysanthemum, one room in the sparse window mountain.
The book contains banana leaf green, tea and bean flowers.
——Shen Zhaoyun "Visiting Friends' Village"
In the mountains in autumn, a small stream, zigzags, flows into the distance;
The path is full of wild chrysanthemums, which are colorful and fragrant.
At the end of the path is the friend's residence.
Through the open window, you can see the scene inside the house.
An open book, sandwiched by a few green banana leaves, fresh and natural, open to the eye.
Next to it, a cup of tea is emitting a faint heat.
The fragrance of tea is curling, mixed with the fragrance of bean curd, which is intoxicating.
Shen Zhaoyun was a poet of the Qing Dynasty, and there are not many records about him in the history books, only that he was a high school scholar in the Jiaqing period, and the official went to Zhejiang as a political envoy.
