At this time, I envy idle people drunk, and there is no reason for five horses to enter the restaurant. What does that mean?

"At this time, the idle people are drunk, and the five horses have no reason to enter the restaurant." This means that at this time, I only envy the leisure of the drinker and unconsciously walk into the restaurant.

Early Winter by Bai Juyi in Tang Dynasty

original work

In October, the south of the Yangtze River is sunny and cold as spring flowers.

Frost doesn't kill grass, but desert sand dries at first.

Old zhe leaves are as yellow as tender trees, and cold cherry branches are as white as wild flowers.

At this time, I envy idle people drunk, and there is no reason for five horses to enter the restaurant.

It's sunny in the south of the Yangtze River in October, and the scenery in winter is still full of spring.

There is a thin layer of frost on the grass, which looks like dry sand in the sun.

The leaves of the old Zheshu tree are yellow, just like a delicate young tree. Cold cherry blossoms are out of date and have white flowers.

At this time, I only envy the drinker's leisure and walk into the restaurant unconsciously.

Extended data

Bai Juyi was a great poet with great influence in the middle Tang Dynasty. His poetic thoughts and creations, which emphasize popularity and realism, occupy an important position in the history of China's poetry. Pipa Xing and Song of Eternal Sorrow are Bai Juyi's most successful works, and the outstanding feature of their artistic expression is the strengthening of lyric factors.

Compared with previous narrative poems, although these two works also use narrative and description to express events, they cannot simplify the events, and only use a central event and two or three main characters to structure the whole article, such as the dramatic Ma Wei incident.

The author is going to write a few strokes soon, but in the most lyrical description of the characters' psychology and the rendering of the environmental atmosphere, he splashed ink like rain to enjoy himself. Even Pipa Xing, a work with more ink on the description of music and characters' experiences, closely links sounds, events and emotions, and sounds follow emotions, so that the process of poetry is always accompanied by touching emotional power.
