Peach Blossom Song (Tang Yin)
There is a peach blossom nunnery in Taohuawu, and a peach blossom fairy under the peach blossom nunnery. The Peach Blossom Fairy planted peach trees and picked peach blossoms in exchange for wine money.
When I'm sober, I just sit in front of the flowers; when I'm drunk, I come to sleep under the flowers. Half awake and half drunk day after day, flowers fall and bloom year after year.
I wish I could die in my old age and spend my time drinking wine, rather than bow in front of my carriage. Cars, dust and horses are enough for the rich, and wine-cups and branches are for the poor.
If the rich and the noble are compared to the poor and the humble, one is on the ground and the other is in the sky. If the poor and the lowly were compared to a chariot and a horse, he would have to drive and I would have nothing to do.
Others laugh at me for being crazy, but I laugh at others because they can't see through it. There are no tombs of heroes from the Five Tombs, and there are no flowers or wine to cultivate the fields.
