游山西村
A Visit to a Village in Western Mountains
宋陆游
By Lu You, a poet in the Southern Song Dynasty
莫笑农家腊酒浑，
Don't mock at a farmers wine preserved for winter being not so pure,
丰年留客足鸡豚。
They will treat guests to plenty of chicken and pork in a harvest year.
山重水复疑无路，
So many mountains, and so many rivers, where is my path? I am not too clear.
柳暗花明又一村。
Passing by thick willows and smiling flowers, suddenly another village is here.
箫鼓追随春社近，
Flutes and drums are practised everywhere,a new spring festival is drawing near.
衣冠简朴古风存。
They pass on good ancient customs, dressed in clothes simple and not dear.
从今若许闲乘月，
From now on, if I could have time free to enjoy the relaxing moonshine sight,
拄杖无时夜叩门。
Stick in hand,I would certainly knock at the their doors now and again at night.
