Background创作背景

In 1078 Su Shi was the governor of Xuzhou. That spring there was a bad drought, so he went to Shitan Pool, about ten kilometers east of the city, to pray for rain. Later the rain came, and he went back to the pool to give thanks. On the road he wrote five ci to this tune, and this is the fourth. His note says he wrote five pieces on the way to give thanks for rain at Shitan. All of them describe the country scenes he saw along the road.

1078年（元丰元年），苏轼在徐州做知州。那年春天大旱，他到城东二十里的石潭求雨。后来下了雨，他又去石潭谢雨，在路上写了五首《浣溪沙》，这是第四首。原题序说：“徐门石潭谢雨，道上作五首。”这几首词写的都是一路上看到的农村景象。

The poet作者

Su Shi (1037–1101), also called Dongpo, was a great Northern Song writer, excellent at poems, ci, prose, calligraphy and painting. As a local official he cared about ordinary people and often walked out into the fields and villages. He also brought country life into ci, so that ci were no longer only about flowers and moonlight, but also about everyday people.

苏轼（1037—1101），号东坡居士，北宋大文学家，诗、词、文章、书法、绘画都很出色。他做地方官时很关心百姓，常常走到田间村头。他还把农村生活写进词里，让词不只写花前月下，也能写普通人的日子。

The mood意境

The first half is like a short film of a village. First, jujube blossoms fall on him with a soft pattering. Then silk-reeling wheels whir all over the village, as farm families busily make silk. Then someone sells cucumbers under an old willow. There are sounds, colors and people, full of early-summer life. The second half is about the poet himself. He has had too much wine and is sleepy, the road is long, the sun is hot, and he is thirsty for tea. So he knocks on a farmer's door. A high official asks for tea like any passer-by. It is written in a light, funny way, and it shows how close he felt to ordinary people.

上片像一段乡村小电影：先是枣花落在身上，簌簌有声；再是村子里到处响着缫丝车，这是农家在忙着做丝；然后是老柳树下有人卖黄瓜。有声音，有颜色，有人，充满初夏的生活气息。下片写自己：酒喝多了犯困，路又长，太阳又晒，口渴想喝茶，于是去敲农家的门。一个大官像普通过路人一样讨碗茶喝，写得轻松有趣，也看得出他和百姓很亲近。
