Written by Qian Tao, 陶潛著，
Translated by 莊家睿 and Dolce Doll。
The man's identity remains unknown
先生不知何許人也，
So does his name
亦不詳其姓字，
Near his cottage grow five willows
宅邊有五栁樹，
So do we call him
因以為號焉。
Quiet and silent
閑靜少言，
Care little about money and fame
不慕榮利。
Prefer reading but seldom study thoroughly
好讀書，不求甚解；
Whenever grasping something profound
毎有會意，
Meals are merrily forgotten
便欣然忘食。
Fond of beer
性嗜酒，
But too poor to buy often
家貧不能常得。
Friends and relatives knowing him well
親舊知其如此，
Would frequently buy beer for him
或置酒而招之，
Bottom up all the cups
造飲輒盡，
In order to get drunk
期在必醉；
Leaves when getting drunk
既醉而退，
And never shows hesitation
曾不吝情去留。
Humble shelter with broken walls
環堵蕭然，
With sun and winds rushing through
不蔽風日；
Distressed clothing
短褐穿結，
And empty bowls
簞瓢屢空，
Never seem to hinder his happiness
晏如也。
Composing articles for self pleasure
常著文章自娛，
To show self aspiration
頗示已志。
Let go of losing and winning
忘懐得失，
Till the end of his life
以此自終。

贊曰：
The wife of Qianlou once said:
「黔婁之妻有言：
Feel no sadness when being poor
『不戚戚於貧賤，
Chase no wealth when being noble
不汲汲於富貴。』
That must refer to the man of this kind.
極其言，茲若人之儔乎？
Taking cups and writing poems
酣觴賦詩，
Showing joys and his ideas
以樂其志，
Isn't he the type of Wuhuai?
無懐氏之民歟？
Isn't he the sort of Getian?
葛天氏之民歟？」
