1. Three poems by Du Fu
1. The poem "Looking at the Mountains" is Du Fu's early work. The poem passionately praises the majestic and magical scenery of Mount Tai, and also reveals the poet's lofty ambitions in his early years. It has always been praised as a famous poem praising Mount Tai.
The whole poem can be divided into two major layers, both of which are written with the word "wang" in mind.
The first two couplets are the first layer, focusing on the overall image of Mount Tai. "How is Dai Zongfu? Qilu is still young." Write what you see from a distance. Mount Tai is located between Qi and Lu in ancient times, with Qi to the north and Lu to the south. The "green" between Qi and Lu is the result of Mount Tai's shadow. "Unfinished" means endless. Here, what the poet wants to say is, do you want to know what Mount Tai looks like? Look, its green mountains set off the vast Qilu Plain. This is to use the two places of Qi and Shandong to highlight the image of Mount Tai rising from the ground and towering into the sky. "The clock of creation is beautiful, and the yin and yang cut off the dawn." This is what you can see from a closer look. The last sentence describes the beauty of Mount Tai, using a virtual pen. Why use a virtual pen? Because the beauty of Mount Tai is really difficult to describe in one sentence, it is better to just write that the Creator has a special liking for Mount Tai. This is the poet's strong feeling and the reflection of the beauty of Mount Tai in the poet's soul. The next sentence describes the height of Mount Tai, which is a literal description. "Yin and yang" refers to the south and north sides of the mountain. The south side of the mountain gets sunlight first, so it is easier to know; the north side of the mountain does not get sunlight, so it is still dark at dawn. The word "cut" is very well refined. Viewed from the north of the mountain, the sunlight shining on the soil seems to have been cut off by a huge knife, highlighting the image of Mount Tai blocking the sky and the sun.
The last two couplets are the second largest layer. They also describe the scenery of Mount Tai, but they focus on expressing the poet's feelings. "Zeng Yun is born in the chest, and the returning bird comes in from the canthus", what is written is the actual scene, what you can see if you look closely. Mount Tai is so high that during the day you can see the endless clouds on the mountainside; it is also so deep that at dusk you can see the returning birds gradually disappearing into the valley. The poet grasped the details of these two scenes to express his excitement and broad vision, and then logically wrote his deepest wish: "I will be at the top of the mountain and see all the small mountains at a glance." This is a famous quote from Confucius: "Climb Mount Tai and make the world small." But when used here, it has a profound meaning: it is not only the poet's vow to climb to the top of Mount Tai, but also the poet's vow to climb to the top of life.
2. The poem "Spring Hope" is a five-character poem written by the poet during the Anshi Rebellion. It expresses the poet's feelings of concern for his country and his family, which is deeply touching. .
"The country is broken, the mountains and rivers are there, and the city is springy with deep vegetation." This is what I saw in the writing: the capital of the country has become dilapidated after the fall, but the mountains and rivers are still the same; spring has arrived in Chang'an City , but there are overgrown grass in front of us. How can such a strong contrast not be shocking! Although this couplet describes a scene, it also painfully conveys the poet's feelings when he was worried about his country.
"I feel the flowers splashing with tears, and I hate the other birds and startle them." There have always been two interpretations of this couplet: one is that the poet is the subject of "feeling" and "hatred". Flowers and birds are the most representative things in spring scenery, which can make people happy. However, the poet is facing the dilapidated capital city at this moment. He doesn't know when the government and army will be able to put down the rebellion, and he doesn't know how his wife and children will survive in the chaos of war. Thoughts troubled him. How could he not shed tears when he saw flowers or be frightened when he heard birds? The other uses flowers and birds as the subjects of "feeling" and "hate". This is naturally the result of the poet's empathy with things. There is essentially no difference between these two interpretations. They both express feelings of touching the times and hurting the world. This couplet starts with the word "feeling for the time" and starts with the word "hate to say goodbye". The composition is clear.
"The war has been going on for three months, and a letter from home is worth ten thousand gold." It means that since the beginning of spring, the war has become more intense, so it is difficult to communicate with family members. According to historical records, in the early days of An Lushan's rebellion, rebels from Gyeonggi, Fang to Yuqi and Long were invaded and the people were massacred. The poet's family was in Yuzhou (today's Fuxian County, Shaanxi Province). He was haunted by the safety of his family. How could he rest assured when letters from home could not arrive? He used "worth ten thousand gold" to describe the preciousness of family letters, expressing his strong longing for his wife and children.
"The hairpin of the white head is shorter, and the lust is overwhelming." The poet was just 45 years old this year, but the "white head" was realistic - half a year later, he mentioned it again in "The Northern Expedition": "What's more, I fell into the dust and lost all my hair." The "white heads" are so sparse that they are "incomparable with hairpins", and one can imagine his old appearance. He grew old so quickly because he was worried about his country, hurting his time, and missing his family.
3. "Shi Hao Officials" In the late winter of the first year of the Qianyuan year of Emperor Suzong of the Tang Dynasty (758), Du Fu returned to Luoyang to see his hometown after the war. However, within two months, the situation reversed. The Tang army was defeated in Yecheng, Guo Ziyi retreated to Heyang, and Luoyang was rioted again. The poet was forced to leave at this time and returned to Huazhou via Xin'an, Shihao, Tongguan and other places. Along the way, all he saw were the sad faces of the husbands and wives who were complaining about the expedition, and what he heard were the cries of other families when they went to war. The famous "Three Officials" ("Shihao Officials", "Xin'an Officials", "Tongguan Officials") and "Three Farewells" ("Newlywed Farewell", "Wuji Farewell", "Old Farewell") are based on this poem. Written through experience, it profoundly describes the hardships of the common people, sympathy for the common people and the cruelty of war to the common people. Among them, "The Stone Hao Official" is the most widely circulated due to its ingenious conception and vivid plot.
This is a narrative poem, the main part of which is the old woman's "address".
The first four lines of the poem are the origin of "address" and also explain the time and place where the story happened; the last four lines are the end of the incident, implying that the old woman has been taken away by the police.
The old woman's "speech" can be divided into three levels: the first level (the first six sentences) is about the old woman telling that all three sons were drafted to fight in Yecheng, and two of them died in the battle, which shows that this family People have made great sacrifices for their country. The second level (four sentences in the middle) is about the old woman telling her about the current situation at home. "There is no one in the room", so hiding the "old man crossing the wall" is a last resort. "Sun under the breast" still means that the grandson is breastfeeding, so his mother "has not left", which means that the daughter-in-law lost her husband and should have remarried, but she stayed at home because she was reluctant to leave the child. "Endless skirt" not only means that the clothes do not cover the body, but also includes the meaning of not having enough to eat. The third level (the last four sentences) writes that the old woman asked herself to serve. Heyang was the place where the army retreated at that time. Knowing that people were needed there, she volunteered to cook for the soldiers to save the three remaining members of her family.
This poem reflects the ideological contradictions of the poet at that time: he praises the spirit of the old woman in Shihao who has the courage to bear hardships, showing that he supports the Tang Dynasty's war against rebellion and hopes to achieve the final victory. victory; but he also wrote about the tragic experience of the old woman and her family, which showed that he was deeply saddened by the huge disaster that the war had brought to the people. This contradiction is also reflected in the other five poems of "Three Officials" and "Three Farewells".
This is an ancient poem, the content is narrative, but also lyrical. During the development of events, the poet is felt everywhere. The ending with "Farewell to the old man alone" implicitly expresses the poet's feelings and expresses his sympathy for this disaster-stricken family.
