Poems by Du Fu, a poet in the Tang Dynasty

1. The quatrains

Two orioles are singing green willows, and a row of egrets are flying into the sky.

The window contains autumn snow in Xiling, and the Dongwu Wan Li boat is moored at the gate.

2.

It's far from Hanshan Mountain, and there are people in Bai Yunsheng.

It's late to stop and sit in the love maple forest, and the frost leaves are red in February.

3. Looking for flowers by the river

Huang Siniang's family is full of flowers, and thousands of flowers are low.

The butterflies dance all the time, and the charming warblers just crow.

4. Ascending the Mountain

in a sharp gale from the wide sky apes are whimpering, birds are flying homeward over the clear lake and white sand.

leaves are dropping down like the spray of a waterfall, the Yangtze River is full of hustle and bustle.

I have come three thousand miles away. Sad now with autumn, and with my hundred years of woe, I climb this height alone.

ill fortune has laid a bitter frost on my temples, heart-ache and weariness are a thick dust in my wine.

5. Looking at Yue

what a majestic sight of holy Mountain Tai!, vast greens stretch across Qi and Lu, the two lands high..

the Maker endowed all the mystic Nature grace here, and? a day at once into dawn and dusk comes by..

Ceng Yun, and the birds fly back and forth before my strained eye..

once climbing to the top of the peek, one would see, the other mountains all appear dwarfs under the sky..

6, "Delighting in Rain on a Spring Night"

Good rain knows the season, and spring happens.

sneak into the night with the wind and moisten things silently.

the wild trails are all dark, and the river boats are all bright.

if you look at the red and wet place, flowers will weigh heavily on Jinguan City.

7. Yewang

In the north of Jin Huashan, there is water in the west, and the mid-winter wind begins to be sad.

the mountains are connected to the three provinces, and the water is scattered to the next five streams.

The solitary crane doesn't know what to dance about, and it seems hungry to crow at people.

Shehong Spring Wine is still cold and green, and the eyes are extremely hurting. Who will carry it?

8.

Everything is wrapped in a belt, and the real pearl is wrapped around the arm.

Laugh with flowers close to your eyes and dance with brocade around your head.

9.

War cries many new ghosts, and sorrow sings the old man alone.

it's cloudy and dusk, and the snow dances and returns to the air.

the ladle is green, and the fire in the furnace is red.

the news of several States is broken, and I am worried about sitting in the book.

1. on meeting li guinian down the river

It is common in Qiwang's residence, but it was heard several times before Cui Jiutang.

It's the beautiful scenery in the south of the Yangtze River, and it's the time when flowers fall.

Extended reading: Du Fu's poetic achievements

In his middle age, Du Fu's poems were called "the history of poetry" because of his gloomy poetic style and his concern for the country and the people. His poems are good at ancient style and rhythmic poetry, and have diverse styles. He accurately summarizes his own work style with the word "depressed and frustrated", and mainly focuses on depression. Du Fu lived in the historical period when the Tang Dynasty turned from prosperity to decline. His poems mostly involved social unrest, political darkness and people's sufferings. His poems reflected the social contradictions and people's sufferings at that time. His poems recorded the historical changes of the Tang Dynasty from prosperity to decline, and expressed the lofty Confucian spirit of benevolence and strong sense of hardship, so they were called "the history of poetry". Du Fu was concerned about the country and people, with noble personality and exquisite poetic skills. Du Fu wrote more than 1,5 poems in his life, many of which are famous works that have been praised through the ages, such as "Three Officials" and "Three Farewells". Among them, the "Three Officials" are Shihao Officials, Xin 'an Officials and Tongguan Officials, and the "Three Farewells" are Newly Married, Homeless and Farewell to the Old. The poems handed down by Du Fu are the most extensive in the Tang Dynasty and one of the most outstanding poets in the Tang Dynasty, which have a far-reaching influence on later generations. Du Fu's works are known as the scars in the world and the sages in poetry. The people are suffering, and the bottom of the pen is turbulent. It is a masterpiece of realistic poetry.

Rhyme plays an extremely important role in Du Fu's poems. The achievement of Du Fu's metrical poems lies in expanding the scope of expression of metrical poems. He not only writes about entertainment, nostalgia, travel, banquets and landscapes with regular poems, but also writes about current events with regular poems. It is more difficult to write current affairs with metrical poems, but Du Fu can use them freely. Du Fu wrote the metrical poems freely and freely, doing everything he could to change, conforming to the law without seeing the shackles of the vocal law, and neatly opposing without seeing the traces of the antithesis. For example, Ascending the High, which Yang Lun called "Du Ji's Seven-character Law First", is such a poem: "in a sharp gale from the wide sky apes are whimpering, birds are flying homeward over the clear lake and white sand. The endless trees rustle the fallen leaves, the Yangtze river is not expected to roll in the Pentium. Sad to Li autumn scenery, the perennial wanderer, life in the disease ridden today alone on the high platform. Ill fortune has laid a bitter frost on my temples, heart-ache and weariness are a thick dust in my wine. " The whole poem is also very precise and elegant in tonal sentence patterns. All eight sentences are right, and so is the first sentence. The strict antithesis is covered up by the fluidity of the image, and the strictness becomes sparse.

The achievement of Du Fu's metrical poems can be said to be that this style is written in a muddy and fluent way, and there is no trace to be found. If it is written carelessly, people will forget that it is a metrical poem. Such as "Delighting in Rain on a Spring Night": "Good rain knows the season, when spring happens. Sneak into the night with the wind, moisten things silently. The wild trails and clouds are all black, and the rivers and boats are only bright. If you look at the red and wet places, the flowers will be heavy in Jinguan City. " The last four sentences use flowing water pairs to write down the charm of spring rain in one breath, which comes unexpectedly and silently, and at the end, writes a surprise that suddenly looks back, with rigorous and seamless rules.

Du Fu is good at using many systems of classical poetry and creatively developing them. Du Fu's thought of caring about people's livelihood and his achievements in rhythmic poetry directly influenced the creation of new Yuefu by Yuan Zhen, Bai Juyi and others in the middle Tang Dynasty. He is the pioneer of the new Yuefu poetry style. His Yuefu poems contributed to the development of the new Yuefu movement in the middle Tang Dynasty. His "May 7th" ancient novel, which is also a history of poetry, begins to narrate and focuses on the whole story, marking the high achievement of China's poetic art. The Song Dynasty, which was full of social contradictions, was the most prosperous time to learn from Du Fu, and the Jiangxi Poetry School with Du Fu as the Sect appeared. Gu Yanwu and others in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties also had an obvious tendency to learn from Du Fu. Like Du Fu, they also used metrical poems to reflect the anti-Qing struggle at that time and were impassioned.
