Dan Qing presented it to General Cao Ba.
Du Fu
Jiang Caojun is a descendant of Cao Cao's descendants, but now he is reduced to a poor family.
Conquerors and their velvet perished, and this literary talent still exists today.
You learned your brushwork from Mrs Wei, but I hate Wang Youjun.
Indulge in painting, you know that the age of youth is coming. In fact, wealth and status are floating away like clouds to me.
During the Kaiyuan period, you spent a lot of time with the emperor and often accompanied him to Nanfengyuan.
The portrait of the hero in Lingyan Pavilion has faded, and Jiang Caojun can't brush away the repainted noodles.
You have crowned all the prime ministers with official crowns, fierce arrows with big feathers at half waist.
You make every hair of the founder of this dynasty come alive, heroic and ironic.
The first emperor had a horse named Yuhua, and artists imitated it in various postures.
One day, they took him to the red marble stairs, stood up and turned off the wind.
Then, general, I ordered you to continue your work. You concentrated all your money on a piece of silk.
After a while, the dragon horse appeared on silk, which was much more mediocre than all generations of horses.
There is a jade flower standing on the bench in front of the courtyard.
The emperor smiled and urged the left and right to give you gold, and the servant and the groom were all stunned.
Han Gan, a student of the general, can draw a horse and has many good images.
Han Gan's painting shows no inner spirit, which often kills Liu Hua's horse of life.
The general's painting is beautiful, and the beauty lies in the painting. They are only willing to write a portrait for him.
Now you are wandering in this war-torn society, and ordinary paintings are ordinary passers-by.
In your later years, you suffered from the eyes of the world, and no one in the world was so extremely poor as you.
From the earliest time, I have been reading records all day? ? Wrapped around him.

[Brief Comment] This poem was written at the same time as General Cao's painting a horse at the secretary's house. It was a masterpiece that Du Fu personally presented to Cao Ba in Sichuan. As a sister poem about Cao Ba's painting, both poems highly praise Cao Ba Gao Chao's painting skills, but in terms of ideological content, this poem focuses on accusing the dark society of destroying talents. This poem is a poem about feelings. At that time, Cao Ba drew a royal horse for the emperor. "The emperor rewards you with smiles and gifts", which is a great honor; How bitter it is to make a living by painting portraits of ordinary people nowadays. "Being poor is against the customs". As for Du Fu himself, didn't he also have the painful experience of "using literary talent to motivate the Lord in the past, and now he is hungry and cold to the roadside"? Therefore, in this poem, although the main content is to praise Cao Ba's "Danqing", the intention is still to experience, and this experience is reflected through the rise and fall of Cao Ba's painting, so it is "the first hand of ancient and modern painting". The whole poem is divided into five paragraphs, each with eight sentences and one rhyme. The first eight sentences are the general outline of an article, which not only narrates Cao Ba's family background and the specialization of painting art, but also highlights the painter's noble character of regarding wealth as a floating cloud. The next eight sentences should be written in a letter that Cao Ba painted the protagonist in Lingyange, which is vivid and vivid. In the third paragraph, the poet is full of passion and eulogizes Cao Ba's great achievements of "flowing horses through the ages". Next is the fourth paragraph, which is a supplement and development to the third paragraph. Cao Ba's horse painting skills are compared in many aspects, such as "supreme smile", "swift horse hanging eyes" and "painting meat without drawing bones" by Han Gan. In the last paragraph, eight sentences surround misfortune and injustice: reputation is no longer, Kan? ? For living. This is the treatment given to a talented painter by feudal society, and it also includes the poet's remorse for his unfortunate fate. The whole poem is rigorous in structure, but easy to roll, and adopts changeable techniques and swaying posture in narrative.
