For our boys and girls, poor little baby, too young to know where the capital is.
Her cloudy hair is sweet with mist, and her jade-white shoulders are cold in the moonlight.
When can we lie on the screen again and look at the bright light and stop crying? ?
In June, the fifteenth year of Tianbao (756), the Anshi Rebellion invaded Tongguan, and Du Fu fled to Qiang Village in Zhangzhou (now Fuxian County, Shaanxi Province) with his wife and children. In July, Su Zong was stationed in Lingwu (now Ningxia). Du Fu left home in August and went north to Yanzhou (now Yan 'an) in an attempt to reach Lingwu and work for counterinsurgency. But at that time, the rebel forces had expanded to the north of Zhangzhou. Shortly after he left, he was caught by the rebels and sent to Chang 'an after autumn. Looking at the moon and thinking about home, I wrote this famous book that has been told for ages.
Titled Moonlit Night, the author saw the moon in Chang 'an. If you start from yourself, you should write "Tonight's Chang 'an Moon, guests only watch it alone". But what worries him more is not his loss of freedom and uncertain situation, but how worried his wife is about his situation. So, I was deeply moved and touched, and directly wrote "She is far away in Fuzhou, watching the moonlight alone from the window of her bedroom". This has passed through a layer. I am alone outside, of course, watching the moon alone. My wife has children with her, so why "watch alone"? Our boys and girls, poor little babies, are too young to know where the capital is. The wife is not admiring the natural scenery, but "remembering Chang 'an", while the younger children are inexperienced and don't know how to "remember Chang 'an"! The "memory" of the wife contrasts with that of the younger son, highlighting the word "independence" and reaching another level.
122 The words "cherish" and "recall" in couplets should not slip away easily. And this should be sung in connection with Tonight and Watching Alone. The bright moon is in the sky and can be seen every month. Watching it alone, especially tonight, naturally means watching it together in the past and watching it together in the future. The future "watching together" is reserved for the last. In the previous couplets, "watch together" was implied. "In Fuzhou, far away, she was watching the moonlight, looking at it alone from the window of her room. Our boys and girls, poor little babies, are too young to know where the capital is. " -isn't it obvious that he and his wife had the past of "watching the moon" and * * * "recalling Chang 'an"? We know that before the Anshi Rebellion, the author was trapped in Anda for ten years and spent some time with his wife. Hungry and cold with his wife, watching the bright moon together in Chang 'an naturally left a deep memory. When Chang 'an fell and the family fled to Qiang village, it was difficult for them to "see" the moon and "remember Chang 'an" with their wives in Zhangzhou! Now I am trapped in a disorderly army, and my wife is "watching the moon" and "remembering Chang 'an" in Zhangzhou. That "memory" is not only full of bitterness, but also mixed with anxiety and panic The word "memory" is profound and thought-provoking. I used to enjoy the moon with my wife in Zhangzhou, "recalling Chang 'an". Although I have mixed feelings, I still share my worries for my wife. Nowadays, the wife "watches Zhangzhou Moon alone" and "remembers Chang 'an", and "pities" her little children for their innocence, which only adds to the burden. How can she share the worries? The word "pity" is also full of affection and touching.
The third part further shows "recalling Chang 'an" through the image description of his wife enjoying the moon alone. The fog is wet and the clouds are ugly, and the moon is cold and jade arms. The longer I look at the moon, the deeper I miss it. I even worry about whether her husband is still alive. How can I not cry? And this is exactly what the author imagined. I can't help crying at the thought that my wife is worried and can't sleep at night Seeing the moon in both places, each has its own tears, which can not but arouse the hope of ending this painful life; So I ended with a poem expressing hope: "When can we lie on the screen again and look at the bright light and stop crying?" ？” It is a hint to "take a double photo" and the tears start to dry, and then "watch it alone" and the tears don't dry.
This poem expresses the feeling of parting by looking at the moon, but it does not express the feeling of parting between ordinary couples. In the poem "Shu Huai" written half a year later, the author said: "Tongguan was broken last year, and my wife and son have been separated for a long time"; "Send a book to ask Sanchuan (Zhangzhou County where Qiang Village is located), I wonder if my home is there"; "A few people have a life? Do you want to be even! " Referring to two poems, it is not difficult to see that the tears of "watching alone" are saturated with the sorrow of world chaos, while the light of "double photos" shines with the ideal of universal peace. Between the lines, the pulse of the times is clearly discernible.
The title is Moonlit Night, and every word reflects the moon. "Looking alone" and "taking two photos" are the eyes of a poem. It is a reality to watch the moon alone, but from the opposite side, I only wrote that my wife watched the moon in Zhangzhou alone and remembered Chang 'an, while she watched the moon in Chang 'an alone and remembered Zhangzhou but was included. There are both memories and hopes in the "double photo": I am sad for tonight's "watching alone", recalling the same views in the past, and pinning my hopes on the future when I don't know. The text is concise and clear. As Huang Sheng said: "At this point, there is no need to be a poet!"
