Two orioles sing green willows, and a row of egrets go up to the sky.

The last two sentences are: the window contains Xiling Snow, and the Wu Dong Wan Li boating gate.

1, the source of the poem

This poem is the third in a group of poems by Du Fu in Tang Dynasty. In order to distinguish the first two poems, it is generally called "quatrains: Two orioles singing green willows". This poem was written by Du Fu when he heard that the Tang Dynasty put down the "An Shi Rebellion".

2. Poetry translation

Two orioles are singing touching songs among the green willows, and a group of neat egrets are flying straight into the blue sky.

Sitting by the window, you can see the snow that doesn't melt in Xiling for thousands of years. In front of the door, thousands of miles away, ships from Wu Dong are moored.

3. Introduction to Ancient Poetry

This poem describes the beautiful spring scenery around the thatched cottage. The first two sentences subtly describe the beautiful scenery in front of us from different angles. The last two sentences show that the poet misses his hometown because he saw Wu's boat. Although I was in the thatched cottage, I thought for thousands of years and saw Wan Li. The whole poem reposes the poet's sense of loss, loneliness and boredom in the passage of time with fresh and light scenery.

4. Introduction to the author

Du Fu (7 12-770) was born in Xiangyang, Han nationality, and then moved to Gongxian County, Henan Province. Claiming to be young and old at night, he was a great realistic poet in Tang Dynasty.

Du Fu's influence on China's classical poetry is far-reaching, and he is called "the sage of poetry" by later generations, and his poems are called "the history of poetry". Later generations called him Du Shiyi and Du Gongbu, and also called him Du Shaoling and Du Caotang.

The core of Du Fu's thought is the Confucian thought of benevolent government. Although he was not famous before his death, he became famous later, which had a far-reaching influence on China literature and Japanese literature. About 65,438+0,500 poems of Du Fu have been preserved, most of which are collected by Du Gongbu. Representative works include Spring Hope, Northern Expedition, Three Officials and Three Farewells.
