spring scenery
Author: Du Fu (Tang)
Chang' an fell, the country was broken, and only the mountains and rivers remained; Spring has come, and the sparsely populated Chang' an city is densely forested.
Sad state, can not help but burst into tears, amazing birds, leaving sorrow and hate.
The war lasted for more than half a year, and letters from home were rare, with a hundred thousand gold.
Twisting with melancholy, scratching my head and thinking, the more I scratch my white hair, I can hardly insert a hairpin.
Poetry translation
When the country fell, only the mountains and rivers remained the same, and the urban areas were overgrown with weeds in spring.
I was worried and sad, but I cried when I saw Bloom. The song of birds leaving my family made my heart beat.
The war has not stopped in March, and the letters from home are precious and can be worth thousands of dollars.
I just scratch my head when I am depressed and upset, so that my hair is sparse and I can't insert a hairpin [1].
Creation background
In November of the 14th year of Tianbao (755), An Lushan rebelled against the Tang Dynasty. In June of the following year, the rebels captured Tongguan, and Tang Xuanzong fled to Sichuan in a hurry. In July, Prince Hengli was located in Lingwu (present-day Ningxia), known as Su Zong in the world, and was renamed as De. When Du Fu heard the news, he settled down in Duzhou and went to Suzong Court alone. Unfortunately, he was captured by the rebels on the way and sent to Chang 'an, but he was not imprisoned because of his humble position. In the spring of the second year of Zhide, Du Fu, who was in the occupied area, witnessed the scene of depression in Chang 'an with mixed feelings, so he wrote this famous book [2].
Spring Hope is a five-character poem written by Du Fu, a poet in the Tang Dynasty.
The first four sentences of this poem describe the miserable and dilapidated scene of Chang 'an in spring, with ups and downs; In the last four sentences, the poet's feelings of caring for relatives and state affairs are full of bitterness and indignation. This poem is well-proportioned, with "where the petals have spilled like tears" as the first couplet to lament the defeat of the country, "and the lonely bird has mourned" as the first couplet to worry about homesickness, while the last couplet emphasizes that the worry is deep and white, and the confrontation is delicate and the voice is tragic, which shows the poet's patriotic feelings.
