Du Fu's poem "Ascending the Mountain" has always been praised and widely read. Yuan people call it "within a text, every sentence is strange, every sentence is strange." Hu Yinglin Day: "Fifty-six words in this chapter, such as submarine corals, are thin and hard to move and unfathomable, but they are all naked and powerful. There were no ancients in the past and no knowledge in the future. This should be the first of the seven-character method in ancient and modern times. " (Number of Poems) Yang Lun also praised this poem as "Du Ji's Seven-character Rhyme Du Fu's Poems are Exquisite and Complete".
The ancients regarded the ninth day of the ninth lunar month as a mountaineering festival. It is a custom to climb mountains with family or friends on this day to avoid evil spirits and enjoy the scenery. At the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty, the custom of "Scenery" is still on September 9, that is, on September 9. When Mo Ying first arrived, he was very familiar with gas and color red. She can also insert it in the room and say, "Cure evil spirits and conquer clouds. Tang's "Mountain Living in Remembrance of Shandong Brothers" said: "When I am in a foreign land, I miss my relatives twice every festive season. I knew the place where my brother climbed the mountain from a distance, and I inserted a man named Shao. "This is also a work of climbing high and looking far.
The ancient poem Up the Mountain is about the Double Ninth Festival in 767 in Dali, Tang Daizong. On this day, 56-year-old Du Fu boarded the high platform outside Bai Di alone in Sai Zhou, with mixed feelings, and wrote this "pioneering work". The wind is fast and high, the ape cries sadly, and the birds are circling in the white sand. The endless trees are rustling leaves, and the Yangtze River is rolling unpredictably. Li in the sad autumn scenery, a wanderer all the year round, lives alone on the high platform in today's illness. Hard work, bitterness, heartache and fatigue are a thick layer of dust in my wine.
This is a seven-character poem with a desolate and broad scene and boundless momentum. The first four sentences are written as "climbing the mountain to smell the scenery" and the last four sentences are written as "climbing the mountain to feel the feelings". Choosing scenery by reason, embedding feelings and blending scenes fully expresses the poet's complex feelings of wandering for many years, worrying about the country and hurting the time, suffering from illness and loneliness.
Background of ancient poetry
Since the outbreak of the Anshi Rebellion in the 14th year of Tianbao (755), the poet began to move his family from Fengtian to Baishui and from Huazhou to Qin Zhou. At the end of the second year, Gan Yuan arrived in the capital, and then from Bozizhou and Oasis in Mianzhou to Kuizhou in the first year of Dali (766). For more than ten years, poets have been wandering around as guests, suffering from poverty and disease. "The right arm is withered and half deaf". ("Qingming") "Half-lost teeth, left deaf. It's no use lying and worrying about getting sick. (Hostel) "When will your eyes turn black" (Ear).
The poet's ears, eyes and feet are useless, as well as thirst (diabetes), "sick lungs" and hemiplegia. Imagine that a poet who "steals millet and deeds" originally wanted to "stand on the Tao and Tianjin" with the ambition of "to be loyal to the monarch and to make the vulgar pure", but now he is in such a situation, and he is on the stage alone, facing the desolate and depressed autumn scenery. What is his feeling!
