Spring is a 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.
The rhyme of the whole poem is rigorous. In the couplet, "Where are the petals like tears?" should be the sigh of the first couplet, "And the lonely bird has sung her grief?" should be the worry of homesickness in the couplet, while in the last couplet, the poet's patriotic feelings are fully expressed by emphasizing the deep sorrow and the delicate confrontation and tragic voice.
2. Creative background
This poem was written in March 757, the second year from Tang Suzong to German. In June of the first year, Anshi rebels invaded Chang 'an. "In Dassault for three days, private wealth was plundered" and the city was set on fire, making the prosperous and magnificent Kyoto a ruin. In August, Du Fu placed his wife in Qiang Village, Zhangzhou, was captured on the way to Lingwu in the north, and was taken to Chang 'an after the fall. It's been over half a year. It was late spring, touching the scene and breaking my heart. I created the five laws that have been passed down for generations.
3. Overall appreciation
This poem reflects the poet's good sentiment of loving his country and his family. The meaning is not straight, the scenery is not free, the emotion is strong but not superficial, the content is rich but not miscellaneous, the meter is rigorous but not rigid, and it is written clearly, so it has been circulated for more than 1,200 years.
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. At the beginning, I wrote what I saw in spring: the capital fell and the city was broken. Although the mountains and rivers are still there, there are grass everywhere and the trees are gray. The poet remembers how prosperous the spring in Chang 'an was, with birds singing and flowers fragrant, sheep flying, bright smoke and tourists lingering, but that scene has disappeared today.
A word "broken" is shocking, and another word "deep" is sad. The poet wrote about today's scenery, which truly expressed people's sense of history, pinned their feelings on things, and created a desolate atmosphere for the whole poem with the help of scenery.
