The bamboo shoots in the west of the hall are lush, blocking the door, and the peppers planted in the north are also lush, growing into a row but separating the neighboring villages. Seeing the ripe plums in the garden, I want to wait until the plums are ripe before inviting Zhu to taste the new ones. Seeing the pine trees in front of the hall, I want to talk to Ruan Sheng about Panasonic's past and present.
Four quatrains are a set of poems written by Du Fu, a great poet in Tang Dynasty. The first poem is the outline of this group of poems. First, write the thatched cottage and give it four scenes, and then write the poet's simple requirements for life, which contains the poet's indifferent state of mind in the plain narrative of scenery description.
Creative background:
This group of poems was written in the spring of 764, the second year of Guangde, Tang Daizong. In the first year of Baoying, Tang Suzong (762), Chengdu Yin entered the DPRK, and turmoil occurred in Shu. Du Fu once avoided Zizhou (treating Santai in Sichuan). In the second year, the Anshi Rebellion was put down. A year later, Yanwu returned to Chengdu and went to Shu again.
Du Fu learned the news of this old friend and followed him back to Chengdu Caotang. At this time, Du Fu's mood was particularly comfortable. Faced with a vibrant scene, he couldn't help writing this group of impromptu poems. Du Yi of Wang Siyuan in the late Ming Dynasty said that this group of poems was "built after living in the thatched cottage, and it is planned to spend the rest of my life here, but I said so".
