Moonlight Remembers Brother Tang Du Fu
The drums of the defenders cut off people's communication, and a lonely goose was singing in autumn in the frontier. The dew turns to frost tonight, and the moonlight at home is bright!
Brothers are scattered, and no one can ask about life and death. Letters sent to Luoyang city are often not delivered, and wars often do not stop.
In the autumn of 759, in the second year of Gan Yuan, Shi Siming led his troops south from Fanyang, captured Bianzhou and entered Luoyang in the west. Shandong, Henan and other places are fighting. At that time, Du Fu's younger brothers Du Ying, Du Guan and Du Feng all lived in Shandong and Henan respectively. Because of the tense war, there was no news, which caused him strong anxiety and missing. Remembering Brothers on a Moonlit Night is a true record of the poet's thoughts and feelings at that time.
The first four sentences describe the scenery, revealing the deep affection of "missing my brother" between the lines:
"A tramp hears the drums that indicate a battle, and a wild goose makes a sound in autumn." The drums are ringing upstairs. Because of frequent and fierce wars, roads are blocked, and there are no pedestrians on the border roads in autumn night. On the border of autumn, only one or two lonely geese are crying sadly.
"He knows that the dew will frost tonight, and how bright the moonlight is at home! "Tonight is the season of the Millennium, and the light is shining all over the earth. Unconsciously, my heart is a little chilly. This naturally reminds me of my distant brothers' yearning for the moon. The moonlight in my hometown should be rounder and brighter than that in other places, right?
The last four sentences focus on expressing deep nostalgia for brothers:
"Oh, my brothers, lost and scattered, what does life mean to me without you? "On this cold moonlit night, I naturally have a taste in my heart. Poor brothers are separated, they are separated from each other. The family is gone, and the brother's life and death are unpredictable. Where can I know if I am dead or alive?
"However, if something goes wrong with the letters in peacetime, what can I expect during the war? "Relatives are scattered everywhere, and letters usually cannot arrive, not to mention the war has not stopped!
The whole poem is orderly in level, coordinated from beginning to end, rigorous in structure and interlocking. During the Anshi Rebellion, people were displaced and prepared for hardship. Du Fu, a poet, was deeply touched by the drums and lonely geese in a foreign land, watching the autumn dew on a moonlit night, missing his brother and worrying about his country and people. He knows that the dew will be frost tonight, and how bright the moonlight is at home! , meaning plain and deep feelings, is a famous sentence that has been circulated for thousands of years.
