Du Fu's Poems of Leaving Chengdu

Du Fu's poem of leaving Chengdu is "Going to Shu".

Going to Shu is the work of Du Fu, a great poet in the Tang Dynasty. Because of the death of a friend, the author lost the dependence of life, foresaw the chaos in Sichuan, and decided to return to the east of Xiadong. I will leave Shu and write a poem to sum up my wandering life in recent years.

This poem expresses the poet's helplessness in realizing all his wishes in his later years. The whole poem shows the poet's concern for national security and constant anxiety and tears, including regret, anger, relief and rich connotation.

The original text is as follows:

Five guests in Shu County, one year in Zizhou. How to turn traffic jams into xiaoxiang tours? Things have turned yellow, and I will spend the rest of my life with Bai Ou. There is no need to shed tears when the security minister is here.

Appreciation is as follows:

The poem's first couplet "Five guests in Shujun, one year in Zizhou" means that the poet lived in Chengdu for five years, one of which was spent in Zizhou (Santai, Sichuan). How to turn traffic jam into a trip to Xiaoxiang means: at present, there are war horses everywhere, and the traffic in Guanshan is blocked. Why should I visit Xiaoxiang?

This is to express an ulterior secret in a questioning tone, not only to himself, but also to all relatives and friends who care about him. The implication is that I know that the situation is so chaotic now that I shouldn't travel far, so I came out of my heart to ask questions, and I felt helpless and angry. During the reign of Yanwu, in order to take care of the poet's poor life, he was recommended as an economic staff officer and a member of the Ministry of Industry.
