Du Fu's Hope in Spring
Original text:
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.
Sad state, can not help but burst into tears, amazing birds, leaving sorrow and hate.
The war lasted for more than half a year, and letters from home were rare, with a hundred thousand gold.
Twisting with melancholy, scratching my head and thinking, the more I scratch my white hair, I can hardly insert a hairpin.
Appreciation (excerpt):
"Petals fall like tears, and lonely birds sing their sorrows." Flowers shed tears mercilessly, birds are frightened without hatred, and flowers and birds have grievances because of people. Flowers in spring are originally beautiful and fragrant; Birds in spring should cheer and sing euphemistic songs to make people happy. Whether it is "feeling for time" or "hating farewell", it embodies Du Fu's misery. The meaning of these two sentences can be understood as follows: I felt the defeated situation, and I cried when I saw Bloom; I feel depressed and resentful, and I feel scared when I hear birds singing. People's inner pain, when encountering happy scenes, will cause more pain, just like "I'm going camping, willow yiyi;" Today, I think, this is how it rains. Du Fu inherited this artistic technique of expressing sadness with musical scenes, and endowed it with deeper feelings, and obtained stronger artistic effects. The poet felt the pain of national destruction and death. The more beautiful the scene, the more it will increase his inner pain. This kind of association creates feelings and empathizes with things through the description of scenery. It shows the poet's deep feelings of worrying about the country and the people and missing his family.
