Extended information 1. Creation background
Bai Juyi was the secretariat of Hangzhou for two years, and later he was the secretariat of Suzhou for more than a year. When he was young, he roamed the south of the Yangtze River and lived in Suzhou and Hangzhou. He knew Jiangnan like the back of his hand, so he was deeply impressed. I retired from Suzhou secretariat and returned to Luoyang for more than ten years. I wrote this song "Recalling Jiangnan".
Second, appreciate
The first song is "Memories of Jiangnan", covering Suzhou and Hangzhou and writing about spring scenery. The whole word is five sentences. When I opened my mouth, I praised "Jiangnan is good!" It is because of "good" that we should "remember". The phrase "I used to be familiar with the scenery" shows that the "good" scenery in Jiangnan is not what people say, but what I personally felt and experienced in those years, thus leaving an unforgettable memory in my own aesthetic consciousness.
It not only implements the word "good", but also clarifies the word "memory". Next, he wrote down the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River in two words: "At sunrise, the river flowers win the fire, and in spring, the river is blue." "Sunrise" and "Spring is coming" have different meanings. Spring is full of flowers and very red; The red sun is brighter and redder. Here, the brightness of the color is improved because of the same hue baking and dyeing.
The water by the river is green, and the red sun shines all over the river bank, making the green waves more sparkling. Here, the contrast of different tones enhances the uniqueness of colors. The author associates "flower" with "sun" in order to dye the same color; And "flower" and "river" are connected together, in order to set off different colors.
The river is red, and the river is green. The two are background to each other. So the red one is redder, "Red is better than fire"; Green is greener, "green as blue".
Three. Brief introduction of the author
Du Fu (7 12-770), with beautiful words, is a great realistic poet in the Tang Dynasty, and is also called "Du Li" with Li Bai. Originally from Xiangyang, Hubei Province, he moved to Gongxian County, Henan Province. In order to distinguish Li Shangyin, Du Mu and Xiao Du Li, Du Fu and Li Bai are also called Da Du Li, and Du Fu is often called Lao Du.
In April of the second year of Zhide (757), Guo Ziyi's army came to the north of Chang 'an. Du Fu ventured out of Chang 'an from Jinguangmen in the west of the city, crossed the opposing two armies, and joined forces with Su Zong in Fengxiang (now Baoji, Shaanxi). On May 16th, he was canonized as Zuo Shiyi by Su Zong, so he was called "Du Shiyi".
Unexpectedly, Du Fu soon angered Su Zong by saving the house and was exiled to Huazhou (now Huaxian County), where he was responsible for sacrifice, music, schools, elections, medical care and examinations. After arriving in Iowa, Du Fu was very depressed and upset. He often goes to Zhengxian Pavilion on the Xixi River (near the old viewing platform in Xinglin Town today) to relieve his worries.
In his poems, such as Tizheng County Pavilion, Bitter Stories in Early Autumn, Independence, and Skinny Horse Travel, he expressed his sigh and resentment at those who were frustrated in their official career, indifferent in the world and treacherous. Du Fu was rescued by Prime Minister Zhang Gao and released. But "the emperor didn't pay much attention to the records", and Su Zong no longer reused Du Fu.
In September this year, Chang 'an was recovered. In November, Du Fu returned to Chang 'an, where he still stayed to tidy up his bones. Although he was loyal to his duties, he was eventually implicated in the Fang Yi case and was demoted to join the army in June of the first year of Gan Yuan (758).
At the end of the first year of Gan Yuan (758), Du Fu temporarily left Huazhou to visit relatives in Luoyang and Yanshi (both in present-day Henan). In March of the following year, the battle between Tang Jun and Yecheng (now Anyang, Henan Province) broke out and Tang Jun was defeated.
On his way back to Huazhou from Luoyang, Du Fu was deeply touched by the endless disasters brought by the war and the patriotic behavior of the people who joined the army. He wrote immortal epics-three officials (Xin 'an official, Shi Haoguan official, Tongguan official) and three farewell (newly married, resigned, homeless). "
In the third year of Dali (768), Du Fu was homesick and went out of the gorge by boat, first to Jiangling and then to the police. Drift to Yueyang, Hunan at the end of winter and park under Yueyang Tower. Boarding the long-awaited Yueyang Tower, overlooking from the porch, facing the vast Dongting Lake, I thought of my wandering in my later years and the country was troubled, so I wrote "Climbing Yueyang Tower".
Because of the difficulties of life, not only can we not return to the north, but we are forced to travel further south. In the first month of the fourth year of Dali, from Yueyang to Tanzhou (Changsha), from Tanzhou to Hengzhou (Hengyang), and then back to Tanzhou.
In the fifth year of Dali (770), Zang Jun made an insurrection in Tanzhou, and Du Fu fled to Hengzhou again. He had planned to go to Chenzhou to take refuge in his uncle Cui Kun, but when he went to Leiyang, he had to stop at Tianyi Fang when the river rose. He didn't eat anything for five days. Fortunately, the county magistrate Nie sent someone to deliver wine and meat, and was saved.
Later, Du Fu had to travel more than 200 miles upstream from Leiyang to Chenzhou. At this time, the flood did not retreat, and Du Fu returned to the north with one heart. At this time, he changed his plan, went downstream and returned to Tanzhou. In the winter of the fifth year of Dali (770), Du Fu died on a boat from Tanzhou to Yueyang. At the age of 59.
