Drum guard (2) breaks pedestrians, geese sound autumn. The dew turns to frost tonight, and the moonlight at home is bright!
Oh, my brothers, what's the point of my life without you? . However, if something goes wrong with peacetime letters, the situation is (4) irreversible.
Translation:
The drums of the garrison building are louder, and there are no traces of pedestrians on the road. The border town is deserted, the autumn wind is cool, and only the lonely geese moan. The frost and dew are particularly white tonight, and the moon is still bright in my hometown. When brothers are separated, the family is ruined. Where can I find the news of life and death? Letters haven't arrived for a long time, not to mention the constant war.
Parallel connection point. "He knows the dew will be frost tonight" not only describes the scenery, but also points out the season. It was on the night of the Millennium Festival. It's clear and full of dew, which makes people feel chilly. "The moonlight at home is how bright!" It is also a landscape painting, but it is slightly different from the previous sentence. What the author writes is not completely objective, but incorporates his own subjective feelings. It's a bright moon in the world, and it makes no difference. Determined to say that the moon in my hometown is the brightest; It's obviously my own psychological illusion, so I have to be so sure, no doubt. However, this fantasy-based approach will not make people feel unreasonable, because it profoundly shows the author's subtle psychology and highlights his feelings for his hometown. These two sentences are also very skillful in refining sentences. All they want to say is "tonight is white" and "the moon in my hometown". Only by changing the word order, the tone is particularly vigorous and powerful. So Wang Dechen said: "Zi Mei is good at using things and common language. If she is isolated or inverted, her language will be healthy and firm, and her meaning will be profound and stable." ("Bird History") From here, we can also see Du Fu's ability to turn the tablet into magic.
