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.
This poem was written by Du Fu with the title of "Spring Hope", which was written by Du Fu after An Lushan's army occupied Chang 'an. Du Fu lives in Chang 'an, and it is late spring in March. Seeing the local war, he remembered his family and couldn't help crying, and the birds were sad. Seeing a letter from home is as precious as getting a million dollars. Gradually, I am getting older and my hair is getting less and less, and I can hardly insert a hairpin.
Du Fu had a rough life, and most of them lived a wandering life. When he saw the scene of the country being ruined, the city being ruined and the city being overgrown with weeds, his heart could not help but burst into tears. This poem vividly depicts Du Fu's sad mood and homesickness at that time. When I finished reading this poem with lofty and admirable feelings, my heart was full of patriotism. Looking at the devastated country, I didn't feel the joy that a country should have, but felt a little chill and sadness. How many poets abandoned their pens to join the army at all times and in all countries? They put on their helmets and rushed at the enemy with swords in their hands for the prosperity of the motherland. Some poets, for their own country, finally infiltrated their blood into the earth. How many poets left with hatred when their wishes were not realized? Although they went to the west, they left thousands of patriotic poems behind.
By describing the scenery in the city in spring, the author expresses his love for the motherland, his deep concern for national affairs and the current situation, and once again exudes the sadness revealed by this poem.
