2, the original poem:
Quatrain
Du fu in Tang dynasty
Two orioles sing green willows,
A line of egrets rose into the sky.
The window contains autumn snow in Xiling,
Mambo Wu Dong Wan Li Ship.
3. Writing background:
In the spring of the second year of Guangde in Tang Daizong (AD 764), Du Fu returned to Chengdu Caotang because Yanwu came to Shu again. At that time, the Anshi rebellion had been settled, and Du Fu learned the news of his old friend and followed him back to Chengdu Caotang. At this time, the poet was in a particularly good mood. Faced with this lively scene, he couldn't help writing this little poem. I didn't plan the topic in advance, and I didn't plan the topic after writing the poem. I simply take "quatrains" as the topic.
4. Appreciate:
"Two orioles singing green willows, a line of egrets on the sky. The window contains autumn snow in Xiling, and the Wu Dong Wan Li boat stops at the door. " Orioles and green willows present a lively atmosphere, while egrets and blue sky give people a calm and comfortable feeling. The word "song" indicates the bird's complacency. The word "Shang" shows the leisure and elegance of egrets. The alternating colors of yellow, green, white and blue show the beauty of spring and convey the poet's cheerful and comfortable mood. This poem is colorful, artistic and neat. The word "containing" means that the poet is looking out of the window, and this scene seems to be a picture embedded in a window frame. These two sentences show the poet's ease and joy. "Xiling", that is, Minshan Mountain in southwest Chengdu, has snow all year round, so it is called "Qianqiu Snow". "Wu Dong", during the Three Kingdoms period, Sun Quan established his capital in Nanjing, Jiangsu Province, with the name of Wu, also known as Wu. This refers to the Jiangnan area in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. "One thousand autumn snows" means a long time, and "Wan Li Boat" means a vast space. Poets in the thatched cottage, thinking for thousands of years, see through Wan Li, how broad-minded! These two sentences are also the crowning touch of the whole poem, with an open realm and lofty sentiments. It broadens the breadth in space and time, and makes the whole poem stand out at once. It is both deep and heavy, comfortable and open, which is really a famous sentence through the ages.
Su Shi once said: "The intangible painting of Shaoling calligraphy". This poem is like a colorful and vivid landscape banner: orioles, green willows, egrets, blue sky, rivers and snow-capped mountains, with elegant and harmonious colors and alternating images. In the center of the painting are several green weeping willows, and yellow is singing tactfully on the branches; The upper part of the painting is the blue sky, and a line of egrets is reflected in the blue sky; The mountains in the distance can be seen, and the peaks are still the same snow for many years; Half of the hut is exposed nearby, and there is a big river in front. Ships in the distance are moored on the water. In terms of color and lines, the author dyed two goose yellow dots in a piece of green and drew a white line obliquely in the green space. Point, line and surface are organically combined, and the color is bright and harmonious. Poets in the thatched cottage, thinking for thousands of years, see through Wan Li, magnanimous mind, sonorous voice. The whole poem is exquisite, colorful, dynamic and static, with both sound and shape. Every poem is a painting, and now it has formed a magnificent landscape painting in Wan Li.
