Three hundred Tang poems, life and friendship time translation and annotation translation
The journey of life is often difficult to meet after parting, just like it is difficult to meet stars and businessmen.
Tonight is another auspicious day. Let's talk by candlelight.
How many youthful and energetic years can there be? In a blink of an eye, you and I have cleared the air.
Half of my old friends have passed away, and I have to lament repeatedly because of my inner agitation.
I didn't expect that we could visit your hall today after 20 years of separation.
The difference is that you are not married, and suddenly your children are a mess.
They greeted my father's old friends politely and kindly asked me where I came from.
Before you could tell all the past, you urged your children to set the table and drinks quickly.
Braving the night rain, I cut off fresh leeks and took out newly cooked yellow rice for me to taste.
The host felt that the opportunity to meet was rare and drank more than a dozen cups in a row.
I am very touched that you are not drunk after drinking more than ten cups in a row and have deep feelings for your old friends.
Leave tomorrow, and Qian Shan will be separated by thousands of waters. The wide world is really sad.
Appreciating the old friend who wrote this poem after a long separation, the homely scenes, the homely words and expressions show the feeling that ordinary people only have in troubled times, and at the same time they are very vivid and natural, so they have always been loved by people.
The first four sentences say: life is like people participating in Shang Xing, and they can't meet each other; When is the evening? Let's talk together in this candlelight. These words, from parting to meeting, are also the intersection of sadness and joy, bringing a strong sense of life into the poem. When the poet reunited with Wei Ba, the Anshi Rebellion had lasted for more than three years. Although the two capitals have been recovered, the rebels are still rampant and the situation is turbulent. The poet's lament hides his feelings about this chaotic era.
Reunion after a long separation, changes in each other's appearance, naturally the most likely to attract attention. Both of them were very young when they left, and they were already gray at this time. The sentence "Two men who were young not long ago now have gray temples" comes from the sentence "When can I become", which expresses regret and fear for the rapid changes in the world and life. Then ask each other about the whereabouts of relatives and friends, but half of them are dead, and each other can't help but exclaim, feeling * * * spicy. It is said that Du Fu is only 48 years old this year, and half of his relatives have passed away, which is not normal. If the beginning "it is almost as difficult for friends to meet" has vaguely revealed the flavor of the times, then half of the deaths of such relatives and friends have more strongly hinted at a great war of separation. After the sentence "How do you know" followed by "Tonight is a rare thing, this candle", the poet deliberately used rhetorical questions, which included the feeling that each other could unexpectedly live to this day. Among them, there is neither liberation of survival nor deep pain.
The first ten sentences are mainly lyric. Then turn to narrative, which has nothing to do with human feelings everywhere. With the passage of twenty years, this time, there was a scene of children walking in rows. Of course, there are also people who suddenly sigh that dusk has arrived. The next four sentences, "Yi Ran", describe the manners, kindness and loveliness of children in Wei Ba. When a poet writes leisurely, he always reveals a sincere and touching feeling. After the word "they asked me where I went on the trip", you can write some scenes of bumpy roads, but the poet only uses the word "then, when we talked for a while" lightly, which shows the beauty of his cutting. Then he wrote about the hospitality of Chu Shi: the dish is spring leek cut in the rain at night, and the rice is delicious rice mixed with yellow rice. This is naturally a home-cooked dish, reflecting the simple friendship between old friends. The following four sentences of "Title Name" describe the situation that the host and guest drink freely. When old friends meet again, they accidentally drink, but they drink ten glasses of wine in a row. This is a sign that the host is not calm inside. The master is still like this, and Du Fu's excitement is of course self-evident. "Just like I have always loved you in my heart?" Summarize the past and present feelings, and always focus on it. In this way, the attachment to "tonight" will naturally cause the sigh of leaving tomorrow. The last two sentences respond to the beginning, "it is difficult for friends to meet each other like the stars in the morning and evening", implying the difference between tomorrow and the past: the difference between the past and the present is that we are lucky to resume the meeting; Tomorrow's departure, what year will it be? The low back is profound and graceful, which is intriguing.
The poet visited his old friend in turbulent times and turbulent journey. The reunion of old friends who have been separated for 20 years has undergone great changes, and it is particularly unusual to meet for a short time. As a result, the light in front of us has become a beautiful corner that survived in a chaotic environment; That night, it became the only moment in troubled times with a peaceful and quiet atmosphere; Among them, the beauty of human feelings is more brilliant than the disturbed war. "Tonight is a rare event, * * * this candle", pushed far away by the war, seems like a peaceful life before Shangbeizi, and seems to catch my eye at once. It is conceivable that candlelight is harmonious, emitting the fragrance of yellow pipes and spring leeks, and catching up with old friends is worth cherishing and cherishing for poets who have suffered from troubled times. The poet's description of tonight's events just reveals the beauty of life and the preciousness of human feelings, and makes readers feel how it is in line with people's feelings and wishes to end this war.
Creation background This poem was probably written by Du Fu when he joined the army in the spring of 759 AD (the second year of Tang Suzong Gan Yuan). In March 759, the division of Jiujidu was defeated by Yecheng, and Du Fu passed Fengxian when he returned to Huazhou. I visited my childhood friend Wei Ba Chu Shi who lived in the country. We met overnight and said goodbye in a hurry, so I wrote this emotional work and gave it to Wei Ba Chu Shi. Du Fu (7 12-770), with beautiful words, is called "Du Gongbu" and "Du Shaoling" in the world. Born in Fugong County, Henan Province (now gongyi city, Henan Province), he was a great realistic poet in the Tang Dynasty. Du Fu is regarded as a "poet saint" by the world, and his poems are called "the history of poetry". Du Fu and Li Bai are called "Du Li" together. In order to distinguish them from the other two poets Li Shangyin and Du Mu, that is, "Little Du Li", Du Fu and Li Bai are also called "Big Du Li". He is concerned about the country and the people and has a noble personality. About 65,438+0,400 of his poems have been preserved, and his poetic skills are exquisite, which is highly respected in Chinese classical poetry and has far-reaching influence. He lived in Chengdu from 759 to 766 and was commemorated by Du Fu's Caotang. Du Fu
The peach is more than a hundred feet today, and the flowers have withered. Sigh for ten years, Hume Momo. Ten years away from Leng Hai, I look forward to it. Even if the weather is cold and sunny, there will be several Chai Men villages and Yang Liuzhi to commemorate this annual festival. It happens every year to get together and leave in a hurry. Disturb the clues, be ruthless by the years, fade away from youth. A moment that should last forever? Before I knew it, it had come and gone. Everything comes in spring to send wax, and tonight is the end of the year. Last year, there was a shortage of rice in the army. This year, rice is cheap and hurts farmers. Ten years of life and death are two boundless, disapproving and unforgettable. In the prime of life, Fahua became gaunt and became Zhu Yan. Blue lake and willow shade, the figure is immersed in waves. I often remember to drink sanhua when I was a child. With red candles on your back and embroidered curtains hanging down, you have a long dream and you don't know it. Against Huanglong City, our army was sent out a long time ago. Cold food in Ming dynasty is another spring.
