Guest arrival
The north and south of the thatched cottage are all springs, and the flock of gulls flew in.
The old lady didn't sweep the flower path for the guests. Today, it's only for you. Chai Men hasn't opened it for you yet, but it will open it for you today.
Too far from the city, too far from good food, too thin family background, only old wine.
If you are willing to invite the old man next door to drink with you, he will drink his cup through the fence!
This is a chronicle poem full of rich flavor of life, which shows the poet's simple character and warm mood. Author's Note: "I am very happy with Cui Mingfu" briefly explains the meaning of the problem.
One or two sentences begin with the outdoor scenery, pointing out the time and place of the guest's visit and the mood of the author on the eve of his visit. "I'm in the north, I'm in the south, and spring water is flooding" makes the environment with green water rippling here very beautiful and lovely. This is the thatched cottage by the river in Chengdu. The word "Du" implies that the water of the Chunjiang River overflows, giving people a feeling of vastness. In the works of the ancients, flocks of seagulls are often the companions of hermits by the water. Their arrival "day after day" points out the tranquility of the environment and adds a secluded color to the author's life. "But see" implies that the flock is lovely, but seeing other tourists is too monotonous! In this way, the author is immersed in the scenery, showing his loneliness in the leisurely Jiangcun village. This skillfully paved the way for the happy mood of the whole poem.
Zhuan Xu turned his brush strokes to the courtyard, which led to "visitors". The author adopts the tone of talking with the guests, which enhances the real sense of life of the guests and the host. The last sentence is that the garden path full of flowers and plants has not been cleaned to welcome guests. The next sentence says that the door that has been closed has only been opened for you for the first time today. Lonely, the guests come, and the host who has always been leisurely and quiet can't help but be overjoyed. These two sentences, set off before and after, have deep feelings. Not only do lobbyists not come often, but the host will not easily delay the guests' intentions. Today, "Mr." is here, which is conducive to seeing the deep friendship between the two people and making the happiness behind them settle down. The meaning of the former sentence is more detached from the meaning of the latter sentence "starting today", which complements the former two sentences.
The above is a virtual description of the guests, and the following is a real description of the guests. The author abandoned other plots and chose the life scene that can best express the affection between the guest and the host, and painted it with deep colors and intentions. "It's a long way to the market, I can't give you much, but there is old wine for us to drink in my hut", which makes us seem to see the scene where the author invites guests to eat and often advises them to drink, and hear the author's apology for the lack of rich food and wine: it is really inconvenient to buy things far from the market, and the dishes are very simple, so we must use self-brewed old wine, so please help yourself! Household words sound very kind, from which we can easily feel the host's sincere hospitality and inability to apologize, as well as the deep friendship between host and guest. There is a harmonious atmosphere between the lines.
The feeling of being a guest seems to have been written enough here. If you describe the happy scene from the front, it is obviously tasteless. However, the poet skillfully ended with "Should we call my elderly neighbors to join us and call the remaining cups through the fence", which pushed the atmosphere of the dinner to a more enthusiastic climax. The poet shouted and asked the man next to him to have a drink. This detail description is delicate and realistic. It is conceivable that the more two girlfriends drink, the stronger their interest, the more excited and cheerful they are, and the atmosphere is quite warm. As far as writing is concerned, the last two sentences are full of twists and turns.
Binzhi
There are few secluded places to pass,
It's hard to help old patients any more.
Are there any articles that surprise the sea?
Full of old chariots and horses stationed in Jianggan.
I didn't expect to be a good guest after staying for a long time.
A hundred years of rotten rice.
Never mind that there is no supply in the wild,
I also came to read the medical column on impulse.
This poem was written in the first year of Shangyuan (760) when Du Fu lived in a thatched cottage in Chengdu. It is called "Have a Guest". The "guest" in the title of the poem refers to the "distinguished guest" whose arrival is notified in advance by the "chariots and horses", which is different from the "intimate guest" who does not sweep the "flower diameter" and "comes unexpectedly". In terms of words, it is "different in meaning" (Chen Qiutian). The name "Bin" is not exactly mentioned in the poem, but the whole poem reveals a proud tone and an ironic meaning, which shows that this guest is respected by the poet but not close or even disliked.
You should write a sentence or two as a guest extension. The thatched cottage was first built, living in seclusion, and few people patronized it. Suddenly I heard on the radio that a distinguished guest was coming, so I had to greet him politely. But the ups and downs of "helping the elderly patients" and "farewell" are really difficult. This poem clearly shows the unhappiness of being old and sick and suffering from social interaction.
Write three or four sentences about surprises. Jianggan, by the river. Judging from the above sentence, this guest should have heard of Du Fu's name and specially informed him to interview. Because of this, the poet said that when I first arrived in Chengdu, there was no "article" of stormy waves, and it was futile to "stay" in Jianggan for a while. The words "You" and "Man Lao" play a symmetrical role here. I have no literary name. You visited in vain, using the style of prose, controlling the laws of metrical poems, and being arrogant and ironic, all of which can reflect the characteristics of Du Fu's seven metrical poems.
Write five or six sentences about hospitality. In the last sentence, it is easy to change "object" into "guest", which not only avoids duplication with the title of the poem, but also aims at balance and harmony. You are a "good guest", you just sit down, stay long and get scared. Although I can't afford the money, I have tried my best. "Hundred years" means the same life. The next sentence says: I have been eating "coarse grains" all my life. As a "pedant", I hope I can forgive you for your poor hospitality. Modesty is actually self-harm.
I'm very sorry. Invite your guests to come again. "Supply" refers to wine and food. "medical column", anther column, "medical column", that is, looking at flowers. The poet said: If the "wild" and "offering" are not too thin, we still hope to "see" the flowers on a whim. This is a polite remark, and it also means to bid farewell to Fujian. Irony is faintly visible.
Although the title of this poem highlights the word "guest", in terms of writing, it is always the opposition between guest and master. In fact, it is the poet himself who stands out. From emphasizing "seclusion" and welcoming "guests" as "difficult" to showing the title of "where", and then to watching flowers slowly and simply, although the host and guest are always talking and laughing, they convey the simple and proud expression of the protagonist everywhere. In Du Fu's works, there are two words: one is modesty, the other is self-injury, and the other is a profound portrayal of the poet's life.
