Introduction to the work:
Yuefu in Han Dynasty was an official position in charge of music in ancient times. There were Yuefu orders in the Qin Dynasty and the Western Han Dynasty. The Yuefu in the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was large in scale, and its function was to take charge of the music used in the court and collect folk songs and music. After Wei and Jin Dynasties, all poems sung by Yuefu organs in Han Dynasty were called Yuefu poems.
The basic principle of Han Yuefu's creation is "feeling sad and happy, starting from things" (Han Shu Yi Wen Zhi). It inherits the fine tradition of realism in The Book of Songs and reflects the social reality of Han Dynasty extensively and profoundly. The most outstanding achievement of Han Yuefu's art is its narrative. Secondly, he is good at selecting typical details and expressing his character through his words and deeds. There are five words in its form.
Original text:
In the green garden, sunflowers are exposed to the sun.
In spring, everything is brilliant.
I am always afraid that the autumn festival will come and the leaves of yellow flowers will wither.
The river runs to the sea, and when will it return to the west?
If young people don't work hard, old people will be sad.
Precautions:
This poem is selected from Han Yuefu, a court musical organ established since the Qin Dynasty. During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, a large number of poems were collected from the people, which were rich in content and wide in subject matter. This poem is one of them.
