Make an appreciative comment
"Petals fall like tears, and lonely birds sing their sorrows." Flowers shed tears mercilessly, birds are frightened without hatred, and flowers and birds have grievances because of people. Flowers in spring are originally beautiful and fragrant; Birds in spring should cheer and sing euphemistic songs to make people happy. Whether it is "feeling for time" or "hating farewell", it embodies Du Fu's misery.
The meaning of these two sentences can be understood as follows: I feel the frustration of the current situation and see the flowers bloom and fall; I feel depressed and resentful, and I feel scared when I hear birds singing. People's inner pain, when encountering happy scenes, will cause more pain, just like "I'm going camping, willow yiyi;" Today, I think, this is how it rains. Du Fu inherited this artistic technique of expressing sadness with musical scenes, and endowed it with deeper feelings, and obtained stronger artistic effects.
