Appreciation of the original text and translation of Du Fu's "Youren"

The Youren Tang Dynasty: Du Fu

Guyun also travels in groups, and the sacred objects have returned. Linfeng is in Chixiao, why should it be a ritual?

I used to live with Hui Xun generation, in the middle-aged Cangzhou period. There is no news from the sky, and I am so abandoned.

Internal fear is not the way to follow, and others see flaws. Hong Tao laughs in hidden words and drums at Penglai Pool.

Cui Wei Fusang Sun shines on the coral branches. The sail leans on the green cover, and the Eastern Emperor's clothes are held at dusk.

When you gargle the essence and fluid in your throat, the hazy clouds of your thoughts are faint. Well-known is not enough, Shangshanzhi is cramped.

The five lakes are vast again, and there is still sadness at the end of the year.

Du Fu

Du Fu (712-770), named Zimei, called himself Shaoling Yelao, was known as "Du Gongbu", "Du Shaoling", etc., Han nationality, Fugong, Henan Du Fu, a native of Gongyi County (now Gongyi City, Henan Province), was a great realist poet in the Tang Dynasty. Du Fu was revered as the "Sage of Poetry" by the world, and his poems were called "the history of poetry". Du Fu and Li Bai are collectively known as "Li Du". In order to distinguish them from the other two poets Li Shangyin and Du Mu, known as "Little Li Du", Du Fu and Li Bai are also collectively known as "Big Li Du". He was concerned about the country and the people, and had a noble personality. About 1,400 of his poems have been preserved. His poetic skills are exquisite, and he is highly respected in Chinese classical poetry and has far-reaching influence. He lived in Chengdu from 759 to 766, and is commemorated by Du Fu thatched cottage in later generations.

Poetry Style

Du Fu’s poetry has a variety of styles in style. Yuan Zhen commented on Du Fu: “As for Zimei, the so-called thin and coquettish top should sink. , Song Dynasty, Yan captured Su and Li, angered Cao and Liu, concealed Yan and Xie's aloofness, mixed Xu and Yu's grace, and captured the ancient and modern styles, and combined everyone's unique skills. "Qin Guan also has it. Similar views: "The beauty of Du Zi is a person with a superb style, a very heroic spirit, a dilute interest, a handsome and clean posture, and a beautiful appearance, which is beyond the reach of other schools. However, he does not gather all the schools. For example, Du Fu also has a wild and unruly side, and his heroic spirit can be seen from his famous work "Song of the Eight Immortals in Drinking". The mainstream view is that Du Fu's poetry has a melancholy style, concise language, rigorous meter, exquisite craftsmanship, sincere feelings, plain and elegant conversation, profound description, delicate and touching, and vivid image. His creative style is "to express good sentences for the sake of human nature, but to say nothing that is not shocking". As for the unique narrative style and argumentative style of Du Shi, some scholars believe that it was influenced by "The Book of Songs: Xiaoya", and the generous style of his elegies is similar to "Li Sao". Some scholars also believe that Du's poems have the traditional spirit of benevolent political thought and the spirit of Sima Qian's actual records. There is also a view that Du Fu's poems have a "humanitarian spirit". Han Yu, a great writer in the Tang Dynasty, once compared Du Fu and Li Bai and said: "Li and Du's articles are as bright as ever." Wang Anshi praised Du's poems for his achievement of "there are thousands of ugly beauties in different sizes, but there is no way to carve them out". Volume 7 of Chen Shan's "New Words on Men Liao": "Lao Du's poems should be regarded as the "Six Classics" among poems, while other people's poems are like those of other scholars." Volume 1 of Jiang Shiquan's "Zhongyatang Collected Works" "Preface to the Collection of Detailed Annotations on Du's Poems" is also known as "Du Poet, the "Four Sons Book" among poems."

Poetry Rhythm

Du Fu's In terms of rhythm, the poetry has the characteristics of precise wording and neat contrasts, which is in line with the "architectural beauty" of Chinese poetry. In addition, Du Fu made many innovations in genre. For example, his creativity in the Five and Seven Rhythms is also a unique feature of his literary creation.

Content of Poetry

As for the content of Du Fu's poetry, most of his works reflected the social situation at that time, with a wide range of themes and far-reaching implications. They especially described the suffering of the people and expressed his compassion and benevolence. The people love things and care about the country and the people. Du's poems are known as the history of poetry. This saying was first seen in the late Tang Dynasty. "Du met with the disaster in Lushan and fled to Yong, Long and Shu. After finishing his poems, he inferred that he had gone into hiding, and almost nothing was left behind. Therefore, it is called the History of Poetry." By the Song Dynasty, the conclusion was reached, but the meaning of the history of poetry has its own interpretation. Some people annotate Du's poems with historical events, thinking that Du's poems are documentary poems that can supplement history and prove history, so they are called poetic history. This view only emphasizes the truth and falsehood of historical events, and underestimates the emotional characteristics of poetry. Some people think that Du Fu's historical knowledge and rigorous writing style are comparable to those of the Han Dynasty historian Sima Qian. As for poetry, those who comment on people and events can "do not pretend to be beautiful, and do not hide evil", so it is called the history of poetry. This is advisable. Another theory is that the reason why Du Fu's poems are called "History of Poetry" is because they are compassionate and sad, and this view is also advisable to a certain extent. But there are also those who don't like Du Fu's poems, and Yang Yi doesn't like Du Fu. Liu Fang's "Zhongshan Poetry Talk" says: "Yang Danian doesn't like Du Gongbu's poems, so he calls him a village man.
