Up the Mountain was written by Du Fu in the autumn of the second year of Dali (767) when he was in Kuizhou. Kuizhou is on the bank of the Yangtze River. The whole poem tells the poet's complex feelings of wandering, old illness and loneliness for many years through mountaineering, which is impassioned and touching. Yang Lun praised this poem as "the first of Du Ji's seven-character poems" (Du Shi Jing Quan), and Hu Yinglin's "Poetry" is even more amazing, and it is the highest of seven-character poems in ancient and modern times.
In the spring of 759, in the second year of Tang Suzong, Gan Yuan,,, Li Guangbi, etc. , led the troops to bypass AnQingXu and yecheng. Because the command was not unified, it was defeated by An Qingxu and 600,000 troops were defeated by Yecheng. Guo Ziyi retreated to Luoyang. Ralph was urgently called up by the court. At this time, Du Fu was returning to Huazhou from Luoyang to join the army. He wrote poems such as Xin 'an Official, Shi Haoguan, Tongguan Official, Newly Married, Resignation and Parting. Later generations called them "three officials" and "three parting" for short. Because it basically uses the brushwork of record, it has the reputation of "poetry history" However, the poet did not look on coldly, but looked at the refugees' worries with a passionate heart of love: "Lonely after Tianbao, lonely in the garden, it is Artemisia." "The dead body smells the grass, and there is blood in Chuanyuandan." "There is no peace in the suburbs and no peace in old age." "Twilight throwing stones at the village, there are collectors who catch people at night? Quot "No matter how angry an official is, why do women cry? ""It's too hasty to say goodbye at dusk. " "Life is homeless, why steam quinoa?" The poet sang and shouted for the people with deep sympathy: "White water flows eastward at dusk, and Qingshan still cries. "Heaven and earth are heartless" and "collapse destroys people's hearts". He wrote down the thrilling scenes of the war years: young and middle-aged people went to the battlefield, and Xin' an officials wanted to arrest teenagers to join the army; Stone moat officials can only take an old woman away when they raid people at night; Tongguan officials are stepping up the construction of the city defense; The newlywed wife sent the groom away in tears; "The old man, whose descendants were killed in the battle, went out in grief and helplessness; Homeless veterans no longer need to say goodbye to anyone. The suffering brought by the war to the people is profound, but people who understand the righteousness are brave enough to share their worries for the country. The old woman, the bride, the old man and the homeless described by the poet are full of respectable spirit of sacrifice. The poet wrote the simple but touching spiritual world of these ordinary people, which made it inevitable for future generations to cry. Du Fu stayed in Shihao Village. He met officials who arrested people and exiled them. Poetry vividly reproduces the poet's personal experience through sketching. Narration without discussion is the characteristic of Du Fu's poems. The poet's feelings are blended into the plain narrative, which is intriguing. On the one hand, it is a tough official who catches people at night, and on the other hand, it is an old man who walks over the wall. What an unusual period! " The contrast between "why officials get angry when they shout" and "why women cry" is shocking. The old woman's speech was even more tearful. It is such an old woman that she has really been taken away. Maybe this is what the old man didn't expect when he climbed over the wall.
"The Mirror of Tang Poetry" said: "No matter how long it is, no matter how simple it is. The word' official call' is dozens of words. According to the screenwriter, if you get rid of the form, you can get the feelings, and if you get rid of the feelings, you can get the spirit. " Wuyue was quoted as saying in the Summary of Poems of Tang and Song Dynasties, "This poem is especially sad, and the emotion is absolutely sad."
