China's metrical poems pay more attention to rhyme and antithesis. Metric restrictions, like invisible shackles, have brought great restrictions to the poet's poetry creation. Du Fu was one of the most outstanding poets in ancient China, and was called "Poet Saint"! He left more than 1400 poems in his life, with many classics, which was the guide of "New Yuefu Poetry" in the middle Tang Dynasty.
Judging from the "freedom" of China's ancient poetry creation, the "freedom" of ancient poetry creation is greater than quatrains, and the "freedom" of quatrains creation is greater than metrical poems; As both rhythmic poems, the "degree of freedom" in the creation of five-character rhythmic poems is slightly greater than that of seven-character rhythmic poems.
Du Fu is proficient in various poetic styles and has made extraordinary achievements in quatrains, metrical poems and ancient poems. He has made outstanding contributions to the creation and development of "May 7th Ancient" and "May 7th Fa" poems. Gordon, a poem written by Du Fu in his later years, was highly praised by later generations because of its superb level of "refining words" and "antithesis", emotional blending of scenes, the use of overlapping words, traceless exaggeration and strong personal feelings.
Yang Lun, a poet in Qing Dynasty, called it "the first of Du Ji's seven-character poems", while Hu Yinglin, a poetry critic in Ming Dynasty, thought it was "the best of seven-character poems in ancient and modern times".
Gordon was written in the second year of Dali (AD 767), when Du Fu lived on the banks of the Yangtze River. At that time, Du Fu boarded the high platform and heard the wind whistling and the apes howling. Look at the scene of falling leaves and no return to the river; Thinking that I was poor, sick and lonely, I couldn't help writing this famous poem.
