quatrains describe spring. The quatrains here should be understood to refer to Du Fu's Two quatrains, which are about the scenery of spring from the scene depicted in the poem. This poem was written by Du Fu in Chengdu Caotang. Facing the vibrant scenery in spring, he felt happy and wrote. This poem not only depicts the bright and beautiful scenery in early spring, but also hides his feelings.
Original text: Two birds sing green willows, and a row of egrets go up to the sky. Snowflakes contain Xiling, and ships from Dongwu and Wan Li are moored at the gate. It can be seen from the word "Cuiliu" in the first couplet of ancient poetry "Two orioles singing Cuiliu" that it is spring. The antithesis of the whole poem is very neat and natural. On the surface, it is beautiful in spring, but in fact it contains the poet's noble interest and interest at present.
what exactly is a quatrain?
First, quatrains are not only poems written by Du Fu, but also a traditional poetic genre, which can be divided into five-character, six-character and seven-character quatrains according to their formal characteristics. This kind of poetry pays special attention to the level tone and rhyme, and it can be sung, especially in the Tang Dynasty. In this way, it is natural to mention quatrains and think of poems written by Du Fu.
Second, the poetic form of quatrains generally expresses the author's inner feelings with scenery and objects, and the poet usually wants to express his feelings in the scenery. In ancient China, there were many poems written in quatrains, not all of which described the spring scenery, and what scenery to write also depended on whether what the author saw at the moment made the author want to express his feelings.
