Full Moon is a poem with high reciting rate in China's ancient poems. In about the 28th year of Kaiyuan (740), Du Fu was twenty-nine years old and went to Yanzhou to visit his father. Then he went from Qi to Lu and wrote this poem via Mount Tai. This is one of the few early works of the poet. When people read this poem, in addition to feeling the majesty of Mount Tai, they are more likely to be infected and excited by the idea of "reaching the peak, the other mountains all appear dwarfs under the sky.", because it is not only a summary of the spirit of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, but also leaves people with profound enlightenment.
First, the overall grasp
This poem is an early work of Du Fu. In the 24th year of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty (736), the young poet left Chang 'an to visit relatives in Yanzhou (now Shandong Province)-his father Du Xian was Sima of Yanzhou at that time. After about three or four years, he has been roaming around Shandong and Hebei and made many friends. This poem was written in this period. This poem enthusiastically praised the majestic momentum and magical and beautiful scenery of Mount Tai, and also revealed the poet's great ambition in his early years. It has always been regarded as a famous work of singing Mount Tai.
The whole poem can be divided into two layers, both of which are engraved with the word "Wang".
The first two couplets are on the first floor, focusing on the overall image of Mount Tai. "How magnificent Mount Tai is! ? Endless green spans Qilu and Qilu. He wrote down what he saw from a distance. Mount Tai was located between Qi and Lu in ancient times, with Qi in the north and Lu in the south. The "green" of Qilu is the result of the shadow of Mount Tai. " "Unfinished" means endless meaning. Here, what the poet wants to say is, do you want to know what Mount Tai looks like? Look, its green mountains cover the vast Qilu Plain. This is to use Qilu land and Qilu land to contrast the image of Mount Tai, which rises from the ground and stands tall. "The creator has endowed all the mysterious nature here with elegance, and? The day immediately enters dawn and dusk. ",this is close to see. The last sentence uses a virtual pen to write the beauty of Mount Tai. Why use a virtual pen? Because the beauty of Mount Tai is really a long story, it is better to write that the creator has a special liking for Mount Tai, which is a strong feeling of the poet and a reflection of the beauty of Mount Tai in the poet's heart. The next sentence is about the height of Mount Tai, which is a real text. " "Yin and Yang" refers to the north and south sides of the mountain. Shannan gets sunshine first, so it is easy to know; There is no sunshine in the north of the mountain, and it is still sleepy at dawn. The word "cut" is exquisite and refined. Looking from the north of the mountain, the sunlight shining on the earth seems to be cut off by a huge knife, highlighting the image of Mount Tai covering the sun.
The last two couplets are the second largest, and they also describe the scenery of Mount Tai, but they focus on the poet's feelings. "Ceng Yun, birds are flying back and forth in front of my nervous eyes." It is a real scene, but take a closer look at what you see. Mount Tai is so high that you can see clouds on the mountainside during the day. Deep, at dusk, you can see the homing birds gradually disappearing into the valley. The poet grasped the details of these two scenes to express his emotional excitement and broaden his horizons, and then naturally wrote down his heart: "Once you climb to the top of the mountain, you will see that other mountains look short under the sky." This is Confucius' famous saying: "Climbing Mount Tai is a small world". But it has profound meaning when used here: it is not only a poet's oath to climb the top of Mount Tai, but also a poet's oath to climb the peak of life. In his early years, the poet "stole rice and made a pact" ("Chanting 500 words from Beijing to Fengxian") often took it as his responsibility to "be Yao and Shun to the monarch and then make the customs pure" ("Give Wei Zuocheng Twenty-two Rhymes"). Without such feelings, he could not write such touching poems.
Although this poem consists of eight poems, four in quadruplicate and two antithetical sentences in the middle, it is not a metrical poem, but an ancient poem. It doesn't pay attention to flat and rhyming, but is based on flat and rhyming.
Second, the problem research
Wang Yue's Artistic Features
Du Fu has been to the top of Mount Tai, but he didn't write a poem about it. This is what he mentioned in the poem "Going to the Foot of the Backyard Thirty Years Later": "I traveled in Shandong and recalled playing in Yueyang. In the poor autumn, I look at the sun, and I look at the eight shortages. " "Sun View", that is, the peak view of the sun, is located in the southeast of Mount Tai, which is the best place for tourists to watch the sunrise. With Du Fu's talent, it is not difficult to write more songs, but why didn't he write them? We might as well do some speculation-from the perspective of future generations, this is probably because the poem "Looking at the Moon" has already written the shape and spirit of Mount Tai, fully demonstrating the poet's talent, and it really doesn't need to be written again. Reading this poem, we feel the sublime, profound and magical beauty of Mount Tai, and at the same time, we seem to see the poet's unique and independent image. In particular, reading his last couplets makes people think, as if they were wandering on the top of Mount Tai with poets, and further felt the spirit of Mount Tai overlooking the mountains and their ambition to help the world in their youth, just like watching a fire. Because of its profound artistic conception, this poem has always been regarded as the swan song of singing Mount Tai.
