Appreciate:
This five-character quatrain is bright and beautiful in artistic conception and fresh in style. The whole poem is neat, but natural and smooth, without carving; Describing the beautiful scenery without trace is a unique chapter in Du Fu's collection.
The second poem expresses the feeling of being stranded in a foreign land. "The birds in the river are white, and the mountains are blue and white." This is a landscape painting embedded in a frame. The paper is full of ink, and the painting is colorful and has a fascinating charm. The rippling river shows the beautiful scenery of white water birds skimming the river. All over the mountains and plains are green, blooming everywhere and extremely red. It is like a burning flame, very charming and brilliant.
White bird feathers are lined with river walls, and blue and white set each other off; Green hills are lined with red flowers, and green and red compete. The word "Guo" makes the waterfowl whiter and whiter with the blue sediment of the river, and writes deeply and picturesque; And a word "desire" endows the flower with anthropomorphic dynamics and swaying. There are four poetic images of rivers, mountains, flowers and birds, which are depicted in four colors: green, green, red and white. The scene is fresh and pleasing to the eye. However, the poet's will is not here, and then, the pen road turns sharply and laments. "I saw it again this spring. When is the year of return? " The word "read through" in the sentence refers directly to the season of writing poetry. The scenery in late spring and early summer is not beautiful, but it is a pity that the years have passed and the return date is far away, which not only does not arouse the interest of playing, but evokes the sadness of wandering. The artistic feature of this poem is to write sadness with joy. Only by saying that spring is harmonious can we compare the poet's eagerness to return home. It does not reveal homesickness directly from the scenery, but compares the poet's deep homesickness with the difference between objective scenery and subjective feelings.
