Du Fu, a great poet in the Tang Dynasty, wrote a seven-melody poem after the completion of Chengdu Caotang. The first two sentences of this poem describe the scenery of the residence, which is beautiful and sparse, interacting with the gulls in the mountains and rivers, showing an isolated state of mind; The last six sentences are about the joy and sincere hospitality of the guests, calling on the neighbors to drink.
The whole poem reveals the poet's sincere and indifferent feelings and hospitable mood, which is naturally muddy. It depicts interesting life scenes such as scenery, common sayings and human feelings in life in a delicate and realistic way, showing a strong flavor of life and human feelings.
Extended data
The first couplet begins with the outdoor scenery, pointing out the time and place of the guest's visit and the author's mood on the eve of the visit. "I'm in the north, I'm in the south, and spring water is flooding" makes the environment with green water rippling here very beautiful and lovely. This is the thatched cottage by the river in Chengdu. The word "Du" means that the spring river is full of water, giving people the feeling that the river waves are boundless and boundless. Flocks of seagulls are often companions of hermits by the water.
Their arrival "day after day" points out the tranquility of the environment and adds a secluded color to the author's life. "But see" implies that the flock is lovely, but seeing other tourists is too monotonous! In this way, the author is immersed in the scenery, showing his loneliness in the leisurely Jiangcun village. This skillfully paved the way for the joyful mood of the whole poem.
The leader turned his brush strokes to the courtyard, which led to the "arrival of guests". The author adopts the tone of talking with the guests, which enhances the real sense of life of the guests and the host. The last sentence is that the garden path full of flowers and plants has not been cleaned to welcome guests. The next sentence says that the door that has been closed has only been opened for you for the first time today.
Lonely, the guests come, and the host who has always been leisurely and quiet can't help but be overjoyed. These two sentences, set off before and after, have deep feelings. Not only do lobbyists not come often, but the host will not easily delay the guests' intentions. Today, "Mr." is here, which is conducive to seeing the deep friendship between the two people and making the happiness behind them settle down. The meaning of the former sentence is more detached from the meaning of the latter sentence "starting today", which complements the former two sentences.
The above is a virtual description of the guests, and the following is a real description of the guests. The author abandoned other plots and chose the life scene that can best express the affection between the guest and the host, and painted it with deep colors and intentions. "Panxi city is far away from the city, and the drinkers are poor and old," as if seeing the author welcoming guests to dinner and frequently persuading him to drink.
I heard the author's apology for the lack of food and wine: it's really inconvenient to buy things far from the market. The food is very simple, you can't afford noble wine, you can only use old wine brewed by yourself. Help yourself! Household words sound very kind, from which it is easy to feel the host's sincere hospitality and attitude of not being able to "apologize" and the deep friendship between host and guest. Between the lines, there is an atmosphere of harmonious co-governance.
The feeling of being a guest seems to have been written enough here. If you describe the happy scene from the front, it is obviously tasteless. However, the poet skillfully ended with "should we call my old neighbor to join us and call all the cups through the fence", which pushed the atmosphere of the dinner to a more enthusiastic climax.
The poet shouted and asked the man next to him to have a drink. This detail description is delicate and realistic. It is conceivable that the more two girlfriends drink, the stronger their interest, the more excited and cheerful they are, and the atmosphere is quite warm. As far as writing is concerned, the last two sentences are full of twists and turns.
