Literary Appreciation of Du Fu's Hope in Spring
spring scenery
Tang Dynasty: Du Fu
Chang' an fell, the country was broken, and only the mountains and rivers remained; Spring has come, and the sparsely populated Chang' an city is densely forested.
Sad state, can not help but burst into tears, amazing birds, leaving sorrow and hate.
The war lasted for more than half a year, and letters from home were rare, with a hundred thousand gold.
Twisting with melancholy, scratching my head and thinking, the more I scratch my white hair, I can hardly insert a hairpin.
Literary appreciation:
The reason why a famous book can be told through the ages is that it can highly summarize the feelings and experiences of people and future generations in the same situation. Such is the hope of spring.
National mourning is the sorrow of several generations, and mountains and rivers are eternal existence; When the broken city meets spring, the vegetation will grow as usual, and the laws of nature will not change with the changes of the times. The contrast between the current personnel and the eternal time and space makes the poet feel the inner desolation more strongly, so that all he sees are mountains and rivers, vegetation and nothing. However, although the mountains and rivers are ruthless, even if the poet has turned them into sentient beings, flowers and birds will cry from time to time because of their feelings and feel sad because of their resentment. It shows that human suffering will also disturb nature. Flowers bloom and flowers fall, birds sing and flowers smell, which is just a natural phenomenon, but the heart stunned by tears really comes from the poet. Therefore, the tears and heart-pounding of flowers and birds are only human empathy. The poet has always been praised for his novel technique of empathy with the scenery, but it is because of the profound implication of the first two sentences that he can touch people's hearts.
In spring and March, there are endless wars, so there are few letters from home, but they are valuable. In the first month of this year, Li Guangbi was at war with Shi Siming in Taiyuan, Guo Ziyi attacked Hedong, and the rebel An Shouzhong sent troops from Chang 'an to Wudu. Chang 'an and Zhangzhou are involved in the war, so it is naturally difficult to get through. This sentence is actually about my isolation from my family, but it also summarizes a common truth: the news of the safety of my loved ones in the war is more precious than anything else. Because personal feelings can be refined into human nature, these two sentences have become idioms to express people's hope for a letter from home in chaos.
In this poem, couplets are arranged in a well-organized way, with "the place where petals flow like tears" as the first couplet, and "singing with lonely birds" as the first couplet, respectively, to cope with the homesickness in the necklaces, and the last couplet emphasizes that the sorrow is deep and leads to the white. Exquisite workmanship and tragic voice naturally become the masterpiece that can best summarize the hatred between home and country.

Chang' an fell and the country was broken, leaving only mountains and rivers; Spring has come, and Chang 'an, which is sparsely populated, has dense vegetation.
Sentimental state affairs, tears can't help splashing, birds are heart-pounding, which only increases sadness but not hatred.
The continuous war has lasted for more than half a year, and there are few letters from home. A letter is worth twelve thousand gold.
Worried, scratching my head, my white hair is getting shorter and shorter, and I can't insert it.
