Spring Hope is a five-character poem written by Du Fu, a poet in the Tang Dynasty. It is a well-known sentence in Tang poetry. The hope of spring, what spring wants to see.
The first couplet, "Although the country is broken, the mountains and rivers last forever, and the vegetation is green in spring", begins with what I saw in spring: the capital city fell and the city was ruined. Although the mountains and rivers remain the same, there are grasses and trees everywhere. A word "broken" is shocking, and another word "deep" is sad. The two diametrically opposite images of "national destruction" and "urban spring" coexist, forming a strong contrast.
"City Spring" refers to the season of lush flowers and trees and bright smoke in spring. However, the glory of spring has been lost because of the "national ruin", national decline and the fall of the capital. The word "deeply planted" has a profound meaning, which means that Chang 'an City is not neat and orderly, but barren and dilapidated, sparsely populated and mixed with vegetation.
The artistic features of this poem are as follows:
Scenery blending: the first four sentences focus on painting scenery (mountains, rivers, plants, flowers and birds), but there are feelings in the scenery (broken, deep, tears, shock), and the scenery is intentional (feeling the time and hating parting). The last four sentences focus on lyricism, which means lyricism by borrowing things (breaking the letter from home and scratching the "white head"), and there are scenes in love.
Deep artistic conception: "the country is broken" but "the mountains and rivers are there" and "the city is spring" but "the vegetation is deep"; Flowers and birds are entertaining things, but they are "tear-jerking" and "shocking" The sharp contrast of meaning and the gradual reversal of language situation make the poet Apollo's frustration and anxiety expressed artistically.
