The Original Text and Appreciation of Du Mu's Two Runzhou Poems (Ⅰ)

Du Mu

In the past few years, I have traveled all the way to the east of Wu Ting, singing and traveling.

There is no clue to Qingtai Temple, and there are many restaurants by the Green Water Bridge.

Generally, the Southern Dynasties were broad-minded, and the poor Eastern Jin Dynasty was the most romantic.

Yue Ming wants to wash clothes here, and when he hears it, he blows out his worries.

This poem was written by Du Mu when he revisited Runzhou. Runzhou was an important town in the south of the Yangtze River during the Six Dynasties, which ruled Dantu (now Zhenjiang, Jiangsu).

The first couplet starts from the pavilion and points out the place and season. "Xiangwu Pavilion" is in the south of Danyang City. The poet once again boarded the pavilion, commanding and looking eastward: the vast land of Runzhou presents bleak autumn colors. Declining grass and sparse trees, cold wind and clear scenery reminded him of his melancholy. Looking back on the past, when I went to visit, I was singing loudly and full of ambition, as I am now. Du Mu is outspoken and conceited, and is often depressed because he is demoted to a lower position. Climbing high in autumn and revisiting the old place have lost the joy of that year; Recalling the past can only deepen the contradiction of thoughts. The first sentence and the second sentence, one after the other, are in sharp contrast.

As soon as the couplet was turned, he finished writing and stepped out of the pavilion, and then came to the bridge from the temple. The third sentence is to visit the temple. The temple is covered with moss and there are few traces of people. It seems to be an isolated place. According to the meaning, this sentence should be "there is no moss mark in the temple". Putting the word "moss" at the beginning of the sentence is the need of leveling, and it also emphasizes the seclusion of the temple. The fourth sentence is restaurant. Runzhou has developed land and water transportation and prosperous business, and there are many restaurants at Qiaokou. Green water, small bridges, temples and restaurants have both quiet and lively places. The poet outlined the characteristics of towns in the south of the Yangtze River.

Necklace couplets turn from scenery description to comments on the fashion of the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Southern Dynasties, which also reflects the poet's own ideological tendency. Literally, the intertextuality between the two sentences focuses on the Eastern Jin Dynasty. The Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Southern Dynasties were south of the Yangtze River. At that time, Buddhism and Taoism prevailed, and literati advocated speaking freely, drinking, behaving informally and being broad-minded in words and deeds. Du Mu, who lives in the south of the Yangtze River, affirmed the "broad-mindedness" and "romantic" of Jiangnan literati, but he did not intend to follow suit: they had different temperaments and lived in different times.

Tail couplet is an ancient lyric. The poet climbed Wu Ting and toured everywhere. His heart is full of ups and downs, and he is full of emotions. The word "moonlight" points out the passage and change of time, creating a distant and quiet atmosphere for smelling flute and reminiscing about the past. If you write about hearing the flute first, and then think about washing clothes, it will be dull. If you write "I miss Huan Yi" first, and then explain the reasons, it will highlight Huan Yi and strengthen the appeal of poetry. "Huanyi" is a history of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and is good at playing flute. At that time, it was called "the first in Jiangzuo". He once participated in the battle of Feishui, which decided the survival of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and defeated the Southern Army built in the previous dynasty. "Out of the Great Wall", the title of the song blows across the Han Dynasty, and the tune is sad. Such as "dismount and play the flute, worrying about killing travelers." ("Liang Hengchui's lyrics fold Yang Liuzhi's songs") "Qiangdi is full of throat, and Hu Jia is mixed with water." (Zhang's "Dragon Head Water") The lyrics of cross-blowing songs mostly write about fighting and frontier fortress work, such as "The Central Plains is still fighting for deer, but writing things." Generosity remains the same without vertical and horizontal planning. "(Wei Zhi's" Going Out ")" I would rather know that the class is far away, and I am a scholar alone. " (Chen Ziang's River Embankment) From this, it is not difficult to see the poet's intentions. The poet "misses Huan Yi" and wants to do something similar to Huan Yi, but he is too talented to be rewarded. In the late Tang Dynasty, the separatist regime in the buffer region became more and more fierce. Du Mu once wrote "Sin Yan" and advocated the elimination of separatist forces. Therefore, the last word "sorrow" is not only the sorrow of the tune, but also the sorrow of the poet; Not only personal troubles, but also the troubles of the times.

These seven laws are written about what you see, hear and think in a day. Scenery, lyricism and discussion intersect with each other, and the word "worry" is interlocking and deepened in twists and turns. The style of writing is ups and downs, dense and profound, which embodies the characteristics of Du Mu's poems.
