Meaning: I only see butterflies flying around in the depths of the flowers, dragonflies flying slowly on the water, flapping the water from time to time.
From: Two Poems of Qujiang in Tang Dynasty: Du Fu
Excerpt:
Go back to spring clothes every day and go home drunk every day.
Alcohol debt is common, and he is 70 years old.
Pierce the butterfly deeply, and the dragonfly flies leisurely with the water.
The scenery of the message is flowing, which is not contrary to the temporary reward.
Translation:
Every day when I come back from North Korea, I have to dress up to sell wine. I often go to Qujiang to drink and get drunk. It's a common thing to owe money for alcohol everywhere. People can live to 70 years old, which is rare in ancient times. I only see butterflies flying around in the depths of the flowers, dragonflies flying slowly on the water, and flapping the water from time to time. I want to send this message to the world, hoping that people can enjoy such beautiful spring scenery. Although it is a temporary reward, don't break it!
The poem Yan Xi was written in 758 AD (the first year of Gan Yuan). At that time, although the capital had been recovered, the war continued. Seeing the troubles caused by political corruption in the Tang Dynasty, the author was puzzled. It is late spring to visit Qujiang, and the poet mourns the time by writing about the desolation and ruin of Qujiang scenery.
The overall characteristics of poetry, in terms of China's traditional aesthetics, are "implication" and "verve". The so-called "implication" and the so-called "charm" mean leaving room. Lyricism and scenery description are the most typical and distinctive things, which allow readers to enjoy the unexpressed feelings and imagine the unwritten scenery through the expressed feelings and written scenery.
In his works, the author did not directly explain how and why he was frustrated, but expressed his cherish and nostalgia for spring by describing the scene of late spring, and expressed his cherish and nostalgia for spring by eating wine and enjoying flowers, eating, drinking, and enjoying life in time. The lyric hero in the poem witnessed and felt the whole process of spring from prosperity to decline, and then implied intention and delicious taste, which truly embodied the artistic characteristics of "the residual image of God is outside".
