The water waves in the river, the white feathers of waterfowl, the green and red flowers on the mountain are in contrast, and you want to burn.
I watched it again this spring. When is the year of return?
translate
The green river makes Wuer's feathers whiter, the mountains are green and the red wildflowers seem to be burning.
This spring is coming to an end. When shall I go back to my hometown?
This is a lyric poem written by Du Fu when he was living in Sichuan. The poet painted a beautiful spring scene for us, but also expressed his heavy homesickness.
The first two sentences describe scenery, and the first sentence describes rivers and waterfowl. The river is green, which sets off Wu's white feathers, and the word "Guo" sets off its color. The second clause is about mountains and flowers, with the word "desire". Anthropomorphic to highlight its posture, the river, bird, mountain and flower are painted with a layer of green, green, white and crimson oil paint. The scenery is fresh, refreshing and dynamic.
The last two sentences are lyrical, and the third clause says that although spring scenery is good, it has flown in a hurry and touched the scene. And it took a lot of effort to tick off the fourth sentence, "When is the year of return?" The people who have not returned in spring are deeply sad and sorrowful, and a surge comes from the depths of their souls. What I have said is endless and memorable.
The artistic achievement of this poem is, first of all, the blending of scenes. Among them, the first and second sentences describe the scenery, the third and fourth sentences are lyrical, and the scenery is full of emotion and profound feelings. The second is to send homesickness by narrative. In the warm colors of spring, the poet's homesickness was revealed when he could have been delighted by things. The writing is profound and unique.
