Du Fu's Selected Poems in Yueyang Tower Du Fu Series: Selected Poems of Du Fu | Selected Poems of Du Fu in Yueyang Tower

Originally, I have been hearing about Dongting Lake 1, and now I have finally climbed to this tower. I floated at night with the Dongwu monarch, Nanchu No.2 and Gankun No.3. But there is no news from my relatives and friends. I am old and sick, and I am alone with my boat. Ma Rong 6 Guanshan North, how can I not cry because of the railing here? 7.

Note 1 Dongting water: Dongting Lake. 2. Split. 3 gan Kun: refers to the sun and the moon. 4 characters: refers to letters. 5 Old illness: Du Fu is 57 years old and ill. There is a solitary boat: it means drifting on the water, and only the boat is home. 6 military: refers to war. 7 Pingxuan: Leaning against the railing upstairs. Cry: Tears are called tears, and snot is called tears.

I have heard of the reputation of Dongting Lake before, and now I have finally boarded Yueyang Tower. The vast Dongting Lake divides Wu Chu, and the sun, moon and stars seem to float on the lake as a whole. At this time, there is no news from relatives and friends, only I am old and sick, and I am still drifting around by boat. Looking at the Guanshan Mountain in Wan Li, the world is still fighting. I leaned against the railing and looked north at Chang 'an, and I couldn't help crying.

In 768, Du Fu came from Kuizhou to Yuezhou (now Hunan) and boarded the Yueyang Tower, which he had been longing for for for for a long time. The poet looked at the foggy Dongting Lake in front of him and wrote this famous sentence with rich meaning. The first couplet revolves around the words "past" and "present", which is magnificent. Du Fu made up his mind to travel around famous mountains and rivers when he was young. He has traveled to Wu, Yue, Qi and Zhao. The poet has long admired Yueyang Tower, a world-famous building. However, the world is in chaos and I am drifting. Today, I got what I wanted. Therefore, through the strong contrast between "the past" and "the present", the poet not only expressed the joy of climbing Yueyang Tower for the first time, but also vaguely expressed the meaning of hard work. Zhuanlian depicts the vast and spectacular scene of Dongting Lake. The vast Dongting Lake is separated by Wu Chu, and the sun, moon and stars float on the lake. In just a few words, the vast water potential of Dongting Lake is vividly described. The Neck Couplet wrote about the poet's embarrassing living condition: old and sick, far away from relatives and friends, wandering around with a boat as a companion, vaguely sighing about his talent. William wrote about the turbulent situation in the country and expressed his sorrow that there was no way to serve the country. Although Du Fu failed to realize his long-cherished wish of serving the country all his life, he never gave up his ambition of "serving the king of Yao and Shun and then making the customs pure". Therefore, he learned that there were still frequent wars north of Guanshan, and he was heartbroken and burst into tears. In the last two sentences, the poet closely linked his own destiny with the destiny of the country, with a tragic tone and far-reaching artistic conception, which reflected the poet's noble personality.
