Reason explanation:
The language of the poem "Ascending the Heights" is concise, with duality throughout, and one or two sentences are still correct, which fully shows that Du Fu's mastery and application of poetic language temperament in his later years have reached the realm of tact. Du Fu stood alone on the high platform outside Bai Di, Kuizhou. He wrote landscapes in the first half and lyricism in the second half, each with a complicated style.
Generally speaking, the whole poem gives people a bleak and desolate feeling, and melts feelings into the scenery, the sadness of personal life experience and the pain of depression and frustration into the sad autumn scenery, all of which are depressed and frustrated, and sentimental feelings gush out, which is out of control. Therefore, it is called the first of the seven laws of the ages.
Original text:
The wind is fast and high, the ape cries sadly, and the birds are circling in the white sand.
The endless trees are rustling leaves, and the Yangtze River is rolling unpredictably.
Li in the sad autumn scenery, a wanderer all the year round, lives alone on the high platform in today's illness.
After all the hardships and hatred, the white hair is full, and the wine glasses are damaged.
Translation:
The sky is high and the wind is urgent, the apes sound sad, and the gulls play and hover in the clear water.
The endless leaves are falling, and the Yangtze River is rolling in and rushing.
Lamenting the wandering outside the autumn scenery, I went on stage alone in my old age.
I deeply regret that my temples are getting grayer and grayer. It is very painful for me to give up drinking after illness.
Creation background and appreciation of works:
Creative background:
This poem was written in the autumn of the second year of Tang Daizong Dali (767), and Du Fu was in Kuizhou. This was written by a 56-year-old poet in extreme embarrassment. At that time, four years had passed since the Anshi Rebellion, but local warlords took the opportunity to compete for territory with each other. Du Fu entered the Yanwu shogunate, relying on Yanwu.
Shortly after Yanwu's death, Du Fu lost his dependence and had to leave the Chengdu Caotang, which had been in business for five or six years, to buy a boat and go south. I wanted to go straight to Kuimen, but because of illness, I stayed in Yun 'an for several months before I arrived in Kuizhou. If it were not for the concern of the local government, he would not have lived here for three years.
In these three years, his life is still very difficult and his health is very poor. One day, he climbed the high platform outside Bai Di, Kuizhou, with mixed feelings in his heart. What you saw in hope aroused your heart; The bleak scenery of Qiu Jiang evokes his wandering life experience and permeates his old illness and loneliness. Thus, there was this song "Ascending the Mountain", which was known as the "crown of seven laws".
Appreciation of works:
This poem is included in Du Gongbu's Collected Works. The whole poem tells the poet's complex feelings of long-term wandering, old illness and loneliness by climbing to see the scenery of Qiujiang River. It is impassioned and touching. All eight sentences in this poem are correct. At first glance, the beginning and the end seem to be "wrong", and the chest and abdomen seem to be "wrong".
After careful consideration, "every sentence in the article is law, and every word in the sentence is law." Not only "the whole article can be taught", but also "choose words and make sentences", "people in ancient and modern times dare not speak and will never speak" It is natural to win the reputation of "masterpiece" (see Hu Yinglin's poem).
