Han Yu was born in an official family, and his ancestors were both DPRK officials or local officials. Han Yu's father, Han Zhongqing, an official secretary, died young when Han Yu was three years old, leaving Han Yu alone and being raised by his brother Han Hui. Han Yu was sensible since childhood and worked hard. He can talk at the age of seven and write elegant articles at the age of thirteen.
Before Han Yu became an adult, his brother died, and Han Yu and his widowed sister-in-law Zheng fled their hometown to escape the war in Xuancheng. 19 years old and settled in Chang 'an, the capital of Beijing. Han Yu's style of writing was influenced by everyone and gradually became the mainstream. Literati in the Tang Dynasty advocated ancient customs and imitated the writing styles of Yang Xiong, Dong Zhongshu and others. Loneliness and Liang Shuming's articles are famous for their profound meanings and are highly praised by the world. Han associates with Loneliness and Liang Su, carefully studies his writing style and learns the ideas in the article, hoping that he can break through the influence of the article and make his mark among this generation of literati.
Han Yu is known as one of the "Eight Sages of Ancient Guangdong" in Tongzhi of Old Guangdong. His prose writing theories, such as "the unity of literature and Taoism", "vigorous words and appropriate expressions", "doing good deeds" and "acting according to words", have important guiding significance for future generations. His representative works include 40 volumes of Collected Works of Han Changli, Waiji 10, Shi Shuo and so on.
Han Yu's poems
Han Yu, who has the reputation of "the decline of literature in the eight dynasties", inherited the prose tradition of the pre-Qin and Han dynasties and opposed the trend of courtship since the Six Dynasties. Han Yu's articles are magnificent, well-organized and logical, and are known as the first of the "Eight Masters in Tang and Song Dynasties".

The ancient prose movement advocated by Han Yu and Liu Zongyuan opened the way for the development of ancient prose since the Tang Dynasty. Han Yu's poems strive for novelty, grandeur and originality. Taking prose as poetry has also become another highlight of Han Yu's poetry. The introduction of new ancient Chinese language, composition and techniques into the poetry world has enhanced the expressive ability of poetry, expanded the emotional field of poetry and corrected the mediocre poetic style since Dali.
Among Han Yu's many poems, long poems are mainly archaic, and their main contents are mostly masterpieces that expose realistic contradictions and express personal frustration, such as Return to Pengcheng, Dirty, and County Zhai You Huai. These articles are straightforward and mainly realistic. There are also some poems whose writing styles are quite different, mainly characterized by freshness and verve, which are similar to the poems in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, such as Late Rain and Five Poems in a Pond, among which the most famous are two poems in the early spring of eighteen people in the Ministry of Water.
Although Han Yu has made great achievements in revealing realistic contradictions and pursuing verve, the poems that really represent his poetic achievements are those that are good at heroic momentum and strange images, which may be related to Han Yu's own personality characteristics. Han Yu was born with strong and bold qualifications, and his personality was full of the pursuit of novelty, scenery and emotion, and he advocated the theory of "nourishing the mind" many times.
Han Yu in early spring
"Early Spring" is entitled "Early Spring Out of the Water Department Zhang Eighteen Members", which was written by Han Yu at the age of 56. The gentle sentences in the poem change the style of "telling the truth without fear" in Han Yu's early works, which shows that Han Yu's career prospects in middle age are good.

Early Spring is particularly prominent in Han Yu's many works. Although the wording is plain, as Han Yu said, "Qiong Qi has become plain, and his plain words are actually full of profound meaning.
"The rain in Tianjie is crisp, but the grass color is far away." The first sentence points out the light rain in early spring, and describes it as smooth and moist with "moist as crisp", which accurately captures its characteristics. The sentence is fresh and beautiful. There is also Du Fu's "Good rain knows the season, when spring comes." Sneaking into the night with the wind, moistening things silently "has the same effect." The second sentence closely follows the first sentence, which describes the scenery after the rain. From a distance, it seems to be there, but from a close look, it depicts the hazy scene of grass soaking in rain in early spring. Write down the characteristics of spring grass when it just germinates, if not, sparse and short. This sentence is a wonderful sentence in the whole article.
"The most important thing is the benefits of spring. Victory is all smoke and willow." The light rain and grass color in early spring are the most beautiful things in spring in a year, far exceeding the late spring scenery of the city of smoke and willow. Poems about spring scenery, in Tang poetry, mostly focus on beautiful late spring, but this poem focuses on early spring, thinking that early spring scenery is better than late spring and is unique. The exquisite observation of the scenery in the first two sentences is admirable, and the last two sentences are even more unexpected, such as the sudden arrival of cavalry.
Han Yu in late spring
Late Spring is a poem by Han Yu, a writer in the Tang Dynasty, and it is one of the Sixteen Poems on a Tour to the South of the City. At this time, Han Yu is nearly half a century old, and the scene of describing late spring is not a bit sad, but a colorful picture of life.

Judging from Han Yu's life, he is not only the master of "the decline of eight generations of literature", but also the pioneer of the adventure poetry school, full of courage. He can appreciate the courage of "Huayang Yuyue". Maybe it's not ironic here, but I suddenly realized something when I watched Yang Huafei dance and gave you a little humorous interest. The beauty of poetry is also here. Han Yu's meticulous body reveals secrets that others have not obtained, opposes the feelings of ordinary literati in late spring, raises the splendid situation of flowers and plants, and shows the elegance of late spring. A few strokes have shown the world a dazzling spring scenery, which is refreshing.
"The grass tree knows that spring is coming back, and all kinds of red and purple compete for Fang Fei." Love is interesting, the grass tree knows that spring will come back soon, and the flowers are blooming, showing their beauty. Using anthropomorphic techniques, flowers and people are integrated, and people's love for spring is attached to vegetation. "Huayang Yuyue has no talent and thinking, but only solves the problem of flying snow." Yang Shuhua and elm pods are unpretentious, flying like snow all over the sky. People say that vegetation is heartless, while poetry tends to say that there is knowledge, knowledge, understanding and fighting, and there is a difference between talent and thinking. Fantastic imagination is really rare in poetry. This is the interesting thing about this poem. It can be called ordinary transformation, which is quite interesting.
Chun Xue Han Yu
Chun Xue, written by Han Yu, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, is a seven-character quatrain, which comes from the whole Tang Dynasty. This poem is novel in conception and unique in association, which makes readers deeply interested.

The creation background of this poem is Yuanhe Decade. Han Yu worked as a historian in Korea and knew the status of the imperial edict. Being in the north, he missed Chun Xue's early opportunity to reach the south, so he wrote his longing for spring. Maybe it's normal for northerners to have nowhere to look for flowers during the Spring Festival, but it's really a pity for Han Yu, who has traveled in Lingnan in the spring. It's a pity to lament that the spring in the north came late and the grass buds didn't come out until February.
"There is no fragrance in the New Year, and the grass shoots in early February." The first sentence is about people's anxiety about spring in the long cold winter. A word "Du" reveals this eagerness. In the second sentence, the best thing to ponder is the word "essence". It expresses the novelty, surprise and joy when people finally see the bud of "spring scenery" in anxious expectation, which is very vivid. The poem expresses the feeling that spring has come after all, although it is late.
"Snow is too late for spring, it is a flying flower on the courtyard tree." On the surface, there is snow without flowers. In fact, it means that snow can't wait more than people, and flying flowers through trees is spring scenery. In fact, this is the spring scenery that poets expect when there is no spring scenery in nature, which is full of strong romanticism.
The drizzle and rain in early spring
"Early Spring Rain", also known as "Eighteen Members of the Early Spring Water Donation Department", was written by Han Yu. This is a seven-character quatrain that describes and praises the beauty of early spring. The first sentence points out the light rain in early spring, and describes it as smooth and moist with "moist as crisp", which accurately captures its characteristics. The sentence is fresh and beautiful. There is also Du Fu's "Good rain knows the season, when spring comes." Sneaking into the night with the wind, moistening things silently "has the same effect."

This is a seven-character quatrain that describes and praises the beauty of early spring. The first sentence describes the light rain in early spring, using "moist as crisp" to describe its smoothness and wetness, writing its characteristics very accurately, and using beautiful words and sentences. There is also Du Fu's "Good rain knows the season, when spring comes." Sneaking into the night with the wind, moistening things silently "has the same effect." The second sentence closely follows the first sentence, which describes the scenery after the rain. It's green from a distance, but it's not green from a close look. It depicts the hazy scene of grass soaking in rain in early spring. Can be compared with Wang Wei's "fog, it disappears when I enter them" and "the color of the mountain is yes and no" There are three or four sentences in the poem that greatly praise the scenery of early spring: "The most important thing is the benefits of spring, which is definitely better than tobacco willow." The light rain and grass color in early spring are the most beautiful things in spring in a year, far exceeding the late spring scenery of the city of smoke and willow.
Poems about spring scenery, in Tang poetry, mostly focus on beautiful late spring, but this poem focuses on early spring, thinking that early spring scenery is better than late spring, which is innovative. This poem praises the early spring, which can capture the soul of the early spring and give readers endless aesthetic interest, even surpassing painting. The poet has no crayons, but he paints a color that is extremely difficult to describe in poetic language-a pale color that seems to be absent. Without keen observation and superb poetry, it is impossible to refine the natural beauty of early spring into artistic beauty.
