In the Ming Dynasty, Hu Zhenheng once commented on Du Fu's "Three Poems of Qiang Village": "Entering poetry with current events began in Du Shaoling."
The writing background of these three poems is that after Du Fu was trapped in Chang 'an occupied by rebels, he risked his life to escape from Chang 'an and rushed to the court to sit in Fengxiang to remonstrate with the ministers. Tang Suzong was offended by Chen Tao's crooked excuses, so Su Zong began to alienate him politically and let him go back to his hometown to visit relatives. After being frustrated politically, Du Fu rushed back to Qiang village to visit relatives with his family missing. These three poems are some fragments of his life during his visit to relatives.
The first poem describes the situation of falling in love with family at first sight after returning from the war, showing such a process: shock-wiping tears-sighing-holding a candle, and the psychological description in troubled times is amazing; The second song, the poet's depression after settling down, expresses the author's mentality of being in troubled times and wanting to serve the country rather than drag out an ignoble existence; The third song describes the scene of neighbors' deep sympathy and the poet's gratitude.
Describe three life scenes when going home to visit relatives, and show the turbulent social reality at that time and the poet's feelings of worrying about the country and the people. 1. Go home for reunion-the rest of my life after the war, with mixed surprises; 2. Idle life-bored and depressed, unwilling to live; Neighborhood condolences-I am deeply touched by the difficult times. Three short poems are combined into a group of poems, each with its own emphasis, which are independent, echoing and interrelated. The language is plain but full of emotion, and the description is extensive but profound, which can be described as "thrilling, in a word."
The whole poem is lyrical with narrative lines and concise language. The poet grasps typical life scenes to convey the psychological activities of husband and wife when they get together. In the objective and true narrative, there are strong subjective lyric factors, and the two are integrated to achieve a harmonious realm. No wonder King Jiajing, a gifted scholar, commented in Du Zhu: "Every word is carved with lungs and intestines, and people are at a loss. And witty, at present, if ordinary people want to do anything, they will do it. "
This poem combines narrative, lyricism and scenery writing in a highly generalized way; Rigorous structure and concise language; The contrast between the past and the present reflects the poet's "depressed and frustrated" style; At the same time, the whole poem shows the poet's feelings of worrying about the country and the people everywhere.
Therefore, this poem is of epic significance.
