Jiangcun village
The clear river winds around the village, and everything in the village looks elegant in the long summer.
Since I left, I have come to Liang, and I am very close to seagulls in the water.
The old lady is using a chessboard, and the younger son is making a hook with an injection.
However, an old friend provides rice, what else can I ask for?
Poetry translation:
The clear river winds through the village, and everything in the village looks elegant in the long summer. Swallows on the beam fly freely, and Bai Ou in the water approaches each other and accompanies each other. The old lady is drawing a chessboard with paper, and the younger son is tapping a needle to make a fish hook. What can I expect as long as an old friend gives me some money and food?
Creative background:
In the summer of the first year of Shangyuan in Tang Suzong (760), the poet Du Fu, with the support of his friends, built a thatched cottage next to Huanhuaxi, a suburb of Chengdu, Sichuan. Suffering from the war, his life was temporarily calm, and his wife and children reunited and regained their family happiness. This poem was written in this period.
Jiangcun is a seven-meter poem written by Du Fu, a poet in the Tang Dynasty. This poem was written in the summer of 760, the first year of Shangyuan in Tang Suzong. At that time, the author's Chengdu Caotang had just been built, so the author made this poem to express his feelings and showed a carefree mood. The first pair of couplets describes the environment, and the word "hug" is used skillfully, vividly describing the modality of the stream closely surrounding Jiangcun. Zhuan Xu wrote about the seclusion of the scenery: Swallows come and go, seagulls depend on each other, and the tranquility of the scenery in Jiangcun is vividly on the paper. Neck couplets write about personnel seclusion: the old wife draws a chessboard and the young son bends a needle to make a fish hook, each of which has its own fun, which leads to the state of mind that the tail couplets have nothing to ask for. The whole poem is rigorous in structure and fluent in language, which is quite interesting in life.
Du Fu (7 12-770) was born in Xiangyang, Han nationality, and then moved to Gongxian County, Henan Province. A great realistic poet in the Tang Dynasty, who claimed to be a young man at night, was called "Du Li" together with Li Bai. In order to distinguish Li Shangyin, Du Mu and Xiao Du Li, Du Fu and Li Bai are also called Da Du Li, and Du Fu is often called Lao Du.
Du Fu's influence on China's classical poetry is far-reaching, and he is called "the sage of poetry" by later generations, and his poems are called "the history of poetry". Later generations called him Du Shiyi and Du Gongbu, and also called him Du Shaoling and Du Caotang.
Du Fu wrote such famous works as Spring Hope, Northern Expedition, Three Officials and Three Farewells. In the second year of Gan Yuan (759), Du Fu abandoned his official position and went to Sichuan. Although he fled the war and lived a relatively stable life, he still cared about the whole life and the affairs of the country. Although Du Fu is a realistic poet, he also has a wild and unruly side. It is not difficult to see Du Fu's heroism and dry clouds from his masterpiece Song of Drinking Eight Immortals.
The core of Du Fu's thought is the Confucian thought of benevolent government, and he has the great wish of "making the monarch Yao and Shun superior, and then making the customs pure". Although Du Fu was not famous during his lifetime, his fame spread far and wide, which had a far-reaching impact on China literature and Japanese literature. About 65,438+0,500 poems of Du Fu have been preserved, most of which are collected by Du Gongbu.
