Trees and grass turn green again in spring.
Where petals flow like tears.
Lonely birds sang their sorrows.
After three months of fighting.
A letter from home is worth a ton of gold.
I stroke my white hair. It's too thin (north)
Can't hold the hairpin anymore.
translate
When the country fell, only the mountains and rivers remained the same, and the urban areas were overgrown with weeds in spring.
I am worried and sad, but I will cry when I see the flowers bloom. It pains me to leave my family.
The war has not stopped in March, and the letters from home are precious and can be worth thousands of dollars.
I only scratch my head when I am depressed and upset, so that my white hair is sparse and I can't insert it.
Poetry appreciation:
Spring Hope is a five-character poem written by Du Fu, a poet in the Tang Dynasty.
The first four sentences of this poem describe the miserable and dilapidated scene of Chang 'an in spring, with ups and downs; In the last four sentences, the poet's feelings of caring for relatives and state affairs are full of bitterness and indignation. This poem is well-proportioned, with "where the petals have spilled like tears" as the first couplet to lament the defeat of the country, "and the lonely bird has mourned" as the first couplet to worry about homesickness, while the last couplet emphasizes that the worry is deep and white, and the confrontation is delicate and the voice is tragic, which shows the poet's patriotic feelings.
Brief introduction of the author
Du Fu (A.D. 7 12- A.D. 770), with beautiful words, called himself a young man with a young age. Han nationality, originally from Xiangyang, is from Gongxian County, Henan Province (now Gongyi, Henan Province). A great realistic poet in Tang Dynasty, together with Li Bai, was called "Du Li". 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 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 his life and managed state affairs. 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.
