Du Fu's life can be roughly divided into reading roaming period, being trapped in Chang 'an period, being trapped as an official period and roaming period in Southwest China. What can run through his life is the yearning for poetry and the pursuit of achievement. Unlike Li Bai, Du Fu is not so free and easy and arrogant, but more persistent and strong. In his heart, he is always full of enthusiasm and pain. He deposited endless enthusiasm and pain in his heart, just like a silkworm spinning silk. Painted so many rich, magnificent, gloomy and desolate feelings, painted his deep and tenacious pursuit, painted his helpless wandering and endless hope, and painted it to make future generations sigh and meditate, as always, deposited in the depths of history.
Du Fu's poems are called "Poetic Sage" and "Poetic History" because Du Fu truly reflected the historical situation of that era with his Confucian feelings of caring for the country and the people. The appearance of Du Fu's poems is the inheritance of China's poems. & lt& lt Chu Ci >> Tao Yuanming once again has an important connection with the core values of China culture. If we look at it from the perspective of Confucian culture, we will feel its heavy and clumsy sense of hardship, as well as its distinctive and concrete "poetic sage" personality:
..... The silks divided by the Tang court all originated from the cold women. They left their in-laws and gathered in Gongcheng Que. The sage basket is very generous. He really wants to live in the country. If the minister is unreasonable, will you abandon this thing? Toast the court, and the benevolent will tremble. This situation can be heard in Huo Wei's room. Nave dancing fairy, smoke ethereal jade. The mink coat is very warm. & lt From Beijing to Fengxian, recite 500 words >>)
With anger and passion, the poet condemned the profligacy of the imperial dignitaries. In particular, the word "Zhumen" tore open the veil of the prosperous Tang Dynasty with the pen of resistance to the tripod, and concentrated on revealing the strong contrast between the rulers and the extravagant wind. This kind of thought and emotion runs through Du Fu's whole poetry creation, which truly and profoundly reflects the historical situation at that time and is called "the history of poetry".
"Three Officials" and "Three Farewells" describe the tyranny of conscription, which is fiercer than the tiger; Moreover, < < military vehicle store > > reveals that the militaristic war of "Huang Wu's territorial expansion" has brought more disasters to people and society than war. After Tianbao, the wars against the border ethnic minorities in the Tang Dynasty became more and more frequent, and successive years of conquest brought great disasters to the border ethnic minorities and the people of the Central Plains. Poetry seems plausible, but it contains the agitation of singing Long song and crying, and its indignation, anxiety, resistance and persistence naturally overflow. It is "a great conclusion" that "it begins with the emperor and ends with the emperor". Focusing on the emperor and the country, the whole poem pointedly points out that Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty, who had been peaceful for 50 years, was only slightly better than the king of subjugation in Shang and Zhou Dynasties.
Deep concern for the people and criticism of cruel politics are the essence of Confucianism. Because this basic idea is deeply deposited in Du Fu's poems, his poems are deeply rooted in the depths of national culture and have lasting charm.
Confucian culture attaches great importance to interpersonal relationships. In this respect, Du Fu showed deep affection for his wife. In his poems, he misses his wife, such as "Her jade shoulders are cold on the moon, when can we lie on our screen again and watch the bright light stop crying?" ; Memories of happy life with his wife and children include "the old wife draws paper as chess, and the young son knocks the needle as a hook"; Expressing concern for his wife and children, there are "his wife sent to a different county, drifting through the snow"; Thanks to his wife, there are "chaos in the world, small canals, poor families and respect for their mothers."
If we have deep taste, we will truly appreciate the profound taste of "benevolence" in Du Fu's poems, such as>:
What a magnificent scenery Mount Tai is! Endless green spans Qilu and Qilu. The creator has endowed all the mysterious nature here with elegance, and? The day immediately enters dawn and dusk. ..
Caiyun lave? My mind is free and easy, and birds fly back and forth in front of my nervous eyes. Once you climb to the top of the mountain, you will see that all the other mountains look short under the sky. ..
What is Mount Tai, the head of the Five Mountains? Ah, it turns out that she rose from the ground in Qilu's lush and boundless land. Mount Tai, which symbolizes benevolence, can only be bred and grown in this kind Qilu Plain. How did Mount Tai, which divides Yin and Yang, fatuous, benevolent and inhuman, come into being? It turned out to be love for nature, "God has no relatives, supplemented by virtue", and nature only loves those benevolent people. What's it like to climb Mount Tai? The rippling clouds on my chest seem to make people soar in the air, but my feet are on the solid Mount Tai. This is also the feeling of persistence and transcendence. Coupled with the homing birds, it seems that they have entered my eyes and mind, and everything in the world has been absorbed into my mind. When people reach the peak, they really realize the feeling of "climbing Mount Tai and being small in the world" as Confucius said, and then they gain a transcendental personality and can freely overlook everything. Du Fu regards poetry as the externalization of his Confucian personality, and his poems are closely related to the internal spirit and aesthetic pursuit of Confucian culture.
