Zhang Jiuling
The moon, at this time is at sea, over the end of the world.
People who love hate long nights and sleepless nights and miss their loved ones.
The candle went out and the light came on. Although I put on my coat, the weather was not warm.
You can't have beautiful moonlight, just want to meet you in your dreams. Translation:
A bright moon rises on the sea, and you and I live far apart, enjoying the moon on the sea. Some lovers hate the night and miss you all night. Put out the candle, the moonlight is full of love. Put on your clothes, and the dew will wet your clothes. I can't give you the silver light in my hand. I'd better go back to bed and fall asleep. Maybe I can meet you in my dream.

Due to the severe drought and famine in Guanzhong, he gave up his post and went to Qin Zhou. Separated from my brother in the chaotic war.

About the author:
Du Fu (A.D. 7 12-770), a beautiful Han nationality, was originally from Xiangyang (now Xiangfan City, Hubei Province) and later moved to Gongxian County (now Gongxian County, Henan Province). Along with Du Gongbu and Du Fu, it is called Shaoling Night Old. He is a great realistic poet in the Tang Dynasty, a poet saint, a world cultural celebrity and a "poetic immortal" of the same age as Li Bai. Du Fu was born in Gongxian County, Henan Province (now Gongyi, Zhengzhou). His ancestors were Du Yu, a famous poet in the early Tang Dynasty. Du Fu was originally Zuo Shiyi and Yuan Wailang, and later he was called Du Shiyi and Du Gongbu. Du Fu lived in the historical period of Tang Dynasty from prosperity to decline, and his poems mostly involved social unrest, political darkness and people's sufferings, and were known as "the history of poetry". Du Fu was concerned about the country and the people, with noble personality and exquisite poetic skills, and was honored as a "poet saint" by later generations. Du Fu wrote more than 1400 poems in his life, many of which are famous works that have been handed down through the ages, such as Three Officials, Three Farewells and Du Gongbu Collection. Among them, the "three officials" are Shi Haoguan, Xin 'an official and Tongguan official, and the "three farewell" are newly married, homeless and resigned. Du Fu's poems have a far-reaching influence on later generations.
Du Fu is good at using many systems of classical poetry and creatively developing them. He is the pioneer of the new Yuefu poetry style. His Yuefu poems contributed to the development of the new Yuefu movement in the middle Tang Dynasty. His "May 7th" ancient novel, which is also a history of poetry, begins to narrate and focus on the whole story, marking the high achievement of China's poetry art. Du Fu also showed extraordinary creativity in the May 7th law, and accumulated complete artistic experience in the aspects of temperament, antithesis, refining words and sentences, which made this genre reach a fully mature stage.
The core of Du Fu's thought is the Confucian thought of benevolent government. He has a great ambition of "making the monarch Yao and Shun superior first, and then making the customs pure". He loves life, people and the great rivers and mountains of the motherland. He hated evil, criticized and exposed the corruption of the imperial court and the dark phenomenon in social life. He sympathized with the people and even fantasized that he was willing to make self-sacrifice to save their suffering. Therefore, his poetry creation always runs through the main line of worrying about the country and the people, with the most ordinary people as the protagonist, which shows Du Fu's greatness. His poems are rich in social content, rich in the color of the times and distinctive in political inclination, which truly and profoundly reflect the political current affairs and broad social life prospect of a historical era before and after the An Shi Rebellion, and are called the "history of poetry" of a generation. The style of Du Fu's poems is basically "gloomy and frustrated", and the language and text structure are full of changes, emphasizing the refinement of words and sentences. At the same time, his poems have many styles. Besides the five ancient poems, the seven ancient poems, the five laws and the seven laws, he also wrote many lines. There are also various artistic techniques, which are the epitome of the ideological art of Tang poetry. Du Fu also inherited the spirit of Yuefu in Han and Wei Dynasties, got rid of the shackles of the ancient Yuefu themes and created many new Yuefu themes, such as the famous Three Officials and Three Farewells. After his death, he was highly praised by Huang Fan, Han Yu, Yuan Zhen and Bai Juyi. Du Fu's poems had a far-reaching influence on Bai Yuan's literary thought of "New Yuefu Movement" and Li Shangyin's near-body allegorical current affairs poems. However, Du Fu's poems were widely valued after the Song Dynasty. Yu Wang, Wang Anshi, Su Shi, Huang Tingjian, Lu You and others highly praised Du Fu, while Wen Tianxiang regarded Du Fu's poems as a spiritual force to adhere to national integrity. The influence of Du Fu's poems, from ancient times to the present, has long gone beyond the scope of literature and art. For details of his life, see Old Tang Book 190.
Three Officials and Three Farewells are the representative works of Du Fu's realistic poems. It truly describes the thoughts, feelings, actions and language of county officials, customs officials, old women, old people, brides, husbands and others in a specific environment, vividly reflects the social reality of that period and the profound disasters and pains of working people, and shows people tragic life tragedies. In these descriptions of the hardships of life, on the one hand, the poet has deep sympathy for the people who have suffered greatly, and hates the enslavement and persecution of the people by officials; On the other hand, he supported the counter-insurgency war of the dynasty and hoped that the people would suffer hardships and cooperate with the dynasty to put down the rebellion. This complex and contradictory thought accords with the poet's thought of worrying about the country and the people.
The song "Autumn Wind Breaking the Cottage" is selected from Du Shaoling's anthology (People's Literature Publishing House, 1979 edition). The thatched cottage, Du Fu's thatched cottage by the Huanhua River in the western suburbs of Chengdu, was Du Fu's residence after he arrived in Chengdu. Appreciate:
[Edit this paragraph] Du Fu's life
Du Fu's experience and poetry creation can be divided into four periods:
First, the roaming period of reading (before the age of 35)
The so-called "dissolute Zhao Qi, Qiu Ma is quite sober and crazy".
In the 19th year of Kaiyuan (at the age of 20), I started roaming in wuyue and returned to Luoyang five years later. This is the first time. Roaming Zhao Qi again. After meeting Li Bai in Luoyang, they formed a profound friendship, then met Gao Shi and traveled with Liang and Song (now Kaifeng and Shangqiu). Later, Du Li went to Jizhou again, met at the east foot after breaking up, and separated again, so there was no chance to meet again.
Second, trapped in Chang' an period (35 to 44 years old)
During this period, Du Fu took the exam in Chang 'an for the first time and came last. Later, he presented gifts to the emperor and presented them to the nobles. He lived a life of "grabbing the rich door in the morning, catching the fat horse dust at dusk, throwing a cup and baking it cold, hiding sadness everywhere". Finally, I got a small official who led Cao Youwei to join the army (mainly guarding the soldiers' weapons and the keys to the treasury). During this period, he wrote poems such as "Car Shop" and "Two Ways", criticizing current politics and satirizing dignitaries. The book "Singing 500 Words from Beijing to Fengxian" is particularly famous, which indicates that his understanding of the political and social reality of the imperial court has reached a new height after ten years of hard life in Chang 'an.
Third, the period of being trapped as a thief (45 to 48 years old)
When the Anshi Rebellion broke out and Tongguan fell, Du Fu settled in Zhangzhou and went to Suzong alone. He was captured by the Anshi Rebellion and taken to Chang 'an. In the face of chaos in Chang 'an, he heard the news that the loyalist troops were repeatedly defeated, and wrote poems such as Moonlit Night, Spring Hope, Ai Jiangtou and Sad Chen Tao. Later, he fled to Fengxiang to cheat and made a collection. Because of his advice, Shangshu was demoted to prime minister of joining the army. (Fang Shu is a typical intellectual, but unrealistic. He fought against the rebels and adopted the Spring and Autumn Array, which resulted in a crushing defeat. Du Fu began to tidy up Zuo's remains. He said Fang was innocent. He was angry and wanted to find fault. Later, he recorded his experiences in the form of poems and became his immortal works, namely "Three Officials" and "Three Farewells".
Three officials: Shi Haoguan, Xin 'an official and Tongguan official; "Three Farewells" means "Wedding Farewells", "Homelessness" and "Farewell the Old and Welcome the New".
Four, southwest drift period (48 to 58 years old)
With the collapse of Xiangzhou loyalist and the famine of Guanfu, Du Fu abandoned his official and fled with his family, passing through Qin Zhou and Tonggu, and lived a relatively stable life in Chengdu. When he entered the DPRK, the warlord in the middle of Shu rebelled and he went to Zizhou and Langzhou. After Yanwu filmed "Our Times" as a blog in Chengdu, Du Fu voted and Yanwu died. He drifted again, lived in Kuizhou for two years, drifted to Hubei and Hunan, and died on the Xiangjiang River. The works of this period include Heart on the Water Threshold, Delighting in Rain on a Spring Night, Autumn Wind Breaking the Cottage, Sick Orange, Climbing the Building, Book Reading, The Yellow River was recaptured by the imperial army, Showing Wu Lang again, Ascending the Mountain, Qiu Xing, Three Jueju and Sui Yanxing. Among them, the most famous poem in "The Hut is Blown by Autumn Wind" is: There are thousands of spacious buildings in Ande, and the poor in the world are happy.

This poem was written by Du Fu in Qin Zhou in the autumn of the second year of Gan Yuan (759). In September this year, Shi Siming led the troops south from Fan Yang, captured Bianzhou and moved west to Luoyang. Shandong and Henan are at war. At that time, Du Fu's younger brothers were scattered in this area, and because of the war, there was no communication, which made him feel intense anxiety and yearning. Remembering Brothers on a Moonlit Night is a true record of his thoughts and feelings at that time. Homesickness for relatives and friends is a common theme in classical poetry. In order to avoid mediocrity and originality, it is not enough to rely solely on the author's life experience, but also to be ingenious in expression. It is in dealing with this common theme that Du Fu reveals his true colors.
Poetry is abrupt and uneven. The title is Moonlit Night, but the author did not start from the moonlit night, but first described a picture of Autumn in Frontier fortress: "Wanderers smell drums to herald battles, and geese sing autumn colors." Write down what you see when the road is broken; Look at the drums and geese, and write down what you hear. It's sad to see and hear. The heavy and monotonous drums and the lonely geese on the horizon not only did not bring a trace of vitality, but made the already desolate frontier fortress more desolate and silent. Broken Pedestrian points out the social environment, which shows that wars are frequent and fierce, and roads are impassable. The two poems render a strong and sad atmosphere, which is the background of Moonlit Night.
Parallel connection point. "He knows the dew will be frost tonight" not only describes the scenery, but also points out the season. It was on the night of the Millennium Festival. It's clear and full of dew, which makes people feel chilly. "The moonlight at home is how bright!" It is also a landscape painting, but it is slightly different from the previous sentence. What the author writes is not completely objective, but incorporates his own subjective feelings. It's a bright moon in the world, and it makes no difference. Determined to say that the moon in my hometown is the brightest; It's obviously my own psychological illusion, so I have to be so sure, no doubt. However, this fantasy-based approach will not make people feel unreasonable, because it profoundly shows the author's subtle psychology and highlights his feelings for his hometown. These two sentences are also very skillful in refining sentences. All they want to say is "tonight is white" and "the moon in my hometown". Only by changing the word order, the tone is particularly vigorous and powerful. So Wang Dechen said: "Zi Mei is good at using things and common language. If she is isolated or inverted, her language will be healthy and firm, and her meaning will be profound and stable." ("Bird History") From here, we can also see Du Fu's ability to turn the tablet into magic.
The above four sentences are written casually, which seems to have nothing to do with missing my brother, but they are not. Not only writing "Looking Back at the Moon", but also listening to drums, wild geese and cold dew made the author feel sad and nostalgic. In fact, I remember every word of my brother, and every word is affectionate.
Poetry has a natural transition from full moon to lyricism. Moonlight often makes people daydream, and it is easier to evoke homesickness. In today's chaotic poet, on this cold moonlit night, naturally, he has a special taste. Where will you go? Anxiety is mixed with melancholy, and the tone is particularly painful. "Oh, my brothers, lost and scattered, what is my life without you?" The last sentence said that the two brothers are separated and live far apart; The next sentence says that there is no home, life and death are unpredictable, and it is heartbreaking to read. These two poems also summarize the common experiences of people in the An Shi Rebellion.
"However, what can I expect in wartime if there is something wrong with the letters in peacetime?" Close to five or six sentences to further express inner worries. Relatives are scattered everywhere, but they often don't send books at ordinary times, not to mention frequent wars and unpredictable life and death. Implication, infinite affection. After reading this poem, we can easily understand why Du Fu was able to write such a poem as "After three months of war, a letter from home is worth a ton of gold" ("Spring Hope"). A profound life experience is the deepest source of artistic creation.
The whole poem is well organized, coordinated from beginning to end, with distinct levels and rigorous structure. If you don't fight, you will have, if you don't go, you will remember your brother when you look at the moon, if you are homeless, you will not be able to deliver books, and if you leave, your life and death will be unknown.
During the Anshi Rebellion, Du Fu was displaced from place to place, suffering hardships and worrying about the country and the people, which was really filled with emotion. As long as you touch it gently, many things will flow out from the bottom of the pen together, so the common theme of homesickness is written out by sadness and frustration. (Zhang)
Appreciate II
Du Fu has four younger brothers. When he came to Zhou Qin in 759 AD, only Du Zhan, the youngest, traveled with him, and the other three younger brothers, Du Ying, Du Guan and Du Feng, lived in Shandong, Henan. This poem is to express the thoughts of three absent brothers.
The whole poem can be divided into two paragraphs. The first four sentences are the first paragraph, which is closely related to Moonlit Night. On the surface, it describes the scenery, but in fact, the feelings of "remembering my brother" are revealed between the lines. "A Wanderer Hear Drums that Predict Fighting" truly depicts the scene of a border town threatened by war, and the war atmosphere set off by this sentence is also one of the reasons why the poet deeply missed his brother at that time. In terms of composition, this sentence is similar to the following "Ah, my brothers, lost and scattered" and "What can I hope during the war?" Taking care of each other also makes the whole poem clear.
The sound of autumn geese was written in the sky from the ground of the previous sentence. Frontier, autumn and the sound of wild geese are all the reasons why people miss their loved ones twice. The word "the sound of geese" also reminds people of the allusion that the ancients called their brothers "flying geese". These two sentences are written from the auditory aspect, and the last two sentences are written from the visual aspect, which can be described as vivid and colorful. "He knows that the dew tonight will be frost" means that Lou looks particularly pale from tonight. In the eyes of poets who miss their younger brother, night after night, Bai Rushuang dew is particularly pale tonight. The moon is the same everywhere, but it is the brightest in my hometown. With the rhetorical device of "empathy", these two poems incorporate strong subjective feelings into the description of natural scenery, which are the true feelings of the poets who deeply miss their relatives in their hometown and are famous sentences that have been sung through the ages.
The last four sentences are the second paragraph, which directly expresses the nostalgia for the younger brothers. "Ah, my brothers are lost and scattered", so that there is no one in my hometown, and because of "homelessness", I want to write to inquire about the "life and death" of my scattered brothers, but there is no way. However, if the peacetime letter goes wrong, "what is my life without you?" And "What can I hope during the war?" It is further claimed that this is still the case at ordinary times, let alone when the war is endless! These four sentences are layered on top of each other, and they can be said to be done in one go.
Appreciation 3
The first sentence of this poem, "A wanderer listens to the drums to herald a war", points out the heavily guarded and deserted appearance of "late at night" and "wartime" at the beginning. "Autumn" and "the sound of geese" in the second sentence further illustrate the season and place where he misses his brothers and sisters. It was autumn, flowers and trees began to wither, I was at the border, and the sad cry of lonely geese made people feel empty and lonely.
The sentence "He knows the dew will frost tonight" describes the solar terms at that time, and the Millennium can echo the bright moon in the next sentence, so that we can feel the deserted appearance at that time from the color of "white". In the last four sentences, Du Fu is describing his feelings of missing his brother. Because of the war, he and his brothers were scattered in different places; The "homeless" in the sixth sentence is even more sad, because he was not only separated from his relatives, but even his hometown was destroyed by the war. In the last two sentences, he described the feeling that he didn't receive a letter from home because of the war and was very worried about everyone's safety. Especially the word "no truce" in the eighth sentence can echo the first sentence, and the whole poem is very complete in emotional expression.
Notes on Tang poetry:
Liang Qichao once wrote in the article Du Fu, the Lover of Love: "I think the Ministry of Industry can at least bear the emblem of the lover, because his emotional content is extremely rich, very real and profound. His expression method is extremely skillful, and he can whip to the depths, embody all his appearances, and hit others' heartstrings like electricity. No one in China's literary world can match the lover's hand, so I call him the lover's hand. From this perspective, Du Fu is not wrong. He is affectionate, but his feelings are extremely profound and profound, which is the humanitarian spirit of "people love things". Therefore, it makes sense that his poems can be written well and as shocking as electricity. And this song "Remembering Brothers on a Moonlit Night" touches and impacts people, as mentioned above.
