First, suffering in the war.
Du Fu lived in the late Tang Dynasty, when the country was at home and abroad, and wars were frequent. In Climbing Up, he wrote: "In the sharp wind from the vast sky, apes are sobbing, and birds are flying home on clear lakes and white beaches. Leaves fall like the spray of a waterfall, and I watch the long river always roll forward. " This poem is based on magnificent natural scenery and expresses his deep concern for the suffering in troubled times. In his poems, he often reveals his sorrow for the war and his sympathy for the people's suffering.
Second, the cynicism of social unrest.
Du Fu's poems are full of cynicism about the social unrest at that time. In a dream of one of Li Bai's two poems, he wrote: "When death is the reason for parting, there will be sobs, but life leaves again and again." You didn't bring me any signs of exile in the poisonous humidity of the southern river. Until you came to my dream last night, because I always thought of you. " This poem takes Li Bai as the protagonist, and through the description of Li Bai's dream, it implies the darkness of society and people's helplessness at that time. Du Fu used a unique narrative technique to integrate his thoughts and emotions into his poems, expressing his dissatisfaction with troubled times and his concern for people's destiny.
Third, the contrast between nature and life.
In Du Fu's poems, natural scenery is often used to describe the joys and sorrows of life. In "Remembering Brothers on a Moonlit Night", he wrote: "Wanderers listen to drums and geese sing autumn colors. He knows that the dew will be frost tonight, and how bright the moonlight is at home! This poem expresses the feeling of missing one's loved ones by describing the sound of drums, autumn and geese. Du Fu combined personal feelings with social unrest by describing natural scenery, showing the impermanence of life and the fragility of fate.
Fourth, expectations for the future.
Despite living in troubled times, Du Fu's poems still reveal his expectation for the future and yearning for a better life. In "Remembering Brothers on a Moonlit Night", he wrote: "Life is naturally infatuated with love, and this hatred has nothing to do with romance." This poem expresses the thinking about the pain of life and the expectation for a better future. Du Fu's poems often reveal his yearning for social reform and people's happiness. He hopes to arouse people's pursuit of a better life through his poems.
