The content of Du Fu's poems is divided into several aspects. Poems expressing feelings of serving the country, poems lamenting the lack of talents, and ancient poems reflecting the lives of ordinary people at the bottom are all classics. After middle age, his reflection on plain life became a major feature of his poems.
The clear river winds around the village, and everything in the village looks elegant in the long summer.
Swallows on the beam fly freely, and blind dates in the water are similar and accompanied.
The old lady is using a chessboard, and the younger son is making a hook with an injection.
As long as some old friends give me some money, what do I ask?
This is Du Fu's Jiangcun. After numerous wanderings, Du Fu, who was nearly half a century old, finally settled down in Chengdu. Therefore, this kind of ancient poem also wrote about his dull life recently, allowing him to enjoy family happiness. Although plain, it contains a kind of chic.
"Qingjiang is a village song, and everything in Xiajiang village is quiet." Du Fu finally got inner peace after vicissitudes. More importantly, the picturesque scenery near Chengdu Caotang made her feel a little comfortable. The clear river winds through the village, and everything seems quiet in the long summer.
"Go to church to visit swallows and get close to gulls in the water", in this picturesque environment. The creatures between heaven and earth are also full of harmonious beauty. Swallows in the sky fly freely. Bai Ou in the water, accompanied by others, enjoys family happiness.
From the scenery and animals between heaven and earth, the poet turned his attention to his home. "The old man draws paper as chess, and the young son knocks the needle as a hook", and his wife and children are also enjoying a dull life. The wife draws a chessboard with paper, and the younger son gives an injection. I want to make a fishhook. Although living in poverty, the family tradition of qinqi painting and calligraphy has not been abandoned.
The last poem is Du Fu's emotion. "But with an old friend Mi Lu, what more can I ask?" The vicissitudes of the old man expressed his feelings at the end of this poem. As long as old friends give some money and rice to meet the basic needs of life and live a simple life, what can they expect?
Du Fu's first Tang poem expressed his longing for a plain life and his gratitude to his friends. Among them, the beautiful and quiet scenery shows Du Fu's warm life interest and yearning for a stable life at present.
Compared with those poems with grand themes, this Tang poem by Du Fu is much more prosaic. But behind the plain nature is the chic wind. The warmth of family and the beauty of life make the old man loyal to his inner peace. What is more worth cherishing than this life in front of you? If nothing happened later, it would be a good destination for Du Fu to die here. Unfortunately, after that, Du Fu, who was old, still went through hardships and was displaced from place to place, and finally lost his life in a drifting boat.
