The pinyin version of the ancient poem Quatrains is as follows:
Quelles (jué jù) Tang Dynasty: Du Fu (táng: dù fǔ)
Two orioles singing in the green willows (liǎng gè huáng lí míng cuì liǔ),
A line of egrets ascending to the blue sky (yī háng bái lù shàng qīng tiān).
The window contains the Qianqiu snow of Xiling (chuāng hán xī lǐng qiān qiū xuě),
The door is docked with the Dongwu Wanli ship (mén bó dōng wú wàn lǐ chuán).
Appreciation of the lyrics:
"Two orioles are singing in the green willows, and a row of egrets are ascending to the blue sky." Two orioles are singing, and there is a sound. "A row of egrets ascending to the blue sky", this is a behavior and an action. One horizontally and one vertically, "two" and "one" are opposite; one horizontally and one vertically, a very bright natural scenery unfolds.
In this poem, the word "Ming" is the most expressive, using anthropomorphic techniques to describe the oriole more vividly. Then Du Fu talked about "the window contains thousands of years of snow on the Xiling Mountains". My window contains the snow accumulated in Minshan Mountain for thousands of years. The Minshan Mountain to the west is a Minshan Mountain with thousands of years of snow.
"A ship thousands of miles long is parked at the door." A ship thousands of miles long is parked at my door. This creates a welcome and a send-off, welcoming the snow-covered mountains into your field of vision and sending the boat downstream. The fact that the "Ten Thousand Mile Ship" can pass also means that the "Anshi Rebellion" has come to an end and is close to being quelled. At this time, the ship can also pass, and business people can come and go on this river.
A Line of Egrets Climbing into the Blue Sky
Such a poem is very beautiful in itself, and its four sentences are all antithetical. Quatrains have been around since the Six Dynasties. After the Tang Dynasty, quatrains have become a very mature art. Many of our famous poems use quatrains.
A quatrain is a four-sentence sentence. The four sentences are often either non-contrasting, or the first two sentences of the four sentences are in contrast with the scenery and the last two are lyrical, or the first two sentences are not in contrast with each other and the last two sentences are in contrast. Then Now all four lines of his poem are antithetical, which can be said to be a very neat and carefully written poem. There was a time when Du Fu wrote a poem that made people "will not stop until their words are astonishing", so he refined this poem over and over again.
