Du Fu's Poetry Collection "Empty Bag" Du Fu Series: Du Fu's Poetry Collection | Du Fu's Poetry Collection "Empty Bag"

The original cypress is bitter, but it can be eaten in the morning 1. The world is cold, and my way is difficult 2! The well is not frozen in the morning, but it is cold without a bed at night. I'm afraid I'll be shy when I'm empty, so I'll leave a dollar to watch 4.

Note 1 The first sentence says that he has no money to buy things to eat, and the next sentence says that the poet is not afraid of difficulties and is optimistic. I have no money to buy food, so I have to eat Yunsongbai. This is the poet's boring and conceited words. These two sentences tell the reason why they are empty, because the world does not distinguish between right and wrong, and they refuse to agree, so of course they are suffering. Reckless: Carelessness. These two sentences specifically describe how empty and painful you are. The last sentence said nothing to eat, and the next sentence said nothing to wear. Cuan: It means cooking with fire. No: I mean I don't have rice, so naturally I don't have to make a fire to cook. The bed without clothes is cold at night, that is to say, the bed is cold at night, not only without clothes, but also without quilts. 4 shy: sorry. Look: Watch your wallet. Here, I describe myself as saving money and saving face. In the last two sentences, Du Fu described his predicament in a bitter tone, and he still had the last penny on him, which was used to guard the purse.

The appreciation of this poem was also written by Du Fu when he lived in Zhou Qin. The content describes Du Fu's extremely hard life in Qin Zhou. At that time, the Tang Dynasty was at war, and all the young people were drafted into the army. The land is barren and uncultivated. Coupled with extortion by corrupt officials, the people are in dire straits. The content of the poem is easy to understand, and the couplet "I'm afraid of being short of money, so I can save a penny to read" vividly describes the poet's predicament and anguish at this time, which can be said to be incisive and touching.
