-Appreciation of Hope in Spring
spring scenery
Du Fu
Chang' an fell, the country was broken, and only the mountains and rivers remained; Spring has come, and the sparsely populated Chang' an city is densely forested.
Sad state, can not help but burst into tears, amazing birds, leaving sorrow and hate.
The war lasted for more than half a year, and letters from home were rare, with a hundred thousand gold.
Twisting with melancholy, scratching my head and thinking, the more I scratch my white hair, I can hardly insert a hairpin.
Du fu (7 12~770) has beautiful handwriting. Du Fu had a rough life. He was a great realistic poet in the Tang Dynasty and a world cultural celebrity. He and Li Bai are also called "Du Li". Du Fu's poems were the most widely circulated in the Tang Dynasty, and he was one of the most outstanding poets in the Tang Dynasty, which had a far-reaching influence on later generations.
This is a lyric poem about worrying about the country and homesickness during the war. Despite the arrival of spring and lush vegetation, there are bleak and dilapidated scenes everywhere. Sentimental state affairs, watching spring flowers cry; I don't want to leave, and I'm afraid to hear the birds sing. During the war, I missed my relatives very much, and I wanted to hear the voice of my family! Looking at the spring scenery in front of me, I feel sad instead.
"Although the country is divided, the mountains and rivers remain forever, and the vegetation turns green in spring." At the beginning, I wrote what I saw in spring: the capital fell and the city was broken. Although the mountains and rivers are still there, there are grass everywhere and the trees are gray. A word "broken" makes people stunned, and another word "deep" makes people sad.
"Petals fall like tears, and lonely birds sing their sorrows." The general explanation of these two sentences is that flowers and birds were originally entertaining things, but they hated parting because of love, but they made the poet cry. Another explanation is that flowers and birds personify people and feel sad when they leave. Flowers also splash tears and birds are heartbroken. Although the two statements are different, their connotations can be interlinked. One is touching the scene and the other is empathy, which shows the rich connotation of poetry.
"After three months of war, a letter from home is worth a ton of gold." From the Anshi Rebellion, "the war was fierce and the countryside was broken", and the war continues until the end of March and spring. How I look forward to hearing from my relatives at home. At this moment, a letter from home is really better than "tiger balm"! "A letter from home is worth a ton of gold" wrote the kind of urgent mood of missing news and looking forward to it for a long time. This is an idea that everyone will have in their hearts, which naturally makes people sing, thus becoming a famous sentence that has been told through the ages.
"I stroked my white hair. It has become so thin that it can no longer hold hairpins. "A few crosses make the image of a sad white-haired old man stand in front of the readers. The author looked forward to spring, but he didn't get any pleasure. Instead, he was trapped by "feeling the time" and "hating parting", and finally he was restless and scratched his head frequently. Although the poet is only forty-five years old at this time, his hair is getting less and less because he is depressed all day long, and he can hardly insert a hair clasp. From the point of view of composition, this couplet unifies the two feelings of "feeling of time" and "hating farewell" expressed in front of it, and closes the whole article. The author chooses the subconscious action of scratching his hair, which turns the full sadness into a vivid image that can be seen and touched, naturally guides the reader into the artistic conception of the poem and produces a * * * sound.
Exercise questions:
(1) When the poet wrote this poem, he was trapped in Chang 'an, occupied by rebels in An Lushan. The country is in turmoil, families are separated, and the spring scenery in front of us is even more touching. Through "the place where petals flow like tears" and "I touch my white hair", I vividly expressed my deep feelings. It has grown too thin. "
(2) The first four sentences of the poem are all in the word "Wang". The poet looks at it from near to far, from far to near, from mountains and rivers to cities, and then from cities to flowers and birds. Feelings are from hidden to obvious, from weak to strong, step by step. In the change of scenery and emotion, it seems that the poet gradually turned from eagerly watching the scenery to bowing his head and meditating, and naturally transitioned to the second half-missing his loved ones.
(3) Ming Wang Chun's famous sentence: Although the country is divided, the mountains and rivers last forever, and the vegetation is spring.
Contrast sadness with beautiful scenery: petals fall like tears, and lonely birds sing their sadness.
