Chang' an fell and the country was broken, leaving only mountains and rivers; Spring has come, and Chang 'an, which is sparsely populated, has dense vegetation. Sentimental state affairs, tears can't help splashing, birds are heart-pounding, which only increases sadness but not hatred. The continuous war has lasted for more than half a year, and there are few letters from home. A letter is worth twelve thousand gold. Worried, scratching my head, my white hair is getting shorter and shorter, and I can't insert it.
This poem comes from Du Fu's Spring Hope in the Tang Dynasty.
Appreciation of Hope in Spring: The first four sentences of this poem describe the miserable and dilapidated scene of Chang 'an in spring, with ups and downs; In the last four sentences, the poet's feelings of caring for relatives and state affairs are full of bitterness and indignation. This poem is well-proportioned, with "where the petals have spilled like tears" as the first couplet to lament the defeat of the country, "and the lonely bird has mourned" as the first couplet to worry about homesickness, while the last couplet emphasizes that the worry is deep and white, and the confrontation is delicate and the voice is tragic, which shows the poet's patriotic feelings.
Du Fu (7 12-770) was born in Gongxian County, Henan Province (now gongyi city, Zhengzhou, Henan Province) in the Tang Dynasty. He is a great realistic poet in Tang Dynasty, and he is also called "Du Li" with Li Bai. In order to distinguish Li Shangyin, Du Mu and Xiao Du Li, Du Fu and Li Bai are also called Da Du Li, and Du Fu is often called Lao Du. Du Fu's influence on China's classical poetry is far-reaching, and he is called "the sage of poetry" by later generations, and his poems are called "the history of poetry". Later generations called him Du Shiyi and Du Gongbu, and also called him Du Shaoling and Du Caotang. The core of Du Fu's thought is the Confucian thought of benevolent government, and he has the great wish of "making the monarch Yao and Shun superior, and then making the customs pure". Although Du Fu was not famous during his lifetime, his fame spread far and wide, which had a far-reaching impact on China literature and Japanese literature. About 65,438+0,500 poems of Du Fu have been preserved, most of which are collected by Du Gongbu.
