Translation
The mountains and rivers are bathed in spring, how beautiful it is, and the spring breeze brings the fragrance of flowers and plants.
Swallows are busy building their nests with wet mud in their hands, and couples of mandarin ducks fall asleep in the warm sand.
The blue waters of the river set off the snow-white feathers of waterfowl, the mountains were gloomy and the red flowers set each other off, and they were about to burn.
This spring is almost over. When and when is the date for my return home? Appreciation
One of them
Tao Yukai, a poetic theorist in Qing Dynasty, pointed out in his book "On Du Fu" that there are many works in Du Fu's collection that "take poetry as painting". This five-character quatrain written in Chengdu Caotang is a very poetic masterpiece. At the beginning of the poem, I started with ink from a big place, depicting the bright and beautiful spring scenery around Huanhuaxi under the bright sunshine in early spring. The pen is simple and colorful. "Late day" means spring day, which means "Spring day is late" in the Book of Songs, the wind and July. Here is used to highlight the sunshine in early spring, so as to control the whole article. At the same time, the word "Li" is used to dye "Jiangshan", which shows the beautiful scenery of sunny spring, green fields and streams reflecting the sun. Although this is a rough sketch, the bottom of the pen is a spring swing.
In the second sentence, the poet further shows the beautiful spring scenery with warm spring breeze, blooming flowers, lush grass and rich fragrance. Because the poet organically organizes the spring breeze, flowers and plants and their fragrance, through association, we can have the feeling of welcoming the wind, blooming flowers, and sending flowers by the wind, and receive the artistic effect as if it were on the scene. On the basis of the bright and vast picture, the three or four sentences turn to concrete and vivid descriptions of early spring scenery.
In the third sentence, the poet chooses the most common and characteristic dynamic scenery in early spring to sketch. Bloom is warm in spring, the mud melts and the soil is wet, and the swallows, who leave in autumn and return in spring, are busy flying around, nesting with mud. This vivid description makes the picture more vibrant, full of spring, and has a dynamic beauty. Du Fu's observation of swallows is very detailed, and "mud melting" is closely related to the first sentence, because spring returns to the earth and the sun shines, it is "mud melting"; Ziyan's new arrival, making a nest with mud in her mouth, keeps flying, showing a feeling of spring.
The fourth sentence is to outline the static scenery. Spring melts, the sun is beautiful and the sand is warm. Yuanyang should also enjoy the warmth of this spring and sleep still on the sandbar by the stream. This is also closely related to the first sentence, because "it is late for the sun" to warm the sand, and the sand warmth attracts pairs of mandarin ducks to come out of the water and bathe in the bright sunshine, which is so leisurely and comfortable. Judging from the description of the scenery, it contrasts with the dynamic flying swallow in the third sentence, which is dynamic and static, and makes each other interesting. These two sentences use meticulous brushwork to describe the flying swallow with mud and the sleeping mandarin duck, and cooperate with one or two sentences to sketch the broad and bright scenery, so that the whole picture is harmonious and unified, forming a picture of early spring scenery with bright colors, flourishing business and aesthetic feeling. As far as the thoughts and feelings contained in the poem are concerned, it reflects the poet's comfortable mood of temporarily settling in the thatched cottage after "one-year-old four-line service" and "three-year hunger and barren hills", and also shows the poet's joyful feelings about the vitality and prosperity of nature in the early spring.
this five-character quatrain has a bright and beautiful artistic conception and a fresh style. The whole poem is neat, but natural and smooth, without carving; Describing the beautiful scenery without any trace is a unique chapter in Du Fu's collection.
Secondly,
This poem was written by Du Fu after he entered Shu, expressing his feelings of being in a foreign land. "The birds in the river are over white, and the mountains are blue and white." This is a landscape painting embedded in a frame, which is full of ink on paper and colorful in the picture, and has a fascinating charm. The blue waves rippling across the river reveal the beautiful scenery of bai ling's waterfowl, skimming the river. The mountains are full of greenery, and the blossoming flowers all over the place are extremely red. It's like a burning fire, very charming and brilliant. Du Fu (712-77), with beautiful words, was called Shaoling Yelao, known as "Du Gongbu" and "Du Shaoling" in the world. He was born in Gongxian County, Henan Province (now gongyi city, Henan Province) and was a great realistic poet in the Tang Dynasty. Du Fu was honored as a "poet saint" by the world, and his poems were called "history of poetry". Du Fu and Li Bai are called "Li Du" together, and in order to distinguish them from the other two poets, Li Shangyin and Du Mu, namely "Little Li Du", Du Fu and Li Bai are also called "Great Li Du". He is concerned about the country and the people, and his personality is noble. About 1,4 of his poems have been preserved, and his poetic skills are exquisite, which is highly respected in China's classical poems and has far-reaching influence. He lived in Chengdu from 759 to 766, and was commemorated by Du Fu's Caotang in later generations.
Du Fu sometimes watches herons when the water is full, and frogs are everywhere in the grass. The wind blows the fragrant orchid, and there are no birds and birds on the day. The ancient rock spring drops, and the birds in the valley close. The river reflected the autumn shadow geese just south fly, about friends with the wine with the Flagon hill. People are fascinated by Dongting water, and geese smoke in Xiaoxiang. Looking back at the estuary, birds crow and flowers fade, who is the main one today? Three autumn geese are guarded in ancient times, and ten thousand trees are on the high platform. The long wind is rustling across the water, and the returning geese have repeatedly reflected the sky. Scared birds go to infinity, and cold flies sound beside me. The royal palace bell is sparse, the official in the office of officials has been very few, the Lo province only heard wuming. The geese disappear in the sea of clouds, who will pity the sky wild goose? There is nothing to do, but the flowers fall, and it seems familiar that Yan returns. Birds don't know if the countryside is good, so they wear flowers and fall in love with each other in the small court. Swallows don't return to spring late, and a misty rain and apricot blossoms are cold. On the sand and on the pond. Clouds break the moon and flowers make shadows.
