Influenced by Du Fu and Han Yu, Du Mu's ancient poems are good at integrating narrative, discussion and lyricism, with rigorous style and thin sentence patterns, such as Poems of Feeling for the Heart, Poems of Du Qiuniang, Poems of Zhang, Lonely Village in the County, Books in the Snow, and Autumn Sending to Hebei. Among them, prose narrative and discussion are common. Du Mu's ancient poems were influenced by Han Yu. But sometimes he will use metaphor and image language to discuss, full of lyricism. Du Mu's ancient poems often have a different realm, simple and unpretentious, heroic and vigorous, such as "Chizhou bid farewell to Meng Chi's ancestors". In the late Tang Dynasty, the style of poetry was modest and powerless, mostly metrical poems and quatrains. Few people can write long poems. Du Mu's ancient poems were also outstanding in the middle and late Tang Dynasty. His poems, together with excellent poems known as "handsome", constitute three main aspects of his poetry creation.
2. quatrains
Du Mu's quatrains are equivalent to metrical poems, which have achieved great success and have always enjoyed a high reputation. Guan Shiming's Preface to Reading Tang Poems in Snow Mountain House said: "Du Tiancai is a natural traveler with a Whitestorm, but sometimes he dreams." Seven-character quatrains are integrated into one, especially good at it. "Compilation of Poems in Heshang Wine Garden" says: "Du Fu's poems are the most timely and long-lasting. The moon has a lonely shadow, Gao Xia is alone, and the rest are not. " Shen Deqian thinks that Du Mu's quatrains are implicit, which can be called the "heir voice" in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, and summarizes its characteristics as "far rhyme and far spirit". He achieved the highest achievement among the seven wonders, with beautiful artistic conception, amazing comments and meaningful charm. Poems on history, amazing ideas, high historical knowledge. Du Mu's scenery is lyrical and poetic, with beautiful artistic conception and meaningful charm, which is beyond the seven wonders of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Du Mu is good at capturing the beautiful images of natural scenery, describing them with quatrains, subtle and refined, and blending scenes. In just four sentences, he wrote a complete and beautiful scene, just like a painting, such as Jiang Nanchun's quatrains.
Step 3: rhythm
There are a considerable number of Du Mu's regular poems, among which there are more than 100 Collected Works of Fan Chuan, and about 167 except the Collected Works of Fan Chuan and other collections. His regular poems occupy an important position in all his poems, and his artistic achievements are also very high, especially the seven laws. The style of Du Mu's poems is handsome, cold, vigorous and heroic, which is the most prominent in his regular poems. Later poetry critics have pointed out that "steepness" is the characteristic of Du Mu's regular poems. In the Song Dynasty, Liu Kezhuang's "Hou Cun Shi Hua" said: "Du Mu and Xu Hun are at the same time, but they are different." Pasturing in the Tang law is often to correct the disadvantages of the times without being so awkward. Yang Shenyun in Ming Dynasty: "Since the late Tang Dynasty, Li Yishan has declined, but Du Mu is the best. "Song people commented that his poems were magnificent, elegant and elegant, and they were particularly awkward in the regular poems, and they were faithful and faithful." The reason why Du Mu's metrical poems are "steep with few words" or "especially steep" is that, as Zhao Yi said, "since the middle Tang Dynasty, metrical poems have prevailed and competed with each other to discuss diseases, so many syllables are harmonious and beautiful in style." Du Mu was afraid of his weakness, so he founded the arrogant school and tried his best to correct its shortcomings. "Abrupt, on the one hand, refers to the steep momentum produced by poems that change without rhyme; On the other hand, it refers to the bold and vigorous artistic conception similar to classical poetry. Du Mu pretended to be an awkward sentence in the verse, or expressed an ancient meaning, showing a strong momentum and trying to correct the weak and mature style of poetry. Du Mu's Seven Laws are very realistic. In addition, Du Mu's rhythmic poems are all ancient rhymes, and there is a quaint charm in lingering.
