Du Fu (Tang)
The heartbroken Chunjiang River is coming to an end,
cháng duàn chūn Jiāng yìn tóu，
Xu buzhou.
This is the first time I have seen you.
Crazy catkins drift with the wind,
Deacon Kang ·liǔ incarnation,
Fine peach blossoms chase running water.
Qin Botao's Reasoning.

It is said that the riverside scenery is beautiful, and spring is coming to an end. How can I not be sad? Walking on crutches at the head of the river, standing on the Zhou Fang, I only saw catkins jumping wildly, dancing unscrupulously with the wind, and thin, self-respecting peach blossoms chasing the running water.

This quatrain was written in the second year of Du Fu's living in Chengdu Caotang, that is, the second year of Dai Zong Shang Yuan (76 1). The title is "Wandering", which means writing casually when you are happy. Don't write all, don't write all, and it's not the same time. Judging from the contents of these nine poems, there is a second place where it can be found that it was written in spring.
The scenery around Du Fu's Caotang is beautiful, and his life there is relatively stable. However, poets who have suffered from chaos have not forgotten that the national disaster has not been removed, so it is difficult to return to their homeland; Despite the flowers in front of me, the worries of home and country still haunt me from time to time. Its original intention is to write scenery and express feelings, and it does not mean to criticize women's style, but because the images of "willow" and "peach blossom" used in two of them are also used to describe women. The so-called broken flowers and defeated willows have a face like peach blossom. Moreover, the poem is extremely frivolous, so it is often used by later generations to imply the frivolous and unruly style of women.
Du Fu (7 12-770) was born in Xiangyang, Han nationality, and then moved to Gongxian County, Henan Province. A great realistic poet in the Tang Dynasty, who claimed to be a young man at night, was called "Du Li" together 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.
Du Fu wrote such famous works as Spring Hope, Northern Expedition, Three Officials and Three Farewells. In the second year of Gan Yuan (759), Du Fu abandoned his official position and went to Sichuan. Although he fled the war and lived a relatively stable life, he still cared about the whole life and the affairs of the country. Although Du Fu is a realistic poet, he also has a wild and unruly side. It is not difficult to see Du Fu's heroism and dry clouds from his masterpiece Song of Drinking Eight Immortals.
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.
