Jueju
Tang Dynasty: Du Fu
"Two orioles sing green willows, and egrets cover the sky."
My window framed the snow-covered western hills. My door often says "goodbye" to ships sailing eastward.
Two orioles sang softly among the green willows, and a neat team of egrets went straight into the blue sky. Sitting by the window, you can see the snow accumulated all the year round on Xiling Mountain, and ships from Dongwu, thousands of miles away, are parked in front of the door.

Creation background
This group of poems was written in the spring of 764, the second year of Guangde, Tang Daizong. In the first year of Baoying, Tang Suzong (762), Chengdu Yin entered the DPRK, and turmoil occurred in Shu. Du Fu once avoided Zizhou (treating Santai in Sichuan). In the second year, the Anshi Rebellion was put down. A year later, Yanwu returned to Chengdu and went to Shu again. Du Fu learned the news of this old friend and followed him back to Chengdu Caotang.
At this time, Du Fu's mood was particularly comfortable. Faced with a vibrant scene, he couldn't help writing this group of impromptu poems. Du Yi of Wang Siyuan in the late Ming Dynasty said that this group of poems was "built after living in the thatched cottage, and it is planned to spend the rest of my life here, but I said so".
This group of poems begins with the spring scenery of the thatched cottage, and the artistic conception is Tao Ran; With the wandering of sight, the change of scenery and the appearance of river boats, his homesickness was touched, and the four sentences of scenery fully expressed the poet's complicated and meticulous inner ideological activities. This poem has two sticks, and its writing is exquisite, but it has no feeling of carving at all, and it is very natural and smooth.
Lead readers to introduce their philosophical interest in history and life from the immediate scenery to the distant space and a long time. "Two orioles singing green willows, a line of egrets on the sky. The window contains autumn snow in Xiling, and the Wu Dong Wan Li boat stops at the door. " Orioles and green willows present a lively atmosphere, while egrets and blue sky give people a calm and comfortable feeling. The word "song" indicates the bird's complacency.
The word "Shang" shows the leisure and elegance of egrets. The alternating colors of yellow, green, white and blue show the beauty of spring and convey the poet's cheerful and comfortable mood. This poem is colorful, artistic and neat. The word "containing" means that the poet is looking out of the window, and this scene seems to be a picture embedded in a window frame. These two sentences show the poet's ease and joy.
"Xiling", that is, Minshan Mountain in southwest Chengdu, has snow all year round, so it is called "Thousand Autumn Snow". "Wu Dong", during the Three Kingdoms period, Sun Quan established his capital in Nanjing, Jiangsu Province, with the name of Wu, also known as Wu. This refers to the Jiangnan area in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. "One thousand autumn snows" means a long time, and "Wan Li Boat" means a vast space. Poets in the thatched cottage, thinking for thousands of years, see through Wan Li, how broad-minded!
These two sentences are also the crowning touch of the whole poem, with an open realm and lofty sentiments. It broadens the breadth in space and time, and makes the conception of the whole poem stand out at once. It is deep, heavy, comfortable and open, and it is really a famous sentence through the ages.
