Original poem:
"Spring Hope" Tang Dynasty: Du Fu
Chang' an fell, the country was broken, and only the mountains and rivers remained; Spring has come, and the sparsely populated Chang' an city is densely forested.
Sad state, can not help but burst into tears, amazing birds, leaving sorrow and hate.
The war lasted for more than half a year, and letters from home were rare, with a hundred thousand gold.
Twisting with melancholy, scratching my head and thinking, the more I scratch my white hair, I can hardly insert a hairpin.
Explanation:
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.
Extended data:
In July of the 14th year of Tianbao (755), Prince Hengli was located in Lingwu (present-day Ningxia), known as Su Zong in the world, and was renamed as De. Du Fu heard the news and went to Su Zong court alone. Unfortunately, he was captured by the rebels on the way, but he was not imprisoned because of his humble position. In the spring of the second year of Zhide, Du Fu, who was in the occupied area, witnessed the scene of depression in Chang 'an, and he had mixed feelings, so he wrote this masterpiece that will be told for generations.
Du Fu was born in the prosperous Tang Dynasty and witnessed the process of the Tang Dynasty from prosperity to decline. As a poet, he has a more sensitive heart than ordinary people. Seeing that our country is getting worse every day and the people are suffering, it is naturally not a taste in my heart.
In November of the 14th year of Tianbao (755), the Anshi Rebellion broke out and An Lushan rebelled against the Tang Dynasty. Du Fu has just witnessed the tragic situation after the fall of Chang 'an. Mixed feelings, write down this patriotic poem that will be remembered forever.
Chang' an fell, the country was broken, and only the mountains and rivers remained; Spring has come, and the sparsely populated Chang' an city is densely forested. Sad state, can not help but burst into tears, amazing birds, leaving sorrow and hate. The war lasted for more than half a year, and letters from home were rare, with a hundred thousand gold. Twisting with melancholy, scratching my head and thinking, the more I scratch my white hair, I can hardly insert a hairpin. The country is broken, only mountains and rivers are always there. Spring is coming again. Chang 'an, once prosperous, is now overgrown with weeds.
When you are sad for the national disaster, look at the flowers crying. The sound of birds singing is sad and loud, which makes people panic. This continuous war has lasted for three months. A letter from home is more important than a million dollars. There were not many white hairs, but now there are even fewer because of sadness. It seems that I can't even hold my hair clasp.
