The Tang Dynasty was the era of poetry and Du Li's world. Li Bai is free and easy, and Lao Du is depressed and frustrated. Their different styles have created different chapters of Tang poetry, which are very different but meaningful.
▲ Poet Du Fu
Among them, Li Bai's long poems and Du Fu's seven laws are among the best. In particular, Du Fu's Seven Laws are not only profound in content, but also neat in meter, which can be described as a masterpiece in the literary hall of the prosperous Tang Dynasty.
Du Fu wrote a lot of poems in his life, including about 155 poems with seven rhythms. This paper excerpts from seven of Du Fu's most famous seven-rhythm poems, from which we can feel the poetic style of Lao Du, especially the last one, which is known as "the crown of seven-rhythm poems in Tang Dynasty".
1, Eight Poems by Qiu Xing (I)
There are eight poems in Eight Poems in Autumn, all of which are seven rhythms. The age of writing poetry was Du Fu's later years, and the Anshi Rebellion continued. Du Fu took refuge in Kuizhou. During this period, Du Fu was at the end of his life. Coupled with his grief for autumn and the war in the country, Du Fu wrote this group of poems when he was in the mood. These poems echo each other and are well organized, but the capitals are independent, which can be described as excellent works.
Eight poems by Du Xing
Especially one of them is meaningful. The whole poem is as follows:
Yulu withered maple forest, Wushan Wuxia bleak.
Between the river and the sky, the waves are rough and the clouds are covered with fog.
Cong Ju shed tears the other day. She was alone in the boat.
Cold clothes push knives and rulers everywhere, and Baidicheng is anxious.
The theme of this poem is about autumn scenery in Kuizhou, but in fact, it is the focus of this poem that "Cong Ju cries another day, and the boat alone is the heart of hometown". On the surface, it describes the scenery of Kuizhou, but in fact it expresses the emotion of "being far away in the rivers and lakes and worrying about the king".
The meaning of these two poems is that last year and this year, I shed tears to Cong Ju, which shows the poet's situation; The so-called "hometown heart" means missing Chang 'an. The poet has been concerned about the country and the people all his life, but the situation in his later years is so bleak!
2. Shu Xiang
This poem is an ancient poem about Du Fu's history, and the poet expresses his desire to make contributions in Zhuge Liang's own situation. The full text is as follows:
Where is the temple of the famous prime minister? It is in a deep pine forest near the Silk City.
The steps are dotted with green grass in spring, and birds are chirping happily under the leaves.
The third call aggravated his state affairs, and he gave his sincerity to two generations.
But before he conquered, he died, and since then the heroes have been crying on their coats.
The two most famous lines in this poem, "But before he could conquer, he was dead, and the heroes cried on their coats", expressed the poet's loss. The poet once longed to occupy an important position and make contributions to the country. Unfortunately, he was frustrated all his life, and his only achievement was in poems he didn't care about. This is really a scam.
The first couplet and couplet of this poem are beautifully written. The neck couplets and tail couplets are full of regret and sadness until "the hero burst into tears", which has a strong shock.
Step 3: Guests arrive
This poem is one of Du Fu's rare poems describing ordinary life. The full text is as follows:
The north and south of the thatched cottage are all springs, and the flock of gulls flew in.
The old lady didn't sweep the flower path for the guests. Today, it's only for you. Chai Men hasn't opened it for you yet, but it will open it for you today.
The market for plate food is far from delicious, but here in my cabin there are old wines from our cups.
If you are willing to invite the old man next door to drink with you, he will drink his cup through the fence!
▲ My road is covered with petals-I haven't cleaned it for others, and my thatched cottage door has been closed-but now it is open for you.
This seven-melody is about the scenery of Du Fu's Caotang, which makes people feel like a paradise after reading it. In particular, the couplets at the back of the neck and tail depict interesting pictures of life, which are very realistic and friendly and have a strong flavor of life.
In this poem, the most famous one is "My road is full of petals-I didn't clean it for others, and my thatched cottage door has been closed-but now it's open for you". Unfortunately, these two sentences have been over-interpreted by many good people and become synonymous with intimate relationship between men and women.
4. Talking about the value of water in rivers like the sea.
In Du Fu's poems, there are many poems expressing his attitude and skills in writing poems, and there are also many famous sentences, such as "If you don't say something amazing, you will never stop". This poem comes from the poem "Talking about the River as Water as the Sea", and the full text is as follows:
I like to try to find a good poem all my life. The language of the poem is not surprising, and I will not stop.
Old poems are muddy and prosperous, but flowers and birds are not deeply worried about spring scenery.
For fishing, a new water sill was added, so the boat was replaced by a raft.
I hope that Tao Yuanming, Xie Lingyun and other poetry masters will definitely chat with each other and have a tea party.
