These two sentences show that the poet attaches great importance to the choice and tempering of language in his poetry creation.
Second, he refined examples of words:
1. Pay special attention to the practice of verbs. For example, the word "cast" in "Twilight Cast for Shihao Village" ("Li Shihao") describes the poet's desire to stay on the way during the war, which is called "irreparable, full of gods"; Another example is the word "go" in "Wanling Valley near Jingmen" (the third of "Five Historical Monuments"), which makes the mountain peak feel like flying; The word "pressure" in "Thousands of flowers press branches" (the sixth quatrain of "Looking for flowers by the River") means that flowers are many, large and heavy, giving people a sense of "three-dimensional".
Du Fu also took pains to temper adjectives. For example, how accurate and powerful the word "fishy" is in "Dead Bodies and Plants Are Fishy" ("Farewell the Old and Welcome the New")! Imagine, after years of war, the people have suffered great sacrifices, corpses are everywhere, bones are mountains, and even the vegetation exudes a disgusting stench. For example, the word "duo" in "Nine Yuntai Moonshine" ("Night Walking in Zuoting") is far better than the words "yuan" and "Ming". No wonder Ye Xie praised the word "including the night view of the palace" in Qing Dynasty.
He is also good at expelling empty talk. For example, "There are Bashu mountains and rivers, and all buildings are harmonious" (Shangdian), and the poem has a long history. Among them, the words "you" and "zi" have linked thousands of miles and hundreds of years. The proper use of "Jude" and "Zi" in "The Pink Wall is Still Bamboo, and the Pavilion is Comfortable" (Wang Teng Pavilion) makes this poem rich in artistic connotation.
2. Poets like to choose carefully when writing poems, and later generations are known as Jia Dao and Meng Jiao.
Jia Dao, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, was born in Fanyang County (now Zhuozhou, Hebei Province) in the Tang Dynasty. Self-named "Jieshishan people".
Meng Jiao was born in Dongye, Wukang, Huzhou (now Deqing County, Zhejiang Province), and his ancestral home is Pingchang (now Linyi County, Dezhou, Shandong Province). A famous poet in Tang Dynasty. Meng Jiao's poems. Because most of his poems describe the cold world and the sufferings of the people, he is known as the "poet's prison" and is also known as the "thin suburban island" with Jia Dao. There are more than 500 poems by Meng, among which short stories and five ancient poems are the most.
Extended data:
The allusions of Jia Dao's scrutiny:
Jia Dao was a famous poet of Kuyin School in Tang Dynasty. The characteristic of bitter poets is that they often rack their brains and think hard about a poem or a sentence in it, at the expense of a lot of painstaking efforts and energy.
When Jia Dao first arrived in Beijing to take the imperial examination, he thought of a poem on the donkey's back: "Birds perch on trees by the pool, and monks knock at the door on the moon." At that time, he wanted to use the words "push" and "knock", but he didn't make a final decision after thinking for a long time, so he recited it repeatedly on the donkey's back, pushing and knocking.
Jia Dao's move caused many passers-by to watch, and people wondered what Jia Dao was doing. Han Yu, a great writer, temporarily acted as the local governor of Beijing. He was about to patrol with his horses and chariots. When he saw someone talking about something by the roadside and found another person drawing something, he asked his entourage to bring him here for questioning.
Jia Dao said he was writing a poem, but I'm not sure whether to use the word "push" or "knock" in the poem "Monks knocking at the door on the moon". Han Yu thought about it and said to Jia Dao, I think it is better to use the word "knock". Jia Dao adopted the opinion of Han Yu and decided to use the word "knock".

3. The story of the poet's poem There was a Chen Sheren in Bianjing, Northern Song Dynasty, who accidentally got an old collection of Du Fu's poems. He was a treasure. However, due to the poor preservation of this book, the words in many poems have fallen off. On one occasion, when Mr. Chen read Poems to Send a Captain Cai, he found that there was a word missing after the word "bird" in the sentence "one bird is light, one gun is urgent for thousands of people". He thought it over and over again, but he didn't know what it was.
One day, when he was talking about poetry with some poetry friends, he raised this question, hoping that everyone could make up the most appropriate word. Someone wrote a word "disease", which is considered to be the best expression of Cai's quick and brisk vertical jump. Some people think it is not good, because the pronunciation and meaning of the word "disease" in the previous sentence and the word "urgency" in the next sentence are too close, which seems a bit repetitive. Some people write the word "degree", but Chen Sheren thinks that the word "degree" is too blunt to show the characteristics of being as light as a bird. Some people even suggested using the words "health", "promotion" and "health", but everyone was not satisfied.
Later, Mr. Chen found a relatively complete collection of Du Fu's poems elsewhere and turned to Poems to Send Cai. It turned out that "a bird is lighter than a bird". The word "country" is the most appropriate word to describe Captain Cai's jumping high and fast, flying like a bird in front of his eyes.
4. What are the compatibility of Du Fu's inclusive poems? They are lyrical and epic, bold and graceful, and so on. Tolerance means: take things with different contents and different properties and keep them. Therefore, there are many contents that meet the requirements of inclusiveness.
What kind of inclusiveness do you want? Is it a "lyric epic" or "bold and graceful" or something else?
Du Fu's Three Officials and Three Farewells (three officials: Shi Haoguan, Xin 'an official, Tongguan official: newly married, homeless, leaving the old), Chedian, Two Roads and Spring Hope are all representative works that are both lyrical and epic. These poems are lyrical, and most of them express the passionate feelings of loving the motherland and the people and the lofty spirit of sacrificing oneself for others. At the same time, it profoundly reflects the social outlook of the Tang Dynasty from prosperity to decline, with rich social content, bright colors of the times and strong political inclination, reflecting a period of history. So they are both lyrical and epic.
