"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.
1, vernacular translation
Two orioles sang tactfully among the green willows, and a row of neat egrets went straight into the blue sky.
Sitting by the window, I saw snow all year round on Xiling Mountain, and Wu Donglai's ships, thousands of miles away, were moored in front of the door.
2. Introduction to Ancient Poetry
This quatrain was written by Du Fu, a famous poet in the Tang Dynasty, while living in Huanhuaxihu, Chengdu. It is the third poem in his group, which mainly describes the beautiful spring scenery around hutong. The first two sentences of the poet gave a subtle description of the beautiful scenery. In a few words, the poet missed his hometown because he saw Wuchuan.
In the first sentence, the oriole sang on the willow, and in the next sentence, the egret flew into the sky, broadening the space a lot, from bottom to top, from near to far. The above two sentences have pointed out that "the window contains Xiling autumn snow thousands of miles." It was early spring at that time, and the autumn snow in winter wanted to melt, giving readers a moist feeling. The last sentence further described Du Fu's complex mood at that time-saying that the ship came from "Soochow", which meant that the war was settled, the traffic resumed, and the poet was homesick when he saw things.
3. Introduction to the author
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. 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.
About 65,438+0,500 poems of Du Fu have been preserved, most of which are collected by Du Gongbu.
