Du Fu's poem "Looking for Flowers Alone by the Riverside"

Looking for flowers by the river alone

Dynasty: Tang Dynasty Author: Du Fu

The water in front of the Yellow River flows eastward, giving people a sense of sleepiness and spring breeze in spring.

Clusters of peach blossoms bloom by the river. Are they dark red or light red?

What stands out is the beauty of peach blossom and the poet's aesthetic psychology of loving and enjoying flowers. First of all, the poet outlined a wonderful landscape painting, the towering Yellowstone Pagoda, standing tall; The flowing river flows eastward from the front of the tower, forming a vertical and horizontal geometric map. The tower is stationary; Jiang, it is flowing. The picture is dynamic and static, in contrast to the huge geometric shape, giving people a magnificent feeling. The water in front of the tower, indicating the direction, provides a broad space for the landscape description of the next sentence. Among them, the phrase "Yellowstone Tower is in front" is particularly important in creating an atmosphere. Lu You said in Notes on the Old Learning Temple: "Shu people call monks teachers and are buried in the tower, which is a sentence from Wu Shaoling's Huang Family in front of the tower." The monk died in the tower, and his reverence was mixed with some sadness.

However, after all, the poet is looking for spring, the weather is fine, the spring scenery is pleasant, he doesn't feel sleepy, and he leans against the wind to send elegance. The poet integrated himself with the great spring scenery with the word "leaning", reaching the perfect realm of lyric in the scene and lyric in the scene.

The following two sentences focus on peach blossoms. In the poet's pen, the peach blossoms are red, but the owner has passed away, and only loneliness follows. If the poet is not looking for flowers here, no one will appreciate him. Between the lines, there is a touch of sadness. This is in tune with the general tone of the seven quatrains. But after all, the focus of this poem is to write love flowers, so it also haunts the atmosphere of joy. The phrase "lovely crimson loves pale red" uses two words of love and two scarlet letters to express the poet's delight in the beauty of flowers, and ends with a rhetorical tone, which is not only interesting, but also from oneself and others, expanding the aesthetic scope and strengthening the aesthetic feeling. Yang Lun commented: "Qi language makes people want to die, and love stories are well written" (Volume 8 of Du Shi Jing Quan), which can be described as Ken. You Zhong, the founder of Ming Dynasty, also said: "Fifth,' spring is lazy and tired of the breeze' seems insoluble, but it is wonderful to have a taste other than worry and fear. Peach blossom without owner, lovely crimson? Light red? Let anyone choose. " ("Du Yi" Volume 4) If the first four of the seven quatrains describe the feelings of being tired of flowers, fearing spring, announcing spring and cherishing flowers respectively, then this one (the fifth one) expresses the joy of loving flowers and Shang Huashi. This description from sadness to joy has caused the ups and downs of rhythm and given people a novel aesthetic feeling. This kind of happiness did not end suddenly, but naturally extended backwards; In the next song, it reached its climax. Without it, there is a necessary emotional transition, which is a fly in the ointment.
