Weather in Xiaban, Yongtai

Du Fu wrote this poem in Chang 'an occupied by An Lushan. Chang 'an fell, was caught by rebels halfway, and returned to Chang 'an. Fortunately, An Lushan ignored him, and he also managed to hide himself and preserve his integrity; But the painful mood and hard life still torment the poet. Shortly before writing this poem, Tang Jun, the ancient prime minister, led his troops to fight with the enemy in Chentaoxie and Qingban, and he was defeated, killing tens of thousands of people. The news spread quickly.

The beginning of the poem-"How many ghosts do you cry" highlights this sad fact. Since Fangfang was defeated and there was no hope of regaining Chang 'an for the time being, he had to add another layer of sorrow to the poet and could not talk to people casually. Therefore, the word "many" was used in the last sentence, indicating a heavy heart; In the next sentence, the word "alone" means that the environment is sinister.

Three or four sentences-"low dusk clouds, dancing in the snow", write the title on the front. Write the clouds at dusk first, and then the snow in the whirlwind. In this way, it is divided into levels, and the word "right" is shown in the title, suggesting that the poet sits alone in the room and sings repeatedly, and stays in the air from cloud to snow, full of sadness, as if intertwined with cold weather.

Then the poverty and hardship of the poet. "Gourd", called gourd in ancient poetry, is usually used to hold tea and wine. The bottle, also as a statue, is like a pot with a big mouth and a wine container. In the sentence, the word wine is replaced by the green color of wine. The poet was trapped in Chang 'an and had a hard time. I can't find a drop of wine in the cold. The gourd has long been thrown away, and the jar is empty. "The stove is burning like red", and there is no wood to burn. What is left is an empty stove. Here, the poet did not say that there was no fire in the furnace, but must say that there was "fire". He also wrote the word "red" to make it look like the fire was burning and the room was full of light, and then pointed out the dreamland with the word "image". It is unbearably cold, and there is only ashes in the furnace. Because of his longing for warmth, the poet had an illusion in front of him: a blazing fire in the stove burned his eyes red. This description, which is based on fantasy and out of nothing, deeply digs out the secret of the poet's inner world at this time. This is an illusion driven by the desire to satisfy. This makes it impossible to describe the unbearable cold, compared with "the furnace is as cold as ice" and so on. Because it is not limited to the factual description of objective things, it also integrates the poet's own subjective feelings and appropriately expresses the poet's thoughts and feelings, which not only achieves realism, but also achieves romance.

Finally, the poet boils down to his worries about the status quo. In 756-757 AD (the second year from Yuan Dynasty to Germany), the war between the Tang Dynasty and An Lushan and Shi Siming was launched in the middle reaches of the Yellow River. The overall situation was still unfavorable to Tang Jun, and the poet was trapped in Chang 'an, unable to know the news of the front-line war and the news of his wife and siblings. Therefore, he said that "the news of several States is broken" and ended the whole poem with "sitting in the middle of the book". "The book is empty" is the allusion of A Jin Yin Hao, which means that he feels sad and bored and draws words in the air with his hands. This poem shows Du Fu's deep concern for the fate of the country and his relatives, but he can't concentrate on it.
