Third, the source of the author

Author du fu? Two quatrains in Tang Dynasty

Extended information 1. Creation background

This group of poems was written in the spring of 764, the second year of Guangde, Tang Daizong. In the first year of Baoying, Tang Suzong (762), Chengdu Yin entered the DPRK, and turmoil occurred in Shu. Du Fu once avoided Zizhou (treating Santai in Sichuan). In the second year, the Anshi Rebellion was put down. A year later, Yanwu returned to Chengdu and went to Shu again. Du Fu learned the news of this old friend and followed him back to Chengdu Caotang.

At this time, Du Fu's mood was particularly comfortable. Faced with a vibrant scene, he couldn't help writing this group of impromptu poems. Du Yi of Wang Siyuan in the late Ming Dynasty said that this group of poems was "built after living in the thatched cottage, and it is planned to spend the rest of my life here, but I said so".

Second, the appreciation of works

Tao Yukai, a poetry theorist in the Qing Dynasty, pointed out in his book On Du Fu that there are many works in Du Fu's anthology that "take poetry as painting". This five-character quatrain written in Chengdu Caotang is a very poetic masterpiece. At the beginning of the poem, I began to use ink from a big place, depicting the beautiful spring scenery around Huanhuaxi under the bright sunshine in early spring. This pen is simple and colorful.

Here is used to highlight the sunshine in early spring, so as to control the whole. At the same time, the word "Li" is used to dye "Jiangshan", which shows the beautiful scenery of beautiful spring and green streams reflecting the sun. Although this is a sketch, the bottom of the pen is a spring swing.

This five-character quatrain is bright and beautiful in artistic conception and fresh in style. The whole poem is neat, but natural and smooth, without carving; Describing the beautiful scenery without trace is a unique chapter in Du Ji.

The artistic feature of this poem is to write sadness with joy. Only by saying that spring is harmonious can we compare the poet's eagerness to return home. It does not reveal homesickness directly from the scenery, but compares the poet's deep homesickness with the difference between objective scenery and subjective feelings.
