Background Climbing of Du Fu's Ancient Poems in Tang Dynasty

The background of "Ascending the Mountain" is that this poem was written in the autumn of the second year of Dali (767) and Du Fu was in Kuizhou. This was written by a 56-year-old poet in extreme embarrassment. At that time, four years had passed since the Anshi Rebellion, but local warlords took the opportunity to compete for territory with each other.

1, full text of uphill

The wind is fast and high, the ape cries sadly, and the birds are circling in the white sand.

The endless trees are rustling leaves, and the Yangtze River is rolling unpredictably.

Li in the sad autumn scenery, a wanderer all the year round, lives alone on the high platform in today's illness.

After all the hardships and hatred, the white hair is full, and the wine glasses are damaged.

2. Translation of Climbing the Mountain

It is very sad that there are birds hovering on the river with clear water and white sand.

Endless trees are rustling leaves, and endless Yangtze River is rolling in.

Sad to autumn, I feel that Wan Li has been wandering all the year round and has been sick all his life. Today, he is alone on the high platform.

After a lot of hardships, white hair is full of temples, and the cup is hanging.

3. Mountain climbing appreciation

The whole poem tells the poet's complex feelings of wandering, old illness and loneliness for many years through mountaineering, which is impassioned and touching.

The first four sentences of this poem are about climbing mountains. The first couplet is right. Focusing on the specific environment of Kuizhou, the poet used the word "wind rush" to drive the All-China Federation, and from the very beginning, he wrote a quatrain that was told for generations. Kuizhou is famous for its many apes, and the canyon is famous for its windy weather.

It is cool in autumn, but it is windy here. When the poet climbed the mountain, the sound of "high apes whistling" came from the gorge, which means "the empty valley spread and the sorrow turned into the sky". The poet moved his eyes from the heights to the rivers and lakes, and on the background of clear water and white sand, he was dotted with birds dancing with the wind and never looking back. This is really a beautiful painting.

Du Fu's brief introduction and achievements;

1, Du Fu's profile

Du Fu (A.D. 7 12- A.D. 770), with beautiful words, called himself a young man with a young age. Han nationality, originally from Xiangyang, is from Gongxian County, Henan Province (now Gongyi, Henan Province). A great realistic poet in Tang Dynasty, together with Li Bai, was called "Du Li". In order to distinguish Li Shangyin, Du Mu and Xiao Du Li, Du Fu and Li Bai are also called Da Du Li, and Du Fu is often called Lao Du.

2. Du Fu's achievements

Du Fu's middle-aged poems are called "the history of poetry" because of his gloomy poetic style and feelings of worrying about the country and the people. Du Fu's poems, composed of 36 poems about immortals in Qing Dynasty, are good at ancient style and metrical poems with diverse styles. They accurately summed up his own work style with the words "depressed and frustrated", mainly depression.

Du Fu lived in the historical period from prosperity to decline in the Tang Dynasty. Most of his poems involve social unrest, political darkness and people's sufferings. His poems reflected the social contradictions and people's sufferings at that time. His poems recorded the historical changes of the Tang Dynasty from prosperity to decline, and expressed the lofty Confucian spirit of benevolence and strong sense of hardship, so they were called "the history of poetry".
