What did Du Mu describe on Tanabata?

Tanabata Du Mu's Tanabata is about the life of a palace maid who has fallen out of favor. She is lonely, but helpless. There are too many beautiful women in the palace. She doesn't know when she will be favored, let alone whether she will stay in the cold palace all her life.

Tanabata Dum

The first two sentences of the poem describe the bleak scene in the deep palace. One autumn night, the light from the white candle was very weak, and I was the only one around. The screen under the candlelight was getting colder and colder. A lonely maid-in-waiting is driving flying fireflies away with a small fan. The ancients said that fireflies always like to fly around in the wild grass, which is a metaphor for the desolation of the place where maids are located.

It can be seen from the action of the maid-in-waiting to drive away the fireflies that she also feels lonely. She had nothing to do, so she had to chase fireflies to get rid of loneliness and kill boring years. From the fact that the maid-in-waiting still holds a fan in autumn, it can be said that in the palace, the maid-in-waiting has forgotten the time and was abandoned for a long time. Autumn fans also symbolized the abandonment of wives in ancient times.

In the third sentence, it is written that the night is already deep and it is time to go to bed, but the maid-in-waiting is still sitting and looking up at the cowherd and weaver girl in the sky. Such a fairy tale may be the love that the maid-in-waiting expects, or it may be because of the touching story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, which reminds her of her own misfortune and the yearning for love in the past. Now all her troubles can only be pinned on looking up.

There are one or three sentences describing the scenery in the whole poem, which makes the desolation of the cold palace in late autumn real and objective, and a word "cold" brings all the feelings together. Although there are no direct lyric sentences about the mood of maids, we can clearly see the sadness and yearning for love expressed by maids through their own actions, which also reflects the irrationality of this system in the feudal dynasty.

What's Du Mu's name? Because Du Mu lived in South Fan Chuan Villa in Chang 'an in his later years, he was later called "Du Fanchuan". Du Mu's name is Fan Chuan, and he is the author of Fan Chuan's Collected Works. Fan Chuan is a plain in the south of Xi 'an, between Shaoling Cemetery and Shenhe Garden. The crystal clear Chonghe River runs through it, just like a green belt drifting westward. Riverbanks are often full of flowers, which are bright and dazzling, with the beauty of architecture, traffic and trees.

With the change of seasons, the scenery on both sides of the strait also makes people feel delicious, and the unique mature atmosphere of birds and flowers and crops is intoxicating.

The hilly landform of Shenheyuan in the west looks picturesque; In the eastern side of the Shaoling Mausoleum, villagers settled there, and the cottages were connected, giving a panoramic view of the farmhouse scenery. Between the two places, there is an antique temple, and the tower in the temple rises into the sky, which makes people feel nostalgic.

Fan Chuan is the fief of Fan Kuai, a famous Western Han Dynasty. Du Mu lived here and left many legendary poems and stories. Du Mu called himself "Fan Chuanweng" and named his work "Fan Jichuan". Fan Chuan has beautiful scenery since ancient times. In addition, Buddhism was popularized in the Tang Dynasty, and many temples were built here. Later, the Duke Temple was built here to add flowers to the beautiful wells in Fan Chuan.

Fanchuan has four different beautiful seasons, and spring is the most beautiful. In spring in Fan Chuan, the willows have just turned green, and the wheat fields just catch up with the growing season. Peach blossoms make the whole world blush, which makes people fascinated and linger. No wonder Du Mu chose to live here in his later years. Imagine a busy day, surrounded by such scenery and flowers, which makes people forget fatigue and sadness.

Du Mu's poems can be divided into two types, one is heroic and the other is romantic. The former is often sad when describing, sometimes mourning the past, sometimes sentimental, and expressing various thoughts and feelings. The latter records different scenes with fresh style, and the tone of the poem is mainly praise.

Artistic conception of Du Mu's poems

Du Mu has been worried about the country and the people all his life and is full of ambition. Coupled with his delicacy and emotion, Du Mu's poems are beautiful and elegant, which is unparalleled in the late Tang Dynasty, and even can't find the second place in the whole Tang Dynasty.

Du Mu can find the unique beauty in the daily landscape, and can find the artistic conception that best conforms to the current tone. He endowed poetry students with spirituality through picture description and emotional sustenance. Praise for nature is also the embodiment of Du Mu's own ambition, and his poems often contain Du Mu's true feelings about the late Tang Dynasty.

In the expression of poetry, Du Mu often uses straightforward fu to reason, which is also the reason why Du Mu's poetry has a bold and handsome style. His poems are vivid and infectious, which is closely related to his good use of metaphors, good expression of feelings in scenery, good use of scenery expression techniques and good contrast.

Influenced by Du Fu and Han Yu, Du Mu's ancient poems integrated narrative, discussion and lyricism, and formed their own style, mixed with discussion in the form of prose. Du Mu's poems became the learning goal of later generations.

Du Mu's quatrains have achieved great success and enjoyed a high reputation, which is admired by people. The world also speaks highly of his quatrains. Du Mu's lyrical scenery and beautiful artistic conception have surpassed the level of quatrains in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Du Mu is good at extracting the essence from the beautiful images of natural scenery. His quatrains are harmonious, implicit and concise, which are catchy to read and are deeply loved by people.

Du Mu's poem "Peaches and plums are silent, and the next time you do it yourself" is a rare allusion in Du Mu's poem. The original sentence said that the peach blossoms and plums all over the tree attracted people to stop and watch, and the footprints of tourists under the tree formed a path.

Purple osmanthus

Du Mu's poems are uncharacteristic. He contrasted the blooming peaches and plums with the flowers in Wei Zi, which was very creative. Although he is showing readers the blooming form of Wei Zihua, there is not a word related to Wei Zihua in the whole poem. Readers are amazed at the poet's exquisite expression skills and feel the beauty of Wei Zi's flowers.

Wisteria is only willing to be that unique beauty. Just like a poet, when the poetic style declined in the late Tang Dynasty, he was not influenced by himself. Ziwei flower does not compete with flowers, but is a conservative and elegant character. This is also the poet's own determination to warn the world.

Keep your heart and not be disturbed by the external atmosphere. This poem was praised by later generations as a masterpiece praising Wei Zi because of its unique expression, and Du Mu himself was named "Du Weizi".

Osmanthus fragrans mostly blooms in midsummer. Although it is sunny, it blooms like fire. Breeze blowing, sweet-scented osmanthus in full bloom, charming and moving. Osmanthus fragrans is mostly displayed in purple, white, pink and other colors, bringing a touch of bright color to the hot summer days. But the purple flower is its orthodox color, so it is called Wei Zi.

In the last two sentences of the poem, Du Mu said that the prosperity of peaches and plums disappeared with the disappearance of spring. At the beginning, only fragments of branches were left, and only Lagerstroemia indica accompanied them. Du Mu praised Lagerstroemia indica for its long flowering period, giving people an eternal beauty. After seeing all the flashy flowers, looking at this unique scenery seems to be a beautiful experience and a calm state of mind.

Send away Du Mu's "Send away" is a seven-character quatrain written by Du Mu when he was the judge of Xuanzhou Yong Lian.

Send Du Mu far away.

The first two sentences reveal the inner peace and harmony of the boatman and the loneliness of the boatman to some extent by describing the emptiness of the river, the calmness of the water surface and the remoteness of the water when the poet rowed. The perennial peaceful environment has smoothed his edges and corners, and behind the ease is loneliness and loneliness that does not compete with the world.

The breeze blows on the face, and the clouds are dispersed by the wind. Due to the disappearance of clouds, the sky is getting farther and farther away from us. The coolness of this autumn has shaken the original calm of travelers and started to be restless, because the loneliness of coolness has become a bit biting.

Just as the traveler was feeling sad, he suddenly saw a woman looking at the railing upstairs by the river. It turns out that some lonely people are beginning to feel relieved. Seeing such a beautiful scenery on the river, the loneliness of traveling can not help but be diluted a lot. The sudden appearance of a woman has aroused people's infinite reverie, and people have speculated whether she is an infatuated woman waiting for her husband's return.

The uncertainty of the image of "building tea by the river" here provides conditions for rich association and meaningful poetry, and shows us the unique scenery under special conditions. It will not be out of place with the surrounding scenery, but will be the finishing touch.

It makes the artistic conception of poetry more meaningful and intriguing, and readers will certainly get the satisfaction of artistic appreciation from this special situation, and may send blessings, hoping that women and husbands will come together, and may think of the romance and sweetness of their wives and couples at home. This will help to dilute the silence and fatigue during the journey.
