This poem was written in the early autumn of Du Fu's second year in Kuizhou (the second year of Dali). He told two friends about his experience in Kuizhou. One was Shen Zheng, a former minister who lived in Jiangling (now jiangling county, Jingzhou), and the other was Li Zhifang, a guest of the Prince, who lived in Yiling (now Yiling District, Yichang). Du Fu defended himself in this long letter. In the spring of the third year of Dali, Du Fu set a boat out of the gorge and went to Jiangling to make a living.
Never fortress the northern part of Uman and the border with Dungubaiti.
The stunning scenery is today's Kuizhou in Fengjie, Chongqing, which was a wasteland at that time. Baidicheng, located in the suburb of Kuizhou, is the site of the ancient city where Gongsun Shu proclaimed himself emperor.
It has been three years since I lost my life.
Lao Du said that he was still wandering on the road and suffered from diabetes (some people say it is diabetes) for three years.
The male sword opened the box and the ship was full of books.
Du Fu used his sword to express his ambition, and he still sang from time to time. Shu Qun said that he had been studying continuously for three years.
Chaos is centrifugal, and decline is bleak.
However, since the rebellion (Anshi Rebellion, Shu Rebellion), my mood has been very heavy, and the older I get, the more useless I am.
My wife's strong demand, moved by the elites in these years.
My wife and children care about my physique, and I also feel that youth is far away from me.
Find more on the chessboard and cultivate poetry.
But I still like to climb mountains to see the scenery, and then write the scenery in my poem-(hereinafter write Kuizhou scenery).
The canyon originated from the Cangjiang River, with many strange rocks and towering ancient trees.
(For example, the scenery I wrote is like this:) Qutang Gorge tightly clamps the Yangtze River water, and the ancient trees growing on the cliff also bow around one by one (the circle is the shape of the bent trunk, not the circle).
Clouds filled the air and the sea moved for five days.
(branches of ancient trees) stir the clouds and look gloomy; The river flows from here to the sea, and it will take some time to reach Jiangsu.
Boiling well has deviation in salt rate and burning rate.
It is convenient for people here to cook salt in salt wells, but the fields are barren and farmers still live a slash-and-burn life.
Sometimes it's amazing where to find Pingchuan.
Sometimes I'm afraid there are mountains everywhere. Where can I find the plain?
? Both of them danced, and the ape hung on the base.
All kinds of waterfowl fly around in pairs, and apes dangle upside down on trees (monkeys hook trees with their tails and scoop water with their hands when drinking water).
Robbie looks like a ribbon, and brocade is as small as money.
There are ragweed as long as a belt and colored stones as small and round as copper coins.
When the spring grass does not rest, the cold flowers are pitiful.
There are green grass all year round, and flowers in winter are more lovely. (Poor, lovely)
Hunters blow fire, and wild shops draw mountain springs.
The hunters sang by the campfire, and the inn in the wilderness drank the spring water flowing down from the mountain.
Wake up and scratch your head and help you put it on a few times.
Every morning, I feel that my hair is much thinner, and my shoes are worn out by the mountain road that my son is holding.
The two cities are still thin, and the four seas are absolutely on a par.
I have several acres of land in Chang 'an and Luoyang, but I wander around the world. Those land attributes are all the same to me (speaking of friends, they are far away from me).
In the early days of the shogunate, Lang Guan was fortunate to have aides.
When we were in Bo, I did something in the Yanwu shogunate. Moreover, the court also hung an idle official who was a proofreader.
When the melon is ok, it is flat and bitter.
When it's time to go back (Guashi is an allusion in Zuo Zhuan, and Guashi is the season in Enemy at the Gates), I'm still wandering, looking for a place to rely on like a grass.
The bait is empty and messy, and the autumn wind is quiet.
I took a lot of medicine, but none of them worked. Only when the autumn wind blows, will I feel much more comfortable (it was very hot that summer, and Du Fu wrote several poems, all describing the days when the heat was unbearable).
Open the chest to drive away the furuncle, clear the eyes and sweep away the clouds and smoke.
In the autumn wind, I unbuttoned my clothes to get rid of the infected boils; My eyes are brighter and brighter.
A high banquet is a ceremony for ministers, and beauty is in front of guests.
I also attended the banquet of Bai Maolin, the governor of Kuizhou, and hung out with distinguished guests and beautiful women (the beautiful women and guests were in front of me).
Sad Zheng hurts the boss, and the beautiful house is immortal.
What makes me sad is that I have become an old man, and the beauty in the gorgeous room is as amazing as a fairy. (Talking about Governor Bai's immortal luxury life)
Kaiyuan Opera in Nannei is often handed down by disciples.
At the banquet, I also heard the music played by Xuanzong in Xingqing Palace during the Kaiyuan period, and the disciples of Yueguan at that time circulated here (three months later, Du Fu wrote "Watching Gong Sundaniang's disciples dance swords", which also showed this scene).
French songs have changed, and the room is full of tears.
French songs are songs with western characteristics and accompanied by percussion instruments. This kind of music was very popular at the beginning of Kaiyuan, so Du Fu said that after listening to this kind of music, everyone missed the prosperity of Kaiyuan and shed tears.
Hanging shadow out of Zhangzhou, ileum fried Duqu.
And I not only miss the prosperous times, but also feel my loneliness in Kuizhou and miss Chang 'an Duqu (Du Fu has fields in Duqu).
Even today's dragon stables are full of water, so don't bring dogs.
I sincerely hope that from now on, the moat water in Chang 'an will never be polluted by the stench of nomadic people again! (Four years ago, Tubo captured Chang 'an)
Geng Jia helped the royal family, and Xiaocao was in charge of the royal banquet.
I would rather let generals like Geng Yan and Jia Fu help the Tang Dynasty and politicians like Xiao He and Cao Can be around the emperor.
Use your strength to kill bees and stings, and make great efforts to help eagles and owls.
Make use of the national prestige of Datang to destroy the brave and stubborn enemies, and hope that the soldiers of Datang will make contributions to the country like eagles.
The old things are still there, and the murderer is not evil.
Old things are the rule of law in the country. Killers are enemies of buffer zones and nomads. The rule of law is strict, but the enemy has not repented.
The country must go to war, and people will forget it.
The state must wage a resolute struggle against them, and the people also hope that after eliminating the wicked, they can be peaceful from now on without using force. (The Significance of World Peace after World War I)
What are the manners of slaves? Honor, shame and power.
However, eunuchs are slaves of the emperor. How can they be given so much power? It is wrong for the emperor to do so! (The Tang Dynasty perished in the buffer region and eunuchs, and Du Fu was insightful. An Lushan is a slave of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, which is a copy of Hu Xing. Slaves should refer to the eunuchs favored by the Zong Dynasty and the leader of the Shence Army, Cheng Yuanzhen)
Hu Xing was stunned, and the leader of Guizhou was arrested.
In those days, the Anshi rebellion was like a comet, rebelling and rebelling, and the people still have no life.
Sorrow and sorrow, troubles and harsh laws.
The emperor should punish himself and complicated laws should be abolished! (Three years ago, after Tubo withdrew from Chang 'an, he once wrote a letter to himself. )
When you become the king of Chen Shi, you are lucky.
Poetry, calligraphy and ceremony (from poetry to ceremony) are the beginning of kingly way. The divination of the official servant shows that the court will get an outstanding sage to assist the Tang Dynasty (just as Zhou Wenwang met Jiang Ziya in that year, and the divination shows that "it is neither a bear nor a horse").
Palace economy is intensive, and the steps are worn out.
The palace and the court will be strict and meticulous about this.
Xiong Bi with Lv Wang, Hongyan Meizhou Xuan.
Come on, Jiang Ziya! I want to write a poem like "Wild Goose" to praise Zhou Xuanwang (the master of the revival of the Western Zhou Dynasty, compared with the Xinhui generation)!
Those who listen to the Lord and sing for a long time are not wise.
Zhongxing Lord! Great Sage! Come on, arrival! Zhongxing Lord! Great Sage! Come on, arrival! Zhongxing Lord! Great Sage! Come on, arrival! Zhongxing Lord! Great Sage! Come on, arrival! (If Emperor Daizong saw this scene, he would definitely say, "I am very relieved, I love your country faithfully, and then I will go back to the harem to communicate with the concubines day and night and hand over the state affairs to the eunuchs."
The above is the first paragraph, introducing myself in Kuizhou and talking about loyalty and patriotism. Let's start talking to two friends-
There are thousands of prisons in the road.
Brother Zheng lives in Yizhangguan (in Jiangling), brother Li lives in Xiagaoguan (in Yiling), and the Yangtze River water connects our hearts! (intimate but tactful)
Zheng said that I didn't write the article first.
Zheng Ge and Li Ge are both celebrities today, and their articles are comparable to mine. (Flatter others and brag)
Yin Qing province, Shen Song.
These two brothers, like Yin Keng He Xun and Shen Quanqi Song Wenzhi, not only have the same literary name, but also are in front of officials, which makes me envious!
The method wins the Kunlun bamboo, and the sound knows the dry and wet strings.
The two poems are the rhythm of Kunlun bamboo, and the words are delicate, just like the sound difference between water and waterless strings can be distinguished! (metaphor for four tones and eight diseases)
Love is expensive, but it is forgotten for a long time.
Every poem can fetch a good price, and reading it is a spiritual enjoyment for me!
It is common to set up posts, with covers and covers.
Zheng Xiong's ancestor Zheng Dangshi often did the same. Brother Li has boarded the Longmen of the ancestor of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Although the clouds are separated, I dare not fall around.
Although I haven't contacted you for a long time, I dare not write to greet you.
Respect people, but also be modest and have a mysterious taste.
The two brothers are ambitious, like to communicate, and like to talk about Zhuangzi and Qing Xu's theory. (then tout)
Horses are bloody, cranes are green.
Friends I have made all say that a thousand miles of horses and cranes are flying.
Wings come from Shangshan, Penglai Welding and Cutting Company.
The two men must have a successful career in the near future, and they have been recruited by the court to be big officials in Beijing! (This is a great compliment)
Ning Guan shamao net, Jiangling brocade robe fresh.
Guan Ning compared Shen Zheng and President Jiang compared Li Zhifang.
Dongjun is on the wall and Nanhu is on the dock.
Dongjun refers to Jiangling, east of Kuizhou. Nanhu Lake is a lake in Jiangling. Shen is buying a villa by the lake.
Put all your eggs in one basket when traveling far away, and a good sentence will be dyed in Chinese.
(I flatter others and then say myself) I travel all over the world, and my poetry is ok. (It makes sense to say that these two sentences are still flattering Zheng Li. )
Every desire to fly solo is only for fear.
I always want to be a sandpiper, in the wide world! It's a pity that I always have all kinds of worries in my heart.
Life is scarce, and the pace of the country is staggering.
I have been like this all my life, and the fate of poor countries is still very difficult!
When the pillows were in ruins, the pond was abandoned.
The place where I used to live was overgrown with weeds and the pond was deserted.
Parting sad, tears streaming down her face.
If you leave your brother, you can cry when you worship your ancestors. (The second part says ancestors)
Dew chrysanthemum class rich pickaxe, autumn vegetable shade creek.
My ancestral home is Chang 'an Duqu (Fenghao), and my grandfather's father's grave is Luoyang Gongxian (Jianzhuo)!
* * * Who talked about the past? There are new buildings in several places.
Who are you talking about the past with? There are new graves of relatives and friends in several places! (This sentence is unlucky. Shen Zheng Li Zhifang should not be happy to read it. Du Fu's poems are well written, but his speech is still too honest and straightforward. )
Look back with wealth and be lazy with a whip.
Old friends are dying and frustrated.
War and chaos, Jianghan is a trickle.
There is still peace between Jianghan in the four seas (Jiangling is still good, Du Fu imagined it beautifully when he didn't go to Jiangling, but it was not as good as Kuizhou when he went there, so he had to go downstream, so he came to Yueyang Hengyang in Changsha and finally died on a passenger ship).
Squeeze the autumn swallow and listen to the cicada in the evening.
Qiu Yan, we have to go. Late cicada, singing bleak, it's getting late.
Carving insects makes you remember, cooking carp makes you ask Shen Mian.
Two friends still remember that I can write two poems about carving insects and seal cutting, and have been writing letters to greet my recent situation.
Bu Xianjun flattened his staff and stole the blanket.
Du Fu has a crutch, which was given to him by Zhang Yi on Zizhou Festival. He envied Yan Junping's crutch because he could exchange it for copper coins. And there is only one blanket left at home (Wang Xianzhi sleeps at night, thieves come to visit, and before he leaves, Wang Xianzhi says, dude, you can take other things, please leave me the green blanket).
The bag is empty and the rice is full of flowers.
Having no money and no food, he sold his wife's jewelry (his wife is so kind to him! )
Ganzi has cool leaves and Maozhai has eight or nine rafters.
The citrus trees in my orchard are growing well, but the house is enough.
The array of sand on the north shore is the peak of the west.
The site of Zhuge Liang's Eight Commandments is not far from where I live, and the market is also nearby (according to the advertisements of developers now, the cultural circle and business circle all occupy ...)
The fetters are often broken, and it is good to be ill late.
But I often feel fettered in my heart, but I am in Kuizhou and my illness is getting better. (Perhaps in Du Fu's mind, Kuizhou is just a place to recuperate. )
Purple harvest Ling Min taro, white land pool lotus.
Purple potato in Ling Min, white lotus root in Luchi. ...
Pears with good colors are better than cheeks, chestnuts are better than fists.
There are red and yellow pears and fist-sized chestnuts in it. ...
The only smell of a kitchen is full or three times.
Those servants always taste the same when cooking, and they often eat fish for three meals. ...
Children go to see the fish, and people come to sit in stirrups.
Children catch fish with bamboo baskets, and there is no stool to sit on at home, so they sit on the saddle (isn't this good? )
Bound Chai Men narrow and narrow, bamboo slips slowly.
The door tied with branches is very narrow, and the spring water taken from the mountain by bamboo pipes is a little trickle.
The gully reaches the edge of the public boundary, and the village is adjacent to the wild temple.
The imperial commons I am in charge of is on the edge of the cliff, and there is a wild temple next to Xiqin Village where I live.
Lack of hedges will repel thorns and stones will be entangled in vines.
The fence was broken. I found some thorns to stop it. The low wall of the stone foundation was not covered with vines, which played a reinforcing role.
How can you sleep soundly if you ask questions frequently?
I just want to ask, how can a minister who attends court at four o'clock every day be compared with me sleeping until I wake up naturally (and drinking some wine)?
Those who can't catch the clouds can become stronger by consciously sitting.
Who says I have no place to live for the rest of my life? I feel that Kuizhou can continue to live.
The fog and rain are astringent, and the powder is beautiful.
But I think I am still the foreign minister of the proofreading department of the imperial court. I'm still looking forward to the breeze and drizzle at the silver platform and white wall red courtyard of Shangshufu! (This sentence is true. Du Fu left Kuizhou and wanted to go back to Chang 'an. Du Fu's poem Jing Quan says that Du Fu didn't look at it intentionally.
Not far from the purple mountains, yellowbirds wander freely.
I'm the foreign minister. Actually, it doesn't matter whether I go back or not. I'm just a puppet. So I am like a yellowbird, flying and flying at will.
Learning is contrary to conformity, and the masses and the masses are encouraged.
But the truth I have learned in my life is still contrary to the public (unwilling to do as the Romans do). The two Gong Ming must encourage each other to return to Beijing!
China's voice is extremely embarrassing, and sooner or later it will catch the stars.
The two famous emperors must have heard of it, so sooner or later, they will become big officials of the three public officials!
Sincerely remonstrate and stay calm, and Confucianism leads to piety.
Honesty can be compared with Kuang Heng's words, and his knowledge has caught up with piety!
But if you lose, it will be Zheng Tao Zhen.
As long as you develop an honest and frank character, the political laws and regulations of all countries will be fair and just.
The night is full of sorrow, and Tang gaozu is miserable.
The emperor is worried about state affairs, and the people are suffering at this time. I need two people to help me! )
Yuntai painted all day, and Qing Jian compiled it for whom.
At that time, there must be two figures on Lingyun Pavilion, and their great achievements must go down in history! !
The above is the second paragraph, the main content is to praise the talents and character of the two friends, and also to give them great hope of serving the country. There are more details about Du Fu's life in Kuizhou. This is me-
What is hard to have? It is dedicated to seeking happiness.
With you two, national affairs will no longer be difficult. As for me, my interest in traveling is still very strong (more and more strong).
Starting from the origin, I intend to temporarily control the strings.
I have prepared a boat for Xiaxia, but I just want to stay for a while before I leave Kuizhou. Bow strings are arrows, indicating that the ship is fast. Holding a bow and arrow for a while means staying for a while.
I am in Shuangfeng Temple, begging seven ancestors to meditate.
I was admitted to Shuangfeng Temple (I don't know where Shuangfeng Temple is, there are three versions in qi zhou, Hubei, Changsha, Hunan, and Shaoguan, Guangdong), and I am going to worship the seven ancestors of Zen (there are three versions in any one of the seven groups of Shenhui, Puji and Huairang) as a teacher.
The sail fell and chased after it, and the clothes brown explained to the truth.
Zen will stop my spiritual wandering, and I should be willing to wear coarse clothes to explore the truth of Buddhism in my later years.
An Shi sealed Gao Jin and Zhao went to Yan.
Brother Zheng, you are as lofty as Xie An in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and your brother Li is more virtuous.
The road is not Ruan Ji, but Zhang Qian.
If I came to Jiangling and had two people to take care of me, I wouldn't cry as poor as Ruan Ji; But I took a boat all the way to Zhang Qian, which was similar to serving tea in Tianhe (according to the legend of Wei and Jin Dynasties, Zhang Qian once took a boat to Petunia Lodge).
It is better to stay in the clouds than to stay for a long time.
When I think of my friends in Jiangling, I feel like a cloud to see the sun; I have lived in Kuizhou for a long time, and it won't take long.
The wind and waves are rushing, and Murphy, the monster, drools.
When the time comes, I will ride the wind and waves, and no matter how sinister the Three Gorges is, I can't help it.
He bid farewell to the goddess and feared the cuckoo.
In the near future, I will definitely bid farewell to goddess peak in Wuxia and leave Kuizhou in the spring when Du Fu is singing. Du Fu loves Du Fu very much and thinks that he is the incarnation of Du Yu, the king of Shu.
Light friendship will gather and disperse, and Zeguo will turn around.
The way I make friends with you must be "a friendship between gentlemen is as light as water"; The river at the foot of Jiangling City, where my boat must stay.
As it depends on Ye Jia, I never borrowed it.
I have always been deeply interested in Buddhism and think Taoism is unreliable.
The furnace peak turns to the side, and the orange well turns to the high.
Taoist alchemy places, such as furnace peak and orange well, have good scenery, but they are difficult to reach. There are too few people who become immortals, so it is better to learn Buddhism.
East to the poor to the crane, south to the kite.
Only Ding, a poor crane, flew from Liaodong, but if he flew to his toes, he would also be smoked to death in the tropical rain forest by miasma (signing his toes and seeing the flying kite fall into the water and die).
It's wonderful to hear it at night, but it was hard to stop it before.
After listening to many wonderful methods (Zen) in my later years, I decided to try my best to alleviate my early mistakes.
Gu Kaidan is in the blue column, and Toutuo is in the blue column.
There are paintings by Gu Kaizhi in the temple, as well as inscriptions on the monk's head, all of which are the best works of art..
The incense was dark, and it smelled of sand in several places.
The temple is rich in sandalwood and the surrounding atmosphere is solemn.
Courage is the ultimate goal of the heart, and the body is awake.
In Buddhism, I can understand all the thoughts and intentions of the mind, and my body is pinned on weaknesses. (Courage is the expression of restlessness, and Buddhism pays attention to transcending courage and "creating great courage". Great courage is great wisdom. )
The gold comb was empty and scarred, but the mirror never left the door.
Buddhism is like a golden grate for treating eye diseases, just like an image in a mirror. I haven't paid attention yet! I really want to study Buddhism further.
The third paragraph above fully expresses Du Fu's yearning for Zen in his later years. However, Du Fu thinks that he is a secular person and can't reach the spiritual realm of Zen (Du Fu is based on Confucianism and naturally feels that he can't "leave his post").
