Du Zhenyan's poetry collection has long been scattered, and only more than forty posthumous works have been recorded in later generations, and "Travels with Jinling Lu Cheng in Early Spring" is the highest evaluation among his poetry. The whole poem is written for reward and friends, so the form and content may have added some shackles. Even so, Du Zhenyan still expressed his meaning clearly, and the use of rhymes and couples is a masterpiece, which can be said to be very difficult.
The beginning of the poem points out that the person who is an official outside is touched by the phenological changes. A "single" and a "partial" write out how special this touch is, how difficult it is to be discovered: only those who are wandering as officials have this feeling, and those who live in their hometowns will never feel it. A word "shock" expresses the sadness and consternation in this kind of feeling.
The jaw and neck joints are written about the scenery, or the "phenology" of "shocking" to "eunuchs". These two couplets are written about the early spring sunshine, clouds, flowers, green rivers, yellow birds, duckweed, these are common scenes in early spring Jiangnan, but as the poet said, this common phenology is different from the hometown to touch the sadness of the wanderer. The poet's description of this spring scene is quite brief, but there are delicacies, magnificences, vivid and lovely, and the characteristics of early spring in Jiangnan are written.
However, the beauty of early spring in Jiangnan further sets off the melancholy of the wanderer, and the difference in phenology makes the poet more nostalgic for his hometown and more homesick. What is even more fatal is that the friend composed the song "Early Spring Tour" at this time, which was overheard overheard and deeply touched the poet's sadness. We don't know whether Lu Cheng's poems are also sentimental and nostalgic for his hometown, but the poet can't help himself when he listens to it.
Du Zhenyan said this poem, writing scene lyricism, love and scenery writing are well combined, quite powerful. And the jaw and neck are combined, the battle is harmonious and neat, and the pen is natural, and there is already the weather of the boom period of rhythmic poetry.
