Dissolve and ripple white gulls fly, green pure spring deep dyeing clothes. People from the south to the north come to grow old, and the sunset is long to send fishing boats back.
Du Mu was a famous poet of the late Tang Dynasty, he was born in a family of official eunuchs, and his grandfather was Du You, the prime minister. Du Mu became famous very early, but his career was bumpy, and he had nowhere to show his skills. In his spare time, he likes to write lyric poems, and by describing beautiful scenery, he expresses the bitterness of the passage of time and achieving nothing.
Some people say that his poems, "light and beautiful", seem to be a young woman, with a love pulse, and want to say hugh. However, this "Han River" is somewhat different, the first two sentences describe the spring color of the Han River, and the last two sentences express the helplessness of official life. Maybe he was reflecting on what kind of life He needed when He was old.
According to research, this poem was written in the fourth year of Kaicheng, that is, in 839 AD. Du Mu was in his 30s at the time. At the age of 33, the imperial court recruited him to supervise the imperial history and went to Luoyang as an official. After that, he was sent to Xuanzhou for a year, and the imperial court summoned him to Chang'an to serve as a historian. In this way, he transferred from Xuanzhou to Hanshui via Xunyang. All the way to the wind and dust servants, fortunately accompanied by spring colors, Xingzhi wrote this "Han River".
The ripples of water, said to be "dissolved and dissolved", will have a difference in feeling. When reading overlapping words, there is a sense of rhythm and movement. Moreover, the use of overlapping words can have a sense of intuitive image. Looking at Du Mu's poems, a dynamic picture appeared in front of his eyes.
The waters of the Han River ripple, occasionally skimming over a few white gulls. It is late spring, the river water is turquoise and clear, like a dye that can dye clothes, and the color is full and pure. Du Mu described the beauty of the Han River, pitching between heaven and earth, and had a strong ability to summarize. He grasps the colors and expresses the beauty of spring. Think about this picture, a deep turquoise green, a few white gulls flashing, what a healing scenery, let people forget their troubles.
Of course, when the troubles should come, they will come. Du Mu had not yet reached the age of 40, and he felt that he had begun to age. He thought of the caravans coming from south to north on the Han River, and unconsciously his hair became gray, and time slipped silently. He couldn't keep the spring light, and he couldn't keep the years. The setting sun seems to accompany the fishing boat to return home, who can accompany Du Mu until the sky is barren. Eunuch sea ups and downs, running around, is it really his nostalgic life?
Du Mu finished writing the Han River in the third year, that is, in 842 AD. He was ostracized by Li Deyu and sent to Huangzhou. Li Deyu was the leader of the "Li Party," and Du Mu had a good personal relationship with niu monks and children. When the DPRK-China party reached the moment of sword tension, Du Mu became a "victim." Although being released as an official can escape the disaster, it also means staying away from the capital and losing the opportunity for promotion.
Du Mu gradually grew old, there was no sunset, no fishing boat, only a lonely sad person, pretending to be dashing, and staggering forward in helplessness.
