Du Fu, with his profound emotions, outstanding talent and broad vision, has left us many immortal poems. His "Eight Songs of Autumn Xing", the first poem with its strong autumn mood and deep emotion, is intoxicating and difficult to extricate himself.
"The jade dew withers the maple forest, and the Wushan Wuxia is bleak", the first two sentences make people feel the bleakness and gloom of autumn. The gyokuro erodes the maple forest, causing the maple leaves to wither and mutilate, and a poignant autumn picture unfolds in front of you. And the gloomy Wushan and Wuxia are even more chilling. The word "Xiao Sen" here is not only a description of the autumn scenery, but also a portrayal of the poet's inner emotions, revealing a depressed and sad mood.
The next "waves between the rivers and the sky, plugging the wind and clouds and the earth", further shows the magnificent scene in front of the poet's eyes. The waves on the surface of the river are so monstrous that they seem to be connected to the sky, and the wind and clouds on the plug seem to press down on the ground, making the sky and the earth gloomy. This description not only reflects the poet's awe and praise for nature, but also implies the poet's inner turmoil and anxiety.
"Cong Ju opens his tears twice, and the lonely boat is the heart of the hometown", which is the emotional core of the whole poem. When the poet saw Cong Ju blooming twice, he couldn't help but recall the past years, and endless tears welled up in his heart. The lonely boat symbolizes the poet's wandering life, and it is tightly tied to the heart of the poet's hometown. The "old garden" here is not only the longing for Chang'an, but also the memories and nostalgia of the prosperous times in the past. Through the imagery of Cong Ju and the lonely boat, the poet vividly shows his inner world, which makes people feel his deep homesickness and sadness for the passing time.
In the end, "The cold clothes are urging the knife ruler everywhere, and the White Emperor City is in a hurry at dusk", with the production of the winter clothes and the sound of the twilight anvil, the emotion of the whole poem is pushed to a climax. The production of winter clothes hints at the deepening of autumn and the approach of winter, and the desolation and loneliness in the poet's heart also intensify. The rapid sound of twilight on the White Emperor City is like a portrayal of the poet's inner anxiety and depression. These two lines of poetry not only respond to the autumn mood at the beginning, but also deepen the poet's emotional expression, making people feel his inner pain and struggle.
The whole poem takes "autumn" as the commander, and by describing the autumn scenery and the poet's state of mind, it shows the poet's bleak life in his twilight years, old age and illness, and detention in the rivers and lakes. Every image and every word in the poem is full of deep emotional color, which makes people feel the ups and downs of the poet's heart and his deep attachment to the country and his hometown. In the poetry of sadness and grievance, we can better understand the poet's indescribable emotions and helplessness and emotion about life.
"Eight Songs of Autumn Xing: One of Them" is not only a poem describing the autumn scenery, but also a masterpiece that expresses the poet's inner emotions. It allows us to enjoy the beautiful scenery at the same time, but also feel the deep and sincere emotions of the poet, which will remain in our hearts forever and become our precious cultural heritage.
