试谈杜甫“九日”诗

Approaching the “Jiu Ri”Poems of Du Fu

杜甫诗不特善于纪事,亦长于纪历,杜甫诗集中有不少以节令为题的诗歌,“九日”诗就是其中的一类。重阳节在唐代深受重视,杜甫“九日”诗广泛反映了唐代的重阳节习俗,而在主题上则明显地保留了忧郁色彩——既伤老叹悲又忧国忧民。读杜甫九日诗,犹读唐代风俗史,还能感受到他忧国忧民的情怀。

Besides recording events, Du Fu is also good at describing festivals, which is found in some of his poems. “Jiu Ri”poems serve as one example. Highly valued in Tang Dynasty, Chong Yang is one of the main themes in his “Jiu Ri”poems, in which the poet attaches a strong tint of depression on aging, msery of his nation and the people. Through reading his poems, we can comprehend the concurrent customs and his affection for his nation and people.
