Silent poem

Author: Du Fu

Dynasty: Tang Dynasty

The whole poem is as follows:

At dusk, officials arrested people at night. The old man climbed over the wall and left, while the old woman went out to watch.

Why are officials angry? Why do women cry? After listening to the woman, three men guarded Ye.

One man attached a book, and two men died. Those who drag out an ignoble existence are dead!

There is no one in the room, only a baby and a grandson. And grandma didn't go, and there was no skirt in and out.

Although an old woman is weak, please come back at night. If you are in a hurry to serve Shirley in the river and Yang, you might as well prepare the meal in the morning.

The night is long and silent, like crying and choking. Dawn will rise into the future, leaving the old man alone.

At dusk, I stayed in Shihao Village, and at night, officers came to recruit soldiers. The old man fled over the wall, and the old woman went out to deal with it. The officers shouted so fiercely that the old woman cried so sadly.

I heard the old woman come forward and say that my three sons are going to take part in the battle of Yecheng. One of the sons sent back a message that the other two sons had just died in battle. Let the living live one day at a time, and the dead will never be resurrected! Old woman, there is no one else at home, only a little grandson who is nursing.

Because of the little grandson, his mother hasn't left yet, but she doesn't even have a good dress in and out. Although the old woman is old and weak, please allow me to accompany you back to camp for the night. Go to Heyang to apply for a job and prepare breakfast for the troops.

Late at night, the sound faded away, and I vaguely heard a low and intermittent cry. After dawn, I continued on my way, just to say goodbye to the old man who came home.

The War Influence of An Shi Rebellion

First, social chaos.

This war has brought unprecedented disaster to society. "Biography of Guo Ziyi in Old Tang Dynasty" records: "The palace was burned, and there was no one in ten, and everything was abandoned and there was no rafter. There are less than 1000 households in the central area, and the scenery in Jingyi (should be changed to hazelnut) is the number of jackal houses. It lacks both military reserves and manpower.

East to Zheng, Bian and Xufang, north to Qin and Huai, it is a place isolated from human population, a thousand miles of depression ",including almost the whole middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River, and it is desolate. Du Fu said in a poem: "After loneliness, there are more than 100 homes in my garden, and there are many things in the world. "This shows that after the war, the broad masses of people were homeless.

Second, the buffer zone regime

The Anshi Rebellion weakened the feudal centralization, created the necessary conditions for the feudal separatist regime, and made the Tang Dynasty decline from prosperity to decline. Since then, the Anshi Rebellion Party has formed a separatist situation in Heshuo.

Shi Chaoyi, the son of Shi Siming, was defeated from Yecheng, and the Tang Dynasty sent General Tiele Pugu Huai 'en to kill him. Pu Gu clashed with the Tang Dynasty, and in order to form a clique, he deliberately preserved the strength of Anshi's old department.

Let them continue to control the Hebei area, and let An Shi's old general Tian Yi (now southern Hebei and northern Henan), Zhang Zhongzhi (later renamed Li), Cheng De (now central Hebei) and Li Huaixian (now northern Hebei) appoint us.

This is the so-called "three towns in Hebei". The three towns gradually integrated local military, political and economic forces. Later, other regions, such as Ziqing (now Zichuan and Yidu in Shandong Province), Xuanwu (now Kaifeng and Shangqiu in Henan Province), Li Lingyao and Li Xilie in Huaixi, became independent.
