What are the meanings of "Wanderers Listening to the Drum" and "The Wild Goose Singing in the Early Autumn" in Du Fu's "Remembering Brothers on a Moonlit Night"?

In the Tang Dynasty, Du Fu wrote in "Remembering Brothers on a Moonlight Night": "The vagrants heard drums, sound, sound, sound, sound, sound, sound, sound, sound, sound, sound, sound, sound, sound, sound, sound, sound, sound, sound, sound, sound, sound, sound, sound.

"Broken Pedestrian" points out the social environment, indicating that wars are still frequent and fierce, and roads are blocked. The two poems play up a strong sad atmosphere and point out the background of "moonlit night".

Original poem:

Memories of Brother Du Fu in the Moonlight Night of Tang Dynasty

A vagrant heard the drums heralding the battle, which was the first call of a wild goose on the border in autumn. The dew turns to frost tonight, and the moonlight at home is bright!

Brothers are scattered, and no one can ask about life and death. Letters sent to Luoyang city are often not delivered, and wars often do not stop.

Explanation:

Garrison the drums upstairs to break pedestrians, and the lonely geese sing in autumn night. Starting from tonight, I entered the Millennium solar term, and the moon in my hometown is still the brightest. Although there are brothers, they are all separated, and it is impossible to find out about them. Letters sent to Luoyang city are often not delivered, and frequent wars have never stopped.

Creative background:

This poem was written by Du Fu in Qin Zhou in the autumn of 759 AD (the second year of Gan Yuan). In September this year, during the Anshi Rebellion, An Lushan and Shi Siming led troops from Fan Yang to the south, captured Bianzhou and entered Luoyang in the west. Shandong and Henan are at war. At that time, Du Fu's younger brothers were scattered in this area, and because of the war, there was no communication, which made him feel intense anxiety and yearning.

Appreciate:

The first couplet: "Wanderers listen to drums, and autumn geese sing". "Garrison drum" refers to the drum sound used to tell the time or give an alarm on the garrison building. "Breaking pedestrians" means that after the drums sound, the curfew begins. Curfews are a system implemented in ancient times, which means that people can't go out at night. Border autumn refers to a remote place in autumn.

"A wild goose" means a wild goose. Du Fu wrote geese here, not only to express the feeling of changing seasons, but also because the ancients used geese to refer to brothers. A lone goose here was separated from his brother.

Couplet "He knows that the dew will be frost tonight, and how bright the moonlight is at home!" Today is the Millennium Festival, the weather is getting colder and colder, and I miss my family more. Although there is a bright moon here, the moon in my hometown is brighter!

Necklace: "Oh, my brothers, lost and scattered, what is the meaning of life without your?" . "All" means all. "Ah, my brothers, lost and scattered" means: although I have brothers, they are all separated. "Homeless" means that Du Fu's old house near Luoyang has been destroyed by the Anshi Rebellion and is homeless. "Without you, what does life mean to me?" My brothers are homeless and I have nowhere to know about them.

Finally: "However, if there is something wrong with the letters in peacetime, what can I expect in wartime?" . "Sending books" refers to sending letters to each other, which is the only way to contact distant relatives in ancient times. But now I want to send a letter to my brothers, but I don't know where to send it. "The condition is" means, not to mention "no truce" because the rebel Shi Siming is fighting the Tang Dynasty general Li Guangbi. I don't know where to send a letter, what's more, the world is still in war and can't be peaceful.
