The meaning of the ancient poem "Give clothes at noon"

Du fu in Tang dynasty

On the Dragon Boat Festival, the emperor gave precious court clothes, and the favor was added.

The fragrant silk is spun into fine kudzu vine, and the soft wind blows as white as new snow.

From heaven, rain and dew, just in the heat, wearing it is very cool.

The length of the clothes in the palace is all combined with the mind, and I will bear the hospitality of the emperor all my life.

Interpretation: Palace costume refers to official costume. There used to be a proverb: "You dare not send cold clothes until you have eaten May Zongzi." It refers to the custom of the Dragon Boat Festival. Wearing patterned clothes after eating zongzi can make you no longer afraid of wind and frost this year.

On the Dragon Boat Festival, the emperor gave precious court clothes, and the favor was added. It means that by the Dragon Boat Festival, I can finally be an official. In May 757, Du Fu worshiped Zuo to clean up the mess. This poem should have been written at that time. Being respected means being honored by being appreciated.

The fragrant silk is spun into fine kudzu vine, and the soft wind blows as white as new snow. Pueraria lobata is a kind of plant, which can be used for weaving. Fine kudzu cloth refers to the cloth made of the finest and best kudzu silk, which contains wind softness, meaning that kudzu cloth is as soft as wind. Xiang, a perforated silk fabric, refers to the fragrance of Xiang; Snow is light, as light as snowflakes. Both sentences describe the good material of clothes.

From the sky, rain and dew are mixed, but in the heat, it is very cool to wear it. Title, refers to the collar part of clothes, wet, not wet, but soft material attached to the neck, cool and comfortable. Wear clothes when it is hot in summer, that is, when it is hot; Clear and cool. The collar part seems to be naturally moist, so it must be cool in hot weather.

The length of the clothes in the palace is all combined with the mind, and I will bear the hospitality of the emperor all my life. Meaning refers to the heart. Weighing is to calculate the size of clothes. The sense of holiness of lotus refers to the kindness of the saints. The whole sentence means that the size of the clothes is calculated in my mind and just right. I feel that my whole body is full of the kindness of the holy one.

On the Dragon Boat Festival, Du Fu received official clothes from the palace. This official uniform is extremely gorgeous (actually not very gorgeous, but in Du Fu's eyes, it is an opportunity to reach the top and a platform to show his ideals and ambitions. Therefore, he looks "extremely gorgeous". ), Du Fu looked at it in his mind, and only thought that this dress was tailor-made for himself (in fact, it was tailor-made by a special clothing official), neither too long nor too short, just right. So I thought to myself: How mighty the emperor is! Even the courtier's clothes are arranged so properly. I want to feel the kindness of the emperor, and I will remember it all my life and work hard to serve the emperor and the country! (Of course, Du Fu may not be so "pure", but just like everyone likes to say quotations from Chairman Mao when they meet during the ten years of turmoil, it is very common for feudal social ministers to talk about imperial favors. )

In fact, this poem has no content, which is the style of Du Fu's early poems and a side reflection of his own desire to be an official in the DPRK. The content is false and true, in today's words, it is a face-saving article full of slogans (of course, ancient intellectuals shouted slogans for elegance and euphemism ~! ) It doesn't make much sense.
