Du Fu - 5
?, is an attribute of autumn, the season of war and punishment. The qi (?atmosphere?) is both the weather and the spiritual force of the season. 4 The reference is to Yang Guozhong. 5 Daji ?? was the consort of Zhou, the last Shang king. To Da and Bao were attributed the fall of the Shang ( Yin) and Western Zhou respectively. The analogy here is clearly to Lady Yang the Noble Consort, who, in contrast, was ordered to commit suicide, by which, to Du Fu?s mind, the dynasty was saved. 6 The references are to King Xuan, who restored the Western Zhou?s power, and to Guangwudi, the founder of the Eastern Han. The comparison is to Suzong.
