"Create background"

In 755 AD, the "An Shi Rebellion" broke out, and Du Fu once fled to Zizhou. In 763 AD, the "An Shi Rebellion" ended. In the second year after the end, Du Fu also returned to Chengdu Caotang. At that time, he was in a good mood Faced with the vitality of this school, he couldn't help writing this poem.

Appreciation of whole poem

This poem depicts four independent landscapes and creates a vibrant picture. The poet was intoxicated with it, looking at the ships from Soochow, unconsciously evoking homesickness, and his meticulous inner activities naturally showed up.

The whole poem is written in the way of fu, which is natural and just right. That laymen think that Du Fu's poems are about natural scenery. The obvious proportions and metaphors make people think. It is a classic work that uses "Fu, Bi and Xing". Let people see what is the expression of ambition and what is the language of poetry. Reading such works is almost as fascinating as reading Sherlock Holmes' detective novels. Poetry is so wonderful. Du Fu once again told people that poetry is untranslatable.
