A lone goose doesn't want to drink water, refuses to eat, just flies low and longs for its companion. The geese disappear in the sea of clouds, who will pity the geese in the sky? Looking at the horizon, I seem to see the figure of my companion; The voice in the valley seems to hear the voice of the companion. Wild birds don't understand the lonely goose's heart, but make noise for their own voice.
A lonely goose doesn't want to drink water or eat. It just flies low, moans and misses its companions. The geese disappeared in the sea of clouds. Who will pity the lonely geese in the sky? Looking around the world, it seems to see the figure of a companion; Mourning shook the valley, as if hearing the call of a companion. The wild crow doesn't understand the lonely goose's mood, but only cares about his own noise.
The Lonely Goose is a pentatonic poem written by Du Fu, a poet in the Tang Dynasty. This is a poem about things, with wonderful body music, but also expresses the pain of people losing their groups in wandering. The whole poem symbolizes the poet himself by describing the loneliness of geese.
The Lonely Goose was written by Du Fu when he lived in Kuizhou in the early years of Dali. Due to the political chaos in Sichuan, Du Fu left Chengdu with his family, took a boat out of Sichuan along the Yangtze River and stayed in Kuizhou. The poet was ill in his later years, his old friends were scattered, and he was in a difficult situation, and his heart was full of frustration and sadness.
