Du Fu's Egret Poems

Du Fu s Poems on Egrets in Tang Poetry;

Volume 228: 061"Go boating in the Maha Pool with Yan in late autumn" (word. The pool woke up in the turbulent wind of Zhang (Du Fu), and the ship returned to the fog and began to build dikes. Autumn falls in the high city, and the miscellaneous trees are lost in the evening. Sit and touch Yuanyang, the jade in the nest is low. Not afraid of egrets, stay in Qingxi for company.

Volume 228: 068 [Four quatrains] Part III (Du Fu)

"Two orioles sing green willows, egrets sky-high." Outside my window is the snowy Western Hills. My door often says "goodbye" to ships sailing eastward.

Volume 234: 03 1 [Send a boring play to the 19th Caochang Road] (Du Fu)

It thundered in Jiangpu last night, and the rain in Spring City was slightly cold. The orioles sat side by side, worried about getting wet, and the egrets flew in groups, which was a great scene. In the evening, the poetry is getting thinner and the number of cups is wider. However, my favorite is Qingguangke, and I have never stopped watching him.

Of course, the most famous is the quatrain: two orioles sing green willows and a row of egrets fly to the sky. My window framed the snow-covered western hills. My door often says "goodbye" to ships sailing eastward.

【 There are also "left-behind herons", "wild herons" and "herons", which are not recorded. ]
