The poems written by Du Fu when he left Chengdu in the first year of Yongtai include: "Writing in Xiaohan's Food Boat", "Long Night Travel", etc.
(1) "The Works of Xiaohan Shizhou". "Xiaohan Shizhou Zhongzuo" is a seven-rhyme poem composed by Du Fu, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, when he was wandering in Tanzhou (now Changsha) in the fifth year of Dali (770). This poem expresses the poet's thoughts and feelings of living in the world in his later years but still deeply concerned about the safety of the Tang Dynasty.
The first couplet summarizes the author's life experience, the chin couplet vividly describes what the poet saw and felt in the boat, the neck couplet describes the scenery on the river in the boat, and the last couplet summarizes the thoughts and feelings of the whole poem. The language of the whole poem is natural and concise, and the style is vast and melancholy.
(2) "Long Night Book". The first half of this poem describes the scene of "night travel". The first and second sentences describe close-up scenes: the breeze is blowing the fine grass on the river bank, and the boat with the tall mast is moored alone on the moonlit night. At that time, Du Fu had no choice but to leave Chengdu. In the first month of this year, he resigned from his post as a staff officer to the Jiedushi Governor. In April, his friend Yan Wu, who relied on him for survival in Chengdu, died.
In this lonely and helpless situation, I decided to leave Shu and go east. Therefore, here is not a general description of the scene, but an expression of emotion in the scene, showing his situation and feelings through the description of the scene: as small as the grass on the river bank, as lonely as the lonely boat in the river. The third and fourth sentences describe the distant view: the stars hang low, the plains are vast; the moon surges with the waves, and the river flows eastward.
