Du Fu, The Story of Climbing Yueyang Tower
I heard that Dongting Lake is magnificent before, but today's wish has finally reached Yueyang Tower.
The vast lake tore Wu Chu apart, as if the sun, moon and stars were floating in the water.
There is no news from my friends or relatives. I am old and sick, drifting in a boat.
The battle of the north gate began again, and I cried through the railing.
Du Fu lived in Dali for three years (768) and drifted out of the gorge to the two lakes. This poem is a masterpiece of climbing Yueyang Tower to see the hometown and touching the scenery. The first couplet is a household name in Dongting, but it was not until the curtain year that the wish to see a famous lake was realized. On the surface, it seems like the joy of climbing Yueyang Tower for the first time. In fact, I want to express my feelings that my early ambitions have not been realized so far. Couplets are the vastness of Dongting. Sanlian wrote about the bumpy political life, wandering around the world and the feeling of incompetence. At the end of the couplet, I wrote that I saw the country's turmoil and there was no way to serve the country.
