This poem was written in the spring of 769 (four years of Dali). According to Guo Moruo's research, Du Fu left Chengdu for the south with his family after Yanwu's death in 765 (the first year of Yongtai). In 768 (the third year of Dali), he left the Three Gorges in the middle of the first month, entered Hunan at the end of the year, and went to Yueyang. In 769 (four years of Dali), he arrived in Changsha in March, went up the Xiangjiang River and arrived in Hengyang. In April of the same year, he returned to Changsha. Life here is all in a boat in Hunan. In April, 77 (the fifth year of Dali), he went back to the Xiangjiang River to Hengyang to avoid the chaos of Zang Jun. He sailed in leishui again and died in Leiyang.
Du Fu spent the last period of his life on the Xiangjiang River, which is full of myths. The legend of Shun and Erfei is the most familiar theme and imaginative spiritual sustenance of the poet. The poem expresses the author's sad feeling of self-injury. Du Fu (712-77), with beautiful words, was a famous poet in the Tang Dynasty. Because he once lived in Shaoling, south of Chang 'an, he called himself Shaoling Yelao and was known as Du Shaoling. First, I lived in Chang 'an for ten years, and then I was exiled because of the Anshi Rebellion. In 759 (the second year of Ganyuan), he abandoned his official position and went west, and settled in Chengdu. In his later years, his family moved eastward, wandering in Hubei and Hunan, and died of poverty and illness. He lived in the historical period of the Tang Dynasty from prosperity to decline, and his poems mostly involved social unrest, political darkness and people's sufferings, and were known as "the history of poetry". He is concerned about the country and the people, with noble personality and exquisite poetic skills, and is regarded as a "poet saint". Du Gongbu has been handed down from generation to generation.
