Cui Tu (854~?), courtesy name Lishan, was a native of the Fuchunjiang area in present-day Zhejiang. In the fourth year of Guangqi reign of Xizong of Tang Dynasty (888), he became a Jinshi. He wandered all his life, roaming Bashu, Wuchu, Henan, Qinlong and other places. Therefore, most of his poems take the wandering life as the theme, with a desolate mood. "Complete Poems of the Tang Dynasty" contains one volume of his poems. Cui Tu Cui Tu's poems and prose travel all the way to Sanba Road, and are in danger for thousands of miles. On a snowy night in the chaotic mountains, a stranger stands alone. Gradually, it becomes far away from the flesh and blood, and turns to the relatives of children and servants. It's just wandering, and tomorrow will be a new year. ——Cui Tu of the Tang Dynasty, "New Year's Eve/Bashan Road's Great Night's Book of Love"
New Year's Eve/Bashan Road's Great Book of Night Traveling all the way to Sanba Road, you are in danger thousands of miles away.
On a snowy night in the chaotic mountains, a stranger is alone.
Gradually become far away from flesh and blood, and turn to children and servants.
I am wandering, and tomorrow will be a new year. Three Hundred Poems of the Tang Dynasty, Spring Festival, I am homesick while traveling, the water flows, the flowers wither, and the east wind passes through Chucheng. The butterfly dreamed of a home thousands of miles away, and the branches were updated three times a month. The books in the hometown have been extinct for many years, but the spring flowers are only full of mirrors. Of course, if you don't return, you will get it. Who can compete with the misty scenery of the five lakes? ——Tang Dynasty·Cui Tu's "Spring Eve"
Spring Eve The water flows and the flowers fade without mercy, sending the east wind through Chucheng.
Hudie dreamed that her home was thousands of miles away, and the branches were updated three times a month.
The books in my hometown have been extinct for many years, but the spring flowers are only full of mirrors.
Of course, if you don’t return, you will get it. Who can compete with the misty scenery of the five lakes? In spring, I write about the scenery and homesickness of the Han Dynasty. The rivers and mountains are divided, and the diligent king is willing to take care of Yuanxun. I don’t know that the emperor is responsible for the conquest, but only allows heroes to serve as envoys. Zhan Yuling on the river is the valley, and the spring at Dutou is in the grass and clouds. It is clear that victory or defeat is nowhere to be found, and I listen to fishermen's songs till dusk. ——Tang Dynasty·Cui Tu's "Chibi Nostalgia"
Chibi Nostalgia The Han Dynasty was divided into rivers and mountains, and who among the diligent kings was willing to take care of the Yuanxun. I don’t know that the conquest is by the emperor,
Only heroes are allowed to serve as envoys. Zhan Yuling on the river is the valley, and the spring at Dutou is in the grass and clouds.
It is clear that victory or defeat is nowhere to be found, and I listen to fishermen’s songs till dusk.
