This is a poem that reflects the homesickness of a wanderer and is one of the nineteen ancient poems. In the Han dynasty, Confucian classics became an important capital for scholars to seek fame in the DPRK. As a result, thousands of Qian Qian students left their hometown to study and seek official positions. However, for so many scholars, the ability of bureaucracy is too limited, which will inevitably form a situation in which fewer people are lucky and more people are frustrated. Thus, a group of frustrated literati emerged, namely "wanderer" and "prodigal son" in Nineteen Ancient Poems. These literati who are frustrated in their official career will naturally miss their hometown and relatives in the loneliness and frustration of hopeless official career. This poem is a masterpiece describing homesickness and homesickness in Nineteen Ancient Poems.
