Du Fu was the first person to reflect Li Yang's story in his poems. In Du Fu's poems, he is critical of Li Yang. His poems, such as Ai Jiang Tou, Che Shop and Two Roads, directly point the finger at the militaristic Tang Xuanzong and the arrogant and extravagant Yang Guifei's brother and sister, revealing that Li Longji ignored political affairs because of his lust for women and had a very bad social influence. After the Anshi Rebellion, An Lushan's army occupied this place. This is the bustling place for Tang and Yang Guifei's spring outing. Looking at this bleak scene today, he couldn't help but feel sad and burst into tears, so he wrote the first poem "Ai Jiang Tou" involving Li Yang's incident:
Shaoling night swallowed and began to cry. I quietly descended along the winding river like a shadow of spring.
There are thousands of palaces on the shore and new branches of willows. Who are you green for? .
I remember the colorful flags floating from the South Garden, which was full of colors.
The first lady of the kingdom, from the Sun Palace, waited on the emperor's royal chariot.
The cavalry in front of them were all holding bows and arrows, and discerning horses were chewing gold.
An archer, chest up, through the clouds, smiling.
Where are those perfect eyes and those pearly teeth? A blood-stained soul has no home and nowhere to go.
Qing refers to the east and the depths of Jiange, and there is no news.
People, be merciful, make a wish with tears, on the Cao Jiang is the ultimate.
Tatars on horseback, in the dim twilight, covered the town with dust. I fled to the south, but I was still staring at the throne in the north.
