Extended information:
1. Bai Juyi was born in a small and medium-sized bureaucratic family in Xinzheng, Henan Province. Shortly after Bai Juyi was born, war broke out in his hometown. In the feudal town, Li Zhengji separatized more than ten states in Henan, and the war was so intense that the people were in dire straits. When Bai Juyi was two years old, his grandfather, who was the magistrate of Gong County, died in Chang'an, and his grandmother died of illness shortly after.
2. Bai Juyi returned to his hometown with political depression. He wanted to take advantage of the period of Ding You in "Send to Nei" to get rid of the troubles. He wore the same bunong and ate the same food as the farmers every day. He eats a vegetarian diet, fishes and reads on the shores of the Weishui River. About Bai Juyi's wife, Yang, returned to her parents' home in the spring to visit relatives, but she still hadn't returned in the autumn, so the poet sent a poem to urge her.
