Du Fu's Caotang Poems

Portrait of Du Fu

Wang Anshi (Northern Song Dynasty)

I think Shaoling's poems are for vitality.

I can arrange heaven and earth, but I can't ask for it.

In the mighty octupole, life is not thick

Ugly and beautiful, I don't know how to carve it.

Poor life's poverty, turn it upside down.

Lan is always more angry. I'm hungry for half of Kyushu.

A thin wife is stiff in front of her son and servant, and stiff in front of the bustling thief Sengomao.

Oh, don't waste the imperial court's mind at this time.

May the son of heaven live forever, and ministers have their own weeks.

I would rather let my house freeze to death alone than endure the cold of the four seas.

It is a shame to die of injury and grief.

Therefore, when you see the public image, you will cry again.

But the heart of the public is ancient and few, and I am willing to go from public to death.
