This poem is a masterpiece of five laws in Du Fu's poems, which was called the first of the five laws in the prosperous Tang Dynasty by predecessors. On the whole, the beauty of mountains and rivers is both inside and outside the poem. Although sad, but not depressed; Although depressed, but not depressed. It reflects his style of caring about people's livelihood.
The first link is intertwined with reality, and the comparison between the past and the present expands the field of time and space. I have heard about the fame of Dongting for a long time, but it was not until my twilight years that I realized my wish to see this famous lake. On the surface, climbing Yueyang Tower for the first time was quite enjoyable. In fact, my original intention was to express my unfulfilled ambition in my early days.
In the final analysis, it is to describe the brewing atmosphere of Dongting Lake. Zhuan Xu is a vast Dongting. Dongting Lake is the Wu Chu, floating day and night, the waves lift the sky, endless, I really don't know how many clouds the old man swallowed in his chest!
This is a quatrain about Dongting Lake, which was praised by Wang Shizhen as "a hero spanning the present". The scenery is so magnificent that it is dizzying. The neck couplet is about the feeling that political life is bumpy, wandering around the world and talents are not met. "But no news of relatives and friends has reached me", and I can't get any spiritual and material help.
Since Kuizhou took his wife and children out of the gorge by boat in the first month of the third year of Dali, he roamed Hunan, taking the boat as his home, and the future was boundless, where to settle down. Facing Wang Yang in Dongting Lake, his sense of loneliness and crisis has increased.
Self-narration is so lonely that it contains infinite affection in the sudden change and contrast of the extremely stuffy poetic realm. At the end of the couplet, I wrote the sadness of seeing the country in turmoil and not being able to serve the country. There is a blank between the upper and lower sentences, which is memorable.
The "past" beginning with "I have heard of Dongting Lake for a long time" can certainly cover the poet's activities in Chang 'an area for more than ten years. And this, in space, can be compared with "Guanshanbei". Cheng Xuan and Today echoed from beginning to end.

Climbing Yueyang Tower
Tang Dynasty: Du Fu
I heard that Dongting Lake is magnificent before, but today's wish has finally reached Yueyang Tower.
The vast lake tore Wu Chu apart, as if the sun, moon and stars were floating in the water.
There is no news from my friends or relatives. I am old and sick, drifting in a boat.
The battle of the north gate began again, and I cried through the railing.
Translation:
The battle of the north gate began again, and I cried through the railing. I heard that Dongting Lake is magnificent the other day, and today I finally boarded Yueyang Tower.
The vast lake tore Wu Chu apart, as if the sun, moon and stars were floating in the water.
No news from relatives or friends. I am old and sick, and I am wandering alone.
The northern border war broke out again, and I leaned against the railing and cried.

Creative background:
In the third year of Dali (768), Du Fu drifted from Jiangling and Gongan along the Yangtze River to Yuezhou (now Hunan). Climbing the long-awaited Yueyang Tower, the poet looked down from the porch and gave a heartfelt admiration.
Then I thought that I was wandering in my later years, and the country was full of disasters. I couldn't help feeling a lot, so I wrote "Climbing Yueyang Tower", "Stop Yueyang Gate" and "Accompany Pei Shijun to Climb Yueyang Tower" in Yueyang.
Explanation:
I heard that Dongting Lake is famous for its vast water potential. Now I'm on the Yueyang Tower by the lake, pitching the country. The first couplet uses the words "past" and "present" to start thinking, which opens the curtain of time and lays the foundation for the great momentum of the whole poem.
When Du Fu was young, he had the ambition to visit famous mountains and rivers. He traveled to wuyue in the east and Zhao in the north. Yueyang Tower is a historical site, and the poet has long dreamed of a complete tour, but the war is frequent and his life experience is wandering, which is difficult to achieve. Only by living here today can I feast my eyes.
I saw that Wu Chu was divided into the southeast by a huge lake; On the vast lake, the earth floats day and night. Zhuan Xu wrote about the boundless majestic momentum, broad artistic conception and magnificent scenery of Dongting Lake.
The word "floating day and floating night" is deep and full of feelings in the scenery, implying his long-term wandering feelings. Liu Chenweng in the Song Dynasty said that this couplet "has a hundred generations of pressure and is a unique expression of five characters". "Wu Chu", the Kingdom of Wu and the State of Chu in the Spring and Autumn Period.
Today, parts of Hubei, Hunan, Anhui and Jiangxi belong to the State of Chu. Today, parts of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Jiangxi belonged to Wu in ancient times. Hey, Split. For more appreciation of Tang poetry, please pay attention to Guo Xuexi's 300 Tang poems in Gutang. com。
My friends and relatives have never sent me a word. I am old and ill, and I only live in a small boat. The poet of the Necklace League is old and sick, taking the boat as his home, living far away from relatives and friends, living abroad, with desolate environment, sad heart and resentful feelings.
Self-evident. "Old disease", Du Fu is 57 years old, and his family lives in a boat and wanders around. At this time, he was weak-his right arm was shriveled, his ears were deaf, and he also suffered from chronic lung disease.
Standing on Yueyang Tower, overlooking the north of Guanshan, it is still a mess and war. Leaning against the window porch, thinking about my motherland, I couldn't help crying. Poets link personal destiny with the future of the country in couplets, which have far-reaching artistic conception and endless aftertaste.
"Military horse", military forces, here refers to the war. In the autumn of the third year of Dali (768), Tubo invaded Lingwu and the capital was under martial law; The court ordered Guo Ziyi to lead 50,000 troops to Fengtian to prepare for Tubo.
