The sonnet Ode to Mujiang is a masterpiece of scenery writing. About the second year of Changqing (AD 822), he went to Hangzhou to be the secretariat of history. At that time, politics was dark, and the struggle between Niu and Li was fierce. The poet tasted the taste of being an official and asked to go abroad. This poem reflects the poet's relaxed and happy mood after leaving the court. The first two sentences describe the scenery on the river before the sun goes down. The setting sun shines on the water, sparkling, and the river is half green and half red, just like an oil painting. The word "shop" is well used, which vividly shows the oblique shot of the sun; The last two sentences are written on the night of the third day of September, when the new moon rises, bends like a bow, dewdrops are crystal clear, like pearls, and the evening scenery is like a meticulous painting. This poem has beautiful and fluent language, fresh style and vivid details.
