Du Fu's "Boating in Yueyang Gate"
Jiangguo is more than a thousand miles, and the mountain city is only a hundred stories.
The shore wind turns over the night wave, and the boat snow sprinkles cold light.
It's hard to stay, and the danger is increasing.
The south of the map is unexpected, and the change is Kun Peng.
This poem was written by Du Fu in his later years. At that time, he was in a state of chaos and was displaced, and began to take a boat from Hubei to Yueyang. It was a time of exile when the country was ruined and the family declined. He faced danger, poverty and disease. The image of Kun Peng in the poet's works, staying in danger and turning south, is a self-metaphor, which shows that although he is in danger, he does not forget the heart of serving the country, is not discouraged, and is more determined in his ambition.
