"Spring Outlook" by Du Fu
The country is broken by mountains and rivers, and the city has deep spring vegetation.
I am moved to tears by the flowers, and the birds are frightened by the hatred.
The war rages on for three months, and a letter from home is worth ten thousand gold.
The white-headed scratches are shorter, and the lust is overwhelming.

Ge Shuhan was captured on the way. captured. An Lushan had no strong enemy, so he captured Chang'an in one fell swoop. Tang Xuanzong led his concubines, princes, and ministers to flee to Lingwu. Xuanzong abdicated, and Prince Li Heng proclaimed himself emperor in Lingwu.
In August of the first year of Emperor Suzong's reign in the Tang Dynasty (756), Du Fu went from Yanzhou to Lingwu to defect to Emperor Suzong of the Tang Dynasty. He was captured by the rebels on the way and was later trapped in Chang'an. This poem was written in March of the following year.
This is a five-character poem written in the second year of Emperor Suzong's reign in the Tang Dynasty (757). Du Fu saw that the mountains and rivers remained unchanged but the country was ruined and the family was destroyed, and the spring returned to the earth but the cities were desolate.

"Climbing High" by Du Fu
The wind is strong, the apes high in the sky are screaming in mourning, and the white birds are flying back from the clear sand in Zhugong.
The endless falling trees rustle, and the endless Yangtze River rolls in.
The sad autumn of thousands of miles is often a guest, and the one who has been sick for a hundred years appears alone on the stage.
Hard and bitter, I hate the frost on my temples, and my wine glass becomes muddy when I am depressed.
“Wandering thousands of miles away, Sadness has always been a guest in the autumn, and he who has been ill for hundreds of years has only appeared on the stage.” Sadness said to the autumn scene that he has been wandering thousands of miles and has been a guest all year round. He has been plagued by diseases throughout his life and now he stands alone on the stage.
This poem was written in the autumn of the second year of Emperor Dali of the Tang Dynasty (767). At that time, the Anshi Rebellion had been over for four years, but local warlords took advantage of the opportunity to rise up again and compete with each other for territory. Du Fu originally entered the Yanwu shogunate and relied on Yan Wu. Unfortunately, Yan Wu died of illness soon, leaving him without support. He had to leave the Chengdu thatched cottage that he had been running for five or six years and bought a boat to go south. He wanted to go directly to Kuimen, but he was seriously ill and ended up in the south. Yun'an stayed for several months before arriving in Kuizhou. If it weren't for the care of the local governor, he wouldn't have been able to live here for three years. And just in these three years, his life was still very difficult and his health was also very poor.
This poem was written by the fifty-six-year-old poet in this extremely difficult situation. That day, he climbed up to the high platform outside Baidi City in Kuizhou alone. He climbed up and looked at it with mixed feelings. What he saw aroused what he felt; the bleak scenery of the Autumn River aroused his emotion of his wandering life, and infiltrated his sadness of old age, illness, and loneliness. As a result, this masterpiece was born, which is known as "the first seven-character rhyme in ancient and modern times".
"Climbing Yueyang Tower" by Du Fu
In the past I heard about the water in Dongting, now I am going up to Yueyang Tower.
In the southeast corner of Wu and Chu, the sun and the moon float in the sky.
There are no relatives and friends, and there are no old and sick people.
The soldiers and horses pass through the north of the mountain, and Pingxuan Tisi flows.
"There is no word about relatives and friends, but there is a lonely boat for old age and illness." Wandering in the rivers and lakes, relatives and friends have no words for old friends, and the old and the weak live in this lonely boat.
After the third year of Daizong's reign (768), Du Fu went out of the gorge and wandered around the two lakes. Due to the war, he drifted in Jiangling, Gong'an and other places. This poem is about climbing the Yueyang Tower and looking at his hometown. The poet writes about the extraordinary momentum of the vast Dongting Ocean, which is a work that touches the scenery. The first couplet writes that I have long heard about the fame of Dongting, but it was only in my later years that I realized my wish to see the famous lake. On the surface, it seems to be the joy of climbing Yueyang Tower for the first time, but in fact it is intended to express the feeling that my early ambition has not been realized until now. The couplets represent the vastness of Dongting. The neck couplet describes the ups and downs of political life, wandering to the end of the world, and the mood of not being able to appreciate talents. The last couplet writes about the sadness of seeing the country in turmoil and being unable to serve the country. Although there are only two sentences to describe the scenery, it shows superb skills. Although the lyricism is dark and lonely, it is natural and effortless. The whole poem uses neat and precise rhyme, contrasting the front and back, making it a seamless whole.

The cloud peaks are full of spring sunshine, and the silver hooks are pointing down.
I hate myself for covering up my poems with my clothes on, and I raise my head in vain to envy the names on the list.

"Deng Youzhou Taiwan Song" Chen Zi'ang
I have never seen the ancients before,
Thinking of the long journey of heaven and earth,
I shed tears with sadness!
There is no trace of the ancient sages wherever I look, and I look back. There is no one today who imitates the ancient sages. Thinking of the long and far-reaching sky and the vast earth on that day, I am so sad that I can’t help but burst into tears and wet my clothes!

Chen Ziang requested to send ten thousand people as vanguards to attack the enemy, but Wu refused. Later, Chen Ziang asked Wu again, but he refused and demoted him to sergeant.
