At that time, the Tang Dynasty had entered a turbulent period after the Huang Chao Uprising, with social unrest and frequent wars. In this case, many scholars and cultural figures have left their hometown, wandering around or going to other places to study, and Wang Wei is one of them. He once left his hometown to Luoyang, Chang 'an and other places to find his own ambition and way out.
It is against this background that "Shanju Holiday Thinking of Shandong Brothers" was written. In the poem, Wang Wei misses his hometown of Shandong and thinks of meeting his brother. He expressed his nostalgia for his hometown, loneliness and homesickness in a foreign land through the description of natural landscape and humanistic customs.
With its affectionate and stirring style and vivid description, this poem expresses the author's attachment to his hometown and infinite love for life, and is regarded as a classic in China's classical poetry.
