Original text:
"Lu" and "Lu" are the highest achievements of their creation under the conditions of that time.
After the life of your generation has all turned to dust, nothing will hurt the torrent flowing to the endless river.
Translation:
Wang Yang and Luo Lu initiated a generation of poetic styles and schools, which were ridiculed by shallow critics. After everything in your generation turns to dust, it will never hurt the rushing river.
Although the play is a quatrain, it mainly talks about artistic issues, but it cannot be separated from Du Fu's general creative spirit. In his poems, "usurping the Song Dynasty" and "pro-elegance" are the guiding ideology of his creation and the purpose of his poems.
This little poem is essentially a summary of Du Fu's practical experience in poetry creation and a general outline of poetry theory. It involves a series of important theoretical issues related to the development of Tang poetry. It is unprecedented to make such a big comment in such a small poem.

Creation background
Wei, Jin and Six Dynasties are the transitional stages of China literature from plain to brilliant. However, some "descendants" who have no clear ideas have gone to the extreme of "remembering the past and leaving it close at hand". They tried to completely deny the literature of the Six Dynasties, and pointed their finger at Yu Xin and the four outstanding figures in the early Tang Dynasty.
How to evaluate Yu Xin and the four outstanding poets was the focus of debate in the poetry circle at that time. Therefore, in 76 1 year (the second year of shangyuan), du fu wrote "the play is six quatrains" and expressed his views.
