Whenever I lean on the virtual guise, my tears will dry up under my eyes.

Tonight, you are the only one watching the full moon over Yanzhou, alone in your boudoir.
You pity your young children in a foreign land, but I still don’t understand why you miss Chang’an.

Shaoling Yelao swallowed and cried , sneaking into Qujiangqu in spring.
The palace at Jiangtou has thousands of doors locked, but for whom are the thin willows and new cattails green?
Recalling the past when neon banners went down to the South Garden, everything in the garden was full of color.
The first person in Zhaoyang Palace, he will accompany you in the chariot and serve you by your side.
There is a man in front of the chariot with a bow and arrow, and a white horse chews a golden leash.
Turn over and shoot the clouds towards the sky, smiling as your wings fall.
Where are those bright eyes and white teeth now? The blood-stained wandering soul cannot return.
The Liujian Pavilion in the east of Qing Dynasty is deep, and there is no news about each other when we go to live there.
Life is full of love and tears, but rivers and flowers are the ultimate!
In the evening, Hu Qi was full of dust and wanted to go to the south of the city and look to the north.
3. Translation
Ye Lao (as Du Fu calls himself), whose ancestral home is in Shaoling, wept silently and secretly came to the Qujiang River in spring. Thousands of doors of the palace on the river bank are closed, for whom are the thin willows and the new water cattails green? I recall that when the emperor's colorful flags and honor guard descended from Nanyuan, everything in the garden was glowing.
The most beautiful woman in Zhaoyang Palace also traveled with the car and accompanied the emperor. The palace lady in front of the car carries a bow and arrow, and the white horse is harnessed to a golden rein with a bit. Turning over and shooting towards the clouds in the sky, a pair of birds flying together fell to the ground with a smile.
Where are Concubine Yang’s bright eyes and white teeth? The blood stained her wandering soul, and she can never return! The clear Wei River flows eastward, and the sword pavilion where Xuanzong is located is so far-reaching. Those who left and those who stayed had no news from each other.
Life is full of love, tears wet the chest, where will the flow of the river and the blooming of the river flowers end? At dusk, Hu Qi was raising dust all over the city. I wanted to go to the south of the city, but I was looking at the north.
4. Creation background
This poem was written in the spring of the second year of Emperor Suzong of the Tang Dynasty (757). In the autumn of the first year of Zhide (756), An Lushan captured Chang'an. Du Fu left Yanzhou to join Suzong of the Tang Dynasty who had just ascended the throne. Unfortunately, he was captured by the Anshi rebels and taken to the occupied Chang'an.
Returning to the old place, touching the scene and feeling sad, made the poet feel very painful in his heart. In the spring of the next year, Du Fu escaped and walked along the Qujiang River southeast of Chang'an City. He was filled with emotions and grief. "Aijiangtou" is a true record of his mood at that time.
