In the second year of Gan Yuan (759), Du Fu abandoned his official position and went to Sichuan.

Creative background:

These two poems were written by Du Fu when he lived in Kuizhou in the first year of Tang Daizong Dali (766), because he missed his old friend. Yellow River Note: "It is correct that Liang was compiled in the first year of Dali according to his death in the second year of Guangde (764)."

Gong Zheng in the first sentence "Gong Zheng's pastel painting follows the long night" is an honorific title for Zheng Qian. Zheng Qian, a good friend of Du Fu, was versatile and accomplished in poetry, calligraphy and painting, especially in landscape painting. This sentence uses a long night as a metaphor for death, because people are buried underground after death and never see the sun, which is very vivid. Gong Zheng's color photos became masterpieces with the long night. This sentence is full of sadness.

The second sentence "Danqing in Caoba has a bald head" is a famous painter in Caoba and an expert in horse painting. He is also good at portraits, animals and others. Du Fu wrote in "Dan Qing gave General Cao Ba": "The road to the end, no one is more clear, no one is poorer.

From the earliest time, I have been reading records all day? ? (sleepy, depressed) haunts him. "Cao Ba was poor all his life, loved art and didn't seek fame and fortune. Du Fu not only praised Cao Ba's noble quality and lofty spirit, but also lamented his life experience.
