Du Mu, also known as Muzhi, is a famous poet in the late Tang Dynasty. He is also known as "Little Li Du" together with Li Shangyin. Du Mu was talented, ambitious, and dedicated to managing the world for practical purposes. His poems are lofty and far-sighted, his writing is powerful, and he can blend elegance and beauty into his handsomeness. Among various themes, Du Mu's nostalgic poems are most praised by future generations, leaving behind many popular works, such as "Red Cliff", "Bo Qinhuai", "Deng Le You Yuan" and so on. Du Mu is good at incorporating a deep sense of history into his expressions of emotion through borrowed scenes, and often uses nostalgia to express his concern for reality. This book selects 185 poems by Du Mu and divides them into two parts: chronological and non-chronological. The creative background, allusions, and words of the poems are explained in the captions and annotations to assist readers in reading.
