Unauthenticated Download Date | 10/1/17 7:36 AM Respectfully Presented to Yan (8) [Wu] of the Chancellery 317 Mountain birds will marvel at scholar robes, 16 boys in the wilds will look at the standards of Han.
Frontier ale, metal cups lined in a row, Yi tribal songs, as they hold up jade plates.
The grasses succulent, Tibetan horses grow strong, 20 the snow may be heavy, but their felt tents are dry.
Be cautious contributing to making plans, from this moment on straighten your wings.
When you return, you can take authority, 24 one morning spiraling upward ninety thousand leagues.

16 Respectfully Presented to Yan (8) [Wu] of the Chancellery In the imperial entourage you mount the yellow tower,2 a distinguished lord of singularly tender years.
A dragon who has gotten clouds and rain, 4 a falcon in the autumn skies.
Your treatment of guests allows a certain laxness, our offices allow us to have contact.
3 1 *Peng bird.
2 The ?
yellow tower?
was a term for the Chancellery.
3 Yan Wu was the Supervising Secretary ( jishi zhong) in the Chancellery; Du Fu?
s post as Reminder was also a Chancellery post.

This is Du Fu? s earliest poem to Yan Wu ? ? , later Du Fu? s most supportive patron during his years in Sichuan. 5. 17 Moon Up in heaven the date of autumn nears, the moon? s rays are clear in the human world. Entering the Starstream, the Toad does not sink, 4 the Hare lives forever, pounding its herbs. 1 It only increases bitterness in a loyal heart, it can add brightness to my white hairs. If you know that the clash of arms fills the earth, 8 cease shining on the camp west of the capital. 2 5. 18 Detained on Parting by the Two Gentlemen of the Chancellery Jia [Zhi] and Yan [Wu] and the Rectifiers of Omissions of Both Ministries (I got the rhyme yun) I must go to my fields and gardens awhile, the warhorse regrets leaving the herd. Going off far, I leave a poem on parting, 4 my sadness great, I let myself get drunk on ale. All autumn long we have suffered the rain, today for the first time there are no clouds. 1 The Hare, like the Toad, lives in the moon. 2 The temporary capital at Fengxiang.

Descending geese float on cold waters, 4 hungry crows roost on the tower of a fort. These days both court and market have changed, when will the death and destruction end?
