The Yellow River is an important motif in the history of Chinese poetry,which has been written since the Book of Songs,passed through the Six Dynasties and reached its peak in the Tang Dynasty.Du Fu's Yellow River poems inherited the fine tradition of praising the magnificent momentum of the Yellow River and conveying the feeling of homesickness.By following in the footsteps of the forefathers,the poems closely combined the natural landscapes with personal emotions,taking the Yellow River as an indicator of ambition,a topic of current affairs,and a political viewpoint,which provides the important historical value,aesthetic implication and cultural connotation for the later generations.
