Three Stages of Life

1. Youth (Prosperous Tang)
Traveling the world with vigor and ambition
Representative Work: "Gazing at Mount Tai"
→ I will climb to the highest peak, overlooking all the mountains as small.

2. Middle Age (Anshi Rebellion)
Experiencing war firsthand, caring for the nation and its people
Representative Works: "Spring View," "Three Officials and Three Farewells"
→ The country is broken, but the mountains and rivers remain; spring in the city, lush grass and trees everywhere.

3. Old Age (Wandering in the Southwest)
Homeless, with a heart tied to the common people
Representative Work: "Song of the Thatched Cottage Destroyed by Autumn Wind"
→ How I wish I had millions of grand mansions, a large shelter for all the cold scholars under heaven to rejoice.
