Features: Nominal hermits are naturally pleasant to hear, but in reality, they are ultimately drifting and interesting. Not cherishing oneself before the noble, feigning madness is hard to avoid becoming real; once drunk, I whipped the famous horse, afraid that too much affection would burden the beauty. Misfortune in the southeast, heaven's cruelty, rooster's crow, wind and rain, sea's dust, sad songs and tears, what good are they in the end? Righteous men all speak of the Qin Emperor. — Yu Dafu
In Yu Dafu's prose, travel writing holds the greatest artistic charm, primarily collected in Footprints Everywhere and Yu Dafu's Travel Notes. Each of his travel essays is like a landscape scroll with diverse styles, encompassing extraordinary mountains and waters. When describing a mountain, a river, a scene, or an object, he often starts close and gradually moves outward, layer by layer, presenting the beauty of the scenery from multiple angles to the readers. Of course, while admiring the beautiful natural scenery, one can also see the vivid and emotionally rich figure of the author.
