Features: In name, it is naturally pleasant to be a hermit, but in reality, it is ultimately interesting to drift. Not cherishing oneself before the noble, feigning madness is hard to avoid becoming real. Once drunk, I whipped the famous horse with wine, afraid that too much affection would tire the beauty. Fated misfortune in the southeast, heaven's cruelty, the rooster crows, the wind and rain rise, the sea stirs dust, sorrowful songs and tears, what good are they? Righteous men speak of the Qin emperor one after another. — Yu Dafu
In Yu Dafu's prose, travel writing possesses the greatest artistic charm, mainly collected in Footprints Everywhere and 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 from the nearby and gradually expands outward, 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 author.
