Traveling not only opens our eyes but also gives us a chance to think and express our feelings. On the Tower at Youzhou, written by Chen Zi'ang (659—700) in the Tang Dynasty, is a great example.
Chen wrote this poem in 696. At that time, he was upset in his army career under the rule of Empress(女皇) Wu Zetian, one of the most famous female rulers in the history of China. Chen climbed to the top of Youzhou Tower and was amazed by the view of the Earth and sky. He couldn't help wondering where the great men of the past and future are, and then he created this poem.
Compared with the universe, the poet felt that people are small and unimportant. What lasts forever is the Earth and sky. That is to say, nobody can be free from death. Even so, Chen still wanted to serve his country and people in his short life. But the rulers didn't see his talents, so Chen felt sad and shed tears alone.
With the sincere feelings that fit the setting, Chen created a moving and sad scene in the poem. It is sad but not disappointing. His language is simple but still carries deep meaning. That's why the poem is still popular now.
