One of the famous poet in early Tang period, key contributor to the final rules of Lvshi(律诗), The ex-owner of the famous Villa of Wheel Valley (辋川别业) of Wang Wei.
This poem is pretty outstanding among his poems, very simple, careless with his true feelings. The subtle feeling: the worry of uncertainty and bad luck shadows his long hot homesick.
渡汉江
宋之问
岭外音书断，
经冬复历春。
近乡情更怯，
不敢问来人。
