Automatic writing is the process, or product, of writing material that does
not come from the conscious thoughts of the writer. The writer's hand
forms the message, and the person is unaware of what will be written. It
is sometimes done in a trance state. Other times the writer is aware (not
in a trance) of their surroundings but not of the actions of their writing
hand.
Automatic writing is used as a tool in Freudian psychology and in
related "self-knowledge" studies, where it is seen as a means of gaining
insight into the mind of the automatic writer through their subconscious
word choices.
While unconscious ideas are expressed in automatic writing, skeptics
question the likelihood that they are any more profound than the writer's
conscious thoughts.
Du Fu was a Chinese poet during the Tang Dynasty. Along with Li Po, he
is frequently called the greatest of the Chinese poets. His own greatest
ambition was to help his country by becoming a successful civil servant,
but he proved unable to make the necessary accommodations. His life,
like the country, was devastated by the An Lushan Rebellion of 755, and
the last 15 years of his life were a time of almost constant unrest. Initially
unpopular, his works came to be hugely influential in both Chinese and
Japanese poetry. He has been called "poet historian" and "poet sage" by
Chinese critics
An Lushan was a general of non-Han Turkic-Sodgian ancestry. He was
appointed by the Xuanzong emperor (following the suggestion of Yang
Guifei and with the agreement of Li Linfu) to be commander of three
garrisons in the north—Pinglu, Fanyang and Hedong. In effect, An was
given control over the entire area north of the lower reaches of the Yellow
River. With such power and land in his control (including garrisons about
164,000 strong), An Lushan planned a revolt, taking advantage of the
absence of strong troops guarding the palace and of the popular
discontent with the extravagant Tang court caused by a string of natural
disasters. He avoided suspicion by pleasing the Emperor in as many ways
as possible, even calling himself the adopted son of Xuanzong's favorite
concubine, Yang Guifei. In this way, he was protected from criticism, even
when the Chief Minister, Yang Guozhong, demanded his dismissal.
Chinese poems are typically extremely concise, omitting circumstantial
factors which may be relevant, but which could be reconstructed by an
informed contemporary.

Tall mast alone night boat
Stars fall flat fields broad
Moon rises great river flows
Name not literary works mark
Official should old sick stop
Flutter flutter what place seem
Heaven earth one sand gull
