Whose poem is Guazhou's Two Stars on Fire?

The Fire of Two Stars and Three Stars was written by Guazhou in Zhang Hu's Nanjing Ferry in the Tang Dynasty.

Spending the night on the mountain at Jinling Ferry, trouble sleeping, is full of dreams about home and mother.

The tide sets on the moon, and the second and third fires in Guazhou.

This poem was written by Zhang Hu when he spent the night at Zhenjiang Ferry. Facing the night view of the Yangtze River, he expressed his melancholy in the journey and showed his loneliness and desolation. The language of the whole poem is simple and natural, and the picturesque night scene on the river is described as quiet and melancholy, elegant and fresh.

The first two sentences of the poem are about the place to spend the night and the troubles of traveling. The poet spent the night in a small building by the river. Because far from home, he felt a faint homesickness:

"Jinling Jindu Mountain Building, pedestrians can worry for one night." There is a small building at Jinling Ferry near Zhenjiang. Travelers who stay overnight can't sleep, and their hearts are full of endless homesickness.

The last two sentences are about the night view of the Yangtze River. Looking out from the porch of the mountain, I saw the ebb tide and the waning moon setting in the west. On the lonely river, I suddenly saw some lights flashing like stars in the distance:

"In ebb tide and slanting moon, two or three fires are Guazhou." As the sun sets, the river tide has just receded. When will the lights flash across the other side, which may illuminate Guazhou on the other side?
