Agree, as well as one of the most well known Chinese poets.
I thank you and all involved in this project which gives readers a chance to learn about Chi The little I have read of Du Fu in particular strikes me as exactly what poetry ought to be - an artform, reflecting the complexity of the artists impressions, in a condensed form.
Your analysis and explanations are invaluable as the poetic tools often have no direct comparisons in English language poetry and of course, the historical and cultural references are completely new. So it is an intriguing and a valuable opportunity to learn so much.
