Chapter 138: Coming Together

Besides, Zhang Cambodia went out on patrol that day, and rode alone to visit Liang Shiyuan in Liantang Village, listened to Liang Shiyuan's introduction to the local customs, and talked endlessly about the twisted master Ma biting two "shrinking bones", twisting the trick, and good tricky anecdotes.

Listening, listening, before he realized that it was the fifth watch, Zhang Khan Zhi felt a little sleepy, so he stayed in Liang Shiyuan's study with his clothes, and slept until three o'clock in the morning before he woke up.

After lunch at Liang Shiyuan's house, Zhang Cambodia went back to the county office.

The next day, after returning to the county office, Zhang Cambodia's mind always came to the matter of twisting the master Ma biting Er, and he gradually wanted to visit him in person, as Liang Shiyuan said, the idea of recruiting staff and using it for the right way to benefit the people.

However, he said that Liang Shiyuan was arranging gifts and wanted to go to Shacun to visit Ma Yaner, and suddenly someone reported: "There are two gentlemen outside the door, Eguan Bo belt, very good-looking, and I came to visit each other." ”

Zhang Khan Zhizhi: "Could it be that Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived, and the person who came was Ma Biting the Second Class?" So he dressed up and went out to greet him. Regarded as Du Fu and Du Wei's two uncles and nephews. Zhang Cambodia's great joy, please enter the back hall to sit down with tea.

Du Fu was born in the Jingzhao Du clan and was a member of the Dashi clan in the north. His distant ancestor was the famous cool official Du Zhou of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and his grandfather Du Xianyan. Du Fu and Du Mu, another great poet of the Tang Dynasty, namely "Little Li Du", were both scholars and famous generals in the Jin Dynasty. However, the two tribes are far apart, Du Fu is from Du Pre's second son Du Tan, and Du Mu is from Du Pre's young son Du Yin. When Du Fu was a teenager, he lived a relatively stable and prosperous life because of his superior family environment. He has been studious since he was a child, and he can compose poems at the age of seven, "thinking at the age of seven is strong, and he sings about the phoenix", and is interested in "to Jun Yao Shun, and then make the customs pure". He was also very naughty when he was a teenager, "I remember that I was fifteen years old and still a child, and I was as healthy as a yellow calf and came back." Before the court, the pears and dates are ripe in August, and they can be on the tree a thousand times a day."

When he was nineteen years old in the nineteenth year of Kaiyuan, Du Fu traveled to Xunfang, and when he was twenty years old, he roamed Wuyue for several years. In the twenty-third year of Kaiyuan (735), he returned to his hometown to participate in the "Xianggong". In the twenty-fourth year, he took the Jinshi examination in Luoyang, and the result was the first. Du Fu's father was the Sima of Yanzhou at the time, so Du Fu went to Yanzhou Province and began his journey to Qi and Zhao.

In April of the third year of Tianbao (744), Du Fu met Li Bai, who was released by Tang Xuanzong, in Luoyang, and the two met to travel to Liang and Song together. After that, Du Fu went to Qizhou again, and after 4 years, he went to Yanzhou in the autumn to meet Li Bai, and the two of them visited the Tao together, talked about poetry and papers, and formed a friendship of "drunk and sleeping in autumn, walking hand in hand with Japan". At the end of autumn, the two shook hands and said goodbye, and Du Fu ended his wandering life of "debauchery Qi and Zhaojian, Qiu Ma was quite crazy" and returned to Chang'an.

In the sixth year of Tianbao, Xuanzong edicted the world's "one artist" to take the exam in Chang'an, and Du Fu also participated in the exam. Because Li Linfu, the minister of power, choreographed and directed a farce of "no sage", all the scholars who took the examination failed. Since the road to the imperial examination was not feasible, Du Fu had to turn around to the door of the powerful in order to realize his political ideals, and gave him gifts, but to no avail. He lived in Chang'an for ten years, ran to give endowments, was depressed, frustrated in his career, and lived a poor life.

In the first month of the tenth year of Tianbao, Xuanzong will hold three grand ceremonies to worship Taiqing Palace, Taimiao and heaven and earth, Du Fu then pre-presented three "Great Gifts" in the winter of Tianbao nine years, and was appreciated by Xuanzong, and ordered to be controlled in Jixian Academy, but only got the qualification of "participating in the selection order", waiting for distribution, because the main examiner was still Li Linfu, so he did not get the official position.

In the fourteenth year of Tianbao, Du Fu was awarded a petty official like Hexi Lieutenant, but Du Fu was unwilling to take up the official position of "not being a Hexi Lieutenant, and bending his waist for desolation", so the imperial court changed him to the right guard to lead the government soldiers Cao to join the army (a low-level official position, responsible for guarding the armor staff and managing the access control lock and key). Du Fu was forty-four years old and had been in Chang'an for more than ten years, so he accepted this useless job for his livelihood. In November, Du Fu went to Fengxian Province's house, and as soon as he entered the house, he heard crying, and it turned out that his youngest son was starving to death. Based on the feelings of Chang'an for ten years and what he saw and heard along the way, he wrote the famous "Five Hundred Words of Yonghuai from Beijing to Fengxian County".

In November of the fourteenth year of Tianbao, the Anshi Rebellion broke out, and in June of the following year, Tongguan was lost, and Xuanzong fled west in panic. In July, the crown prince Li Heng was located in Lingwu and was Suzong. At this time, Du Fu had moved his family to Qiang Village in Juzhou for refuge, and when he heard that Suzong had ascended the throne, he went north alone in August and defected to Lingwu, but unfortunately was captured by the rebels on the way and taken to Chang'an. Wang Wei, who was also captured, was strictly guarded, and Du Fu was not imprisoned because of his small official status. Despite his personal misfortunes, Du Fu was always worried about the country and the people. During the Anshi Rebellion, he always watched the development of the current situation, and wrote two articles during this period: "Diagram of the Situation of Huazhou Guo Envoy Jun Advancing and Destroying the Remnant Crown" and "Five Songs of Huazhou Trial Scholars in the First Year of Qianyuan", offering advice for the extermination of the Anshi rebels and considering how to reduce the burden on the people. When Li Siye's soldiers and horses passed through Huazhou, he wrote a poem entitled "Two Songs of Guan'an Xibing Soldiers Passing to Guanzhong on Standby", expressing his patriotic enthusiasm.

In April of the second year of Zhide (757), Guo Ziyi's army came to the north of Chang'an, Du Fu ventured from Chengxi Jinguangmen to escape from Chang'an through the confrontation between the two armies to Fengxiang to Suzong, on May 16, he was awarded the left relics by Suzong, so it was called "Du Shiji". Unexpectedly, Du Fu soon angered Suzong because of the rescue of Fang Xuan, and was demoted to Huazhou, where he was responsible for sacrifices, ceremonies, schools, elections, medical treatment, and examinations. After arriving in Huazhou, Du Fu was very depressed and troubled. He often visited the Zheng County Pavilion on the bank of Xixi to relieve his worries. In poems such as "The Pavilion of Zheng County", "The Case of the Bitter Pile in Early Autumn", "Independence" and "Thin Horse Walking", he expressed his sighs and indignation at the frustration of his career, the hot and cold state of the world, and the treacherous and slanderous. In the matter of rescuing Fang Xuan, Du Fu was rescued by Prime Minister Zhang Hao and released. But "the emperor is not very provincial", and from then on, Su Zong no longer reused Du Fu. In September of this year, Chang'an was recovered. In November, Du Fu returned to Chang'an, still serving as the left of the left, although loyal to his duties, but finally because of the implication of the Fang Xuan case, in June of the first year of the Qianyuan Dynasty (758) was demoted to Huazhou Sigong to join the army.

At the end of the first year of the Qianyuan Dynasty (758), Du Fu temporarily left Huazhou to visit relatives in Luoyang and Yanshi. In March of the following year, the Battle of Yecheng between the Tang Army and the Anshi rebels broke out, and the Tang Army was defeated. On the way back to Huazhou from Luoyang, Du Fu saw the endless disasters brought by the war to the people and the patriotic behavior of the people who endured humiliation and humiliation to join the army and participate in the war, and was full of emotion, so he worked hard to create immortal epics - "Three Officials" ("Xin'an Officials", "Stone Trench Officials", "Tongguan Officials") and "Three Farewells" ("Farewell to the Newlyweds", "Farewell to the Elderly", "Farewell to the Homeless"), and revised them out of draft after returning to Huazhou. "The eyes are full of sorrows, because people travel far away."

In the summer of the second year of the Qianyuan Dynasty (759), when there was a great drought in Huazhou and Guanzhong, Du Fu wrote "Summer Sigh" and "Summer Night Sigh", which were sad and chaotic, and lamented the suffering of the refugees. After the beginning of autumn of this year, Du Fu was distressed by the dirty current affairs, so he gave up his position as Huazhou Sigong to join the army and went west to Qinzhou. During his tenure as Sigong in Huazhou, Du Fu composed more than 30 poems. Du Fu went through several tosses, and finally arrived at the CD with the help of Yan Wu and others, on the bank of Huanhua River in the west of the city, built a thatched cottage, known as "Du Fu Thatched Cottage", also known as "Huanhua Thatched Cottage". Later, he was recommended by Yan Wu as the capital of Jiedu, and his family lived in Fengjie County, Sichuan.

In the spring of the second year of Guangde (760), Yan Wu re-suppressed Shu, and Du Fu returned to the cottage, after being adrift for nearly two years. Yan Wu recommended Du Fu as a member of the inspection department, and became Yan Wu's staff officer, and later generations called Du Fu Du Gong. Soon Du Fu resigned again. In the past five or six years, Du Fu sent people under the fence, and life was still very hard, he said: "The book of the old man of Houlu is cut off, and the hungry and childish child is desolate" ("Crazy Husband") "The idiot does not know the father-son etiquette, and he cries angrily at the east gate." He used some details of life to show the hardships of his life, he said that his children who are not sensible do not know how to respect their father, do not know the etiquette of the master, when they are hungry, whether they are fathers or not, whether they want to follow the etiquette of father and son, when they are hungry, they are clamoring for food, crying outside the east gate, and in the autumn storm, Du Fu's thatched hut is dilapidated, hungry old wife, sleepless all night, he wrote "Song of the thatched hut broken by the autumn wind".

Yan Wu died in April of the year of Guangde, and Du Fu left the CD through Jiazhou, Rongzhou, Yuzhou, Zhongzhou, and Yun'an, and arrived in Kuizhou in the first year of the Great Calendar. Due to the care of Bai Maolin, the governor of Kuizhou, Du Fu was able to live here temporarily, managed 100 hectares of Dongtun public land for the government, rented some public land, bought 40 acres of orchards, hired a few hired workers, and participated in some labor with his family. During this period, Du Fu's creation reached its climax, and in less than two years, he composed more than 430 poems, accounting for 30% of the existing works. During this period, his works include "Happy Rain on a Spring Night", "Song of the Thatched House Broken by the Autumn Wind", "Shu Xiang", "Wen Guanjun Collects Henan and Hebei", "Ascending", "Ascending Yueyang Tower" and a large number of famous works. One of the most famous poems is: "There are thousands of mansions in Ande, and the poor people in the world are happy." And in "Ascending": "Boundless falling trees and Xiao Xiao, endless Yangtze River rolling" is a swan song for the ages.

Du Fu's two uncles and nephews sat down in the back hall with Zhang Cambodia, and after tea, Zhang Cambodia asked: "Cambodia said goodbye to the two brothers, because of the government affairs, there was a missed visit." Today, the light has fallen, and I am greatly relieved and admired. ”

Du Fu said: "Fu and his nephew went out of Lin'an to travel through the famous mountains and rivers to Huizhou, heard that Prime Minister Zhang was here, and he and his nephew came to visit and went to Longshan Temple to worship the six ancestors. ”
