Back at the banquet, the colleague who was drinking asked Dr. Wu what he was doing. Cui Yun replied that Wu Lao recommended one person as the fifth Jinshi. The drinker hurriedly asked who it was, and Cui Shilang replied that it was "Du Mu". Someone next to him immediately said: I have heard of Du Mu, who has a great talent, but his conduct is not very good, he is not informal, he likes fireworks, and he is good at going in and out of entertainment venues. Cui Shilang was embarrassed and said: I have promised Dr. Wu. Even if Du Mu is a butcher or a peddler selling alcohol, I will not change. [15]

, especially in the spring, is one after another. Yao He, a poet in the late Tang Dynasty, once sighed with emotion and wrote a poem: "The apricot blossoms bloom in the head of the river, and the carriages and horses are vying to be the first. If no one looks overnight, the trees are full of dust at dusk.

At this time, Du Mu looked forward to the brilliance, and every move was "talented". When a group of three or five of them came to Qujiang Monastery, they happened to meet a monk who was meditating, and they started talking. The monk asked Du Mu's name, and Du Mu proudly reported his name, thinking that "no one in the world knows me", thinking that the monk would be surprised, revealing the fanaticism of the "star chaser". Who knew that the monk's face was calm and unaware, which made Du Mu extremely disappointed and very melancholy, so he wrote a poem on the spot: "I live next to Du Qu in the south of the city, and the two branches of fairy cinnamon are fragrant for a while." The old monks are not known surnames, and they feel that the smell of the empty door is long. ”

Zhang Haohao's poetry

In October of the second year of Yamato, Du Mu Jinshi and the next eight months, Du Mu went to Hongzhou at that time, that is, the place where Wang Bo wrote the "Preface to the Pavilion of King Teng", and began Du Mu's career in the shogunate for more than ten years. At that time, Shen Chuanshi was the observer envoy of Jiangxi, and Du Mu was summoned as the patrol officer of the Jiangxi regiment. The Shen family and the Du family were world friends, and the Shen brothers were literature lovers, who were very fond of the well-known literati at that time, and had a close relationship with Du Mu. Du Mu wrote the "Preface to Li Heji" at the invitation of Shen Shushi, the younger brother of Shen Chuanshi. Du Mu often went to Shen Shushi's house, listened to songs and dances, rubbed food and wine, and had a good impression of a singer in the Shen family, Zhang Haohao, but unfortunately the master cherished this woman very much, took the first step, fulfilled herself, and accepted her as a concubine, so that Xiao Du Kong had envy of fishing.

In the eighth year of Yamato, Xiao Du met Zhang Haohao unexpectedly in Luoyang, and Zhang Haohao at this time had become a guest in another country, making a living by selling wine. Du Mu was full of emotion and wrote a five-character poem "Zhang Haohao's Poem". Because of the full emotion, not only the writing is beautiful, but also the calligraphy is more elegant, which has won Du Mu the reputation of a calligrapher. "Xuanhe Book Pedigree" commented: "(Du) herding is a grass, and the temperament is vigorous, which is in line with its text. Qing Ye Yibao's "Jinshi Record Supplement" also gave a very high evaluation: "The book of Mu is chic and elegant, and it has won the charm of the Six Dynasties. "There are very few authentic works of the Tang Dynasty that people can see today, and this "Zhang Haohao Poem Scroll" is naturally precious and abnormal, and there are a bunch of celebrity identification seals such as Song Huizong, Jia Nidao, Nian Qianyao, and Qianlong on paper. When Emperor Puyi "hunted in the north", he did not forget to carry this volume in a hurry, and then it was personally owned by Zhang Boju, one of the four princes of the Republic of China, and donated to the government and stored in the Palace Museum.

Du Qiu Niang's poem

Xiao Du's other poem related to the singer won Du Mu a good reputation, which is "Du Qiu Niang's Poem". Du Qiuniang was originally a beautiful woman in Jinling, charming and moving, able to sing and dance, and compose poems, when she was fifteen years old, a song "Golden Silk Clothes" captured Li Qi, the envoy of Zhenhai Festival:

Persuade the monarch not to cherish the golden clothes, and persuade the monarch to cherish the youth; the flowers can be folded straight and must be broken, and the branches are broken without flowers. After Li Qi heard this, he took her as a concubine and let her spend a sweet time. Later, Li Qi raised troops against the imperial court, was defeated and killed, and Du Qiuniang was sent to the harem as a slave as a family member of a criminal minister, and continued to serve as a singing and dancing girl. Du Qiuniang captured the young Tang Xianzong with this song "Golden Silk Clothes" and was named Concubine Qiu. Although Du Qiuniang always sang the same song, she had a high IQ and often participated in military affairs without a trace, and was even favored by Emperor Xianzong. Later, Prime Minister Li Jifu persuaded Tang Xianzong to choose the world's beauties to enrich the harem, and Emperor Xianzong proudly said that I have an autumn concubine is enough. After Emperor Muzong ascended the throne, he also appointed Du Qiuniang as the nanny of the prince Li Cao. It was this appointment that embroiled her in a struggle for power. Li Miao lost power and was deposed, and Du Qiuniang was also driven back to his hometown.

Xiao Du, who went on a business trip to Jinling, saw that Du Qiuniang, who was once radiant, was now old and poor, so he wrote "Du Qiuniang's Poems". This poem was popular at the time and was sung all over the country, probably because everyone was too familiar with this popular singer. After Li Shangyin and Xiao Du got acquainted, he wrote two poems to Du Mu, one is self-humble "high-rise buildings dare to be swaying, and the short wings are not as good as the group", praising "deliberately hurting the spring and recovering from the injury, there is only Du Sixun in the world", and the other poem begins with "Du Mu Simun's word Muzhi, a "Du Qiu poem" in Qingqiu", it can be seen that "Xiao Li" also thinks that this poem is a representative work of "Xiao Du".

Ten years of covenant

When Du Mu was the secretary of Xuanzhou, he heard that Huzhou was as beautiful as a cloud, so he went to Huzhou to play. Huzhou Thorn Shi Cui Jun knows the name of Du Mu's poems and is hospitable.

Cui summoned all the famous prostitutes in the state for Du to choose. But Du Mu looked at it again and again, and said with some regret: "Beauty is very beautiful! But it is not perfect enough." He also said: "I hope to hold an entertainment event by the river, so that people from all over Huzhou can come to watch." When the time comes, I will walk slowly through the crowd, looking carefully, hoping to find someone I like. In accordance with Du Mu's wishes, Huzhou Thorn Shi held such a ferry race. On that day, the onlookers on both sides of the strait were densely packed, but Du Mu picked a day, and until the evening, he did not find a agreeable one. Seeing that the boat was about to dock, in the crowd, there was an old woman from the countryside, leading a girl, about ten years old. Du Mu looked at it for a while, and said excitedly: "This girl is really beautiful, and the previous ones are really imaginary!" and took the mother and daughter to the boat to talk. The mother and daughter were scared. Du Mu said: "It's not to marry her right away, but to set a date for marriage." The old woman said, "What should I do if I break the contract in the future?" Du Mu said: "In less than ten years, I will definitely come here to be the county guard." If you don't come for ten years, marry someone else as you want. The girl's mother agreed. Du Mu gave a valuable dowry. [16]

After the separation, Du Mu has been missing Huzhou and this girl. But Du Mu's official position is low, and he cannot submit a request for transfer to Huzhou. Later, Du Mu served as the assassin of Huangzhou, Chizhou and Muzhou, which was not Du Mu's original intention. When Du Mu's good friend Zhou Qi became the prime minister, Du Mu wrote three letters in succession, asking to be the assassin of Huzhou. In the third year of junior high school, Du Mu was forty-seven years old and obtained the position of Huzhou Thorn History. At this time, fourteen years have passed since the agreed time with the mother and daughter. The girl had been married for three years and had three children. Du Mu called the girl's mother. The old woman brought her grandson to see Du Mu. Du Mu asked, "You have promised to marry your daughter to me before, why do you break your promise?" The old woman said, "The original agreement was ten years, but you did not come after ten years." That's why I got married. Du Mu took out the covenant and looked at it, thought about it, and said, "She is very reasonable. If you force her, you will cause trouble. So he gave the old woman many gifts and let her go. For this sad thing, Du Mu wrote "Sighing Flowers".

There are also many books, and his grandfather Du You, who was the prime minister when Dezong, wrote 200 volumes of the "General Dictionary". Du Mu inherited the Du family's testament, and wrote a poem for this purpose: "The old first open Zhu Gate, the center of Chang'an City. There is nothing in the first, and the house is full of ten thousand books." Du Mu himself also read all the poems and books in his collection, and said: "The scriptures are fundamental, and the history books rise and fall." Gao Qu Song Yan, strong fragrance Ban Ma incense.

Gambling on wine and taking Ji

The great poet Du Mu of the late Tang Dynasty was very close to the famous poet Zhang Hu. Once, when Zhang, who was a guest in Huainan, went to the official mansion for a banquet, he saw that Du was also present. At that time, both of them were in love with a beautiful courtesan in the seat, so they decided to ask for dice and bet on winning or losing to determine who had the right to continue their relationship. Du Mu immediately began to chant leisurely: The dice are wrapped in their hands, and there is no reason to see the jade fiber. When Zhang Hu heard this, he was not to be outdone, and continued to groan: But it is necessary to report the fall of the golden hairpin, as if he is still showing his fingertips. As soon as the voice fell, the two of them laughed out loud, but forgot about the original gambling and prostitution. [18]
