Chapter 809 Wonderful Review
Du Fu's wonderful comments attracted Zhang Khan Zhi's repeated applause, and his talent through heaven and earth was even more admired by Zhang Khan and other Chinese officials. His talents are not met, and it is difficult to show his life's ambitions, which also makes Zhang Cambodia and other loyal ministers sigh.
Du Fu, whose name is beautiful, is self-named Shaoling Yelao, a great realist poet of the Tang Dynasty, and Li Bai is collectively known as "Li Du". In order to distinguish himself from the other two poets Li Shangyin and Du Mu, that is, "Little Li Du", Du Fu and Li Bai are also called "Big Li Du", Du Fu is often called "Old Du", "Poetry Saint", and his poems are called "Poetry History". Later generations called it Du Shiji, Du Gong Department, also known as Du Shaoling, Du Caotang.
Du Fu created famous works such as "Spring Hope", "Northern Expedition", "Three Officials" and "Three Farewells". In the second year of the Qianyuan Dynasty (759), Du Fu abandoned his official position and entered Sichuan, although he avoided the war and lived a relatively stable life, he still cared about the common people and had national affairs in mind. Although Du Fu is a realist poet, he also has a wild and uninhibited side, and it is not difficult to see Du Fu's heroic spirit from his famous work "Song of the Eight Immortals in Drinking".
The core of Du Fu's thought is the Confucian idea of benevolence, and he has the grand ambition of "to the monarch and the gentleman, and then to make the customs pure".
Du Fu was born in the Jingzhao Du clan, a 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."
In the nineteenth year of Kaiyuan, when Du Fu was nineteen years old, he traveled to Xunfang. When he was twenty years old, he roamed Wuyue for several years. In the twenty-third year of Tang Xuanzong (735), Du Fu returned to his hometown to participate in the "Township Tribute". 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. In the autumn of the seventh year of Tianbao (748), Du Fu went to Yanzhou to meet Li Bai, and the two 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.
Du Fu lived in the historical period of the Tang Dynasty from prosperity to decline, and was born in a family of generations of "Confucian officials", and his family was knowledgeable. His early works mainly expressed ideals, aspirations, and desired life paths. On the other hand, it expresses his political ideal of "to the monarch and to the gentleman, and then to make the customs pure", during which many works reflected the people's livelihood and political turmoil at that time, exposed the ugly behavior of the rulers, and embarked on the life and creative path of worrying about the country and the people. As Tang Xuanzong's politics became more and more corrupt in the later period, his life also fell into poverty and despair day by day. In the upheaval of life.
In the sixth year of Tianbao (747), Xuanzong edicted the world to take the exam in Chang'an, and Du Fu also took 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 (751 years), Xuanzong will hold three grand ceremonies to worship Taiqing Palace, Taimiao and heaven and earth, Du Fu then offered three "Great Gifts" in the winter of Tianbao nine years, and was appreciated by Xuanzong, and ordered to be in Jixian Academy, but only had 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 (755), 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 and 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 14th year of Tianbao (755), the Anshi Rebellion broke out, and in June of the following year, Tongguan was lost, and Xuanzong fled westward in a hurry. 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 (now Fuxian County, Shaanxi) 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: "Map of the Situation for Huazhou Guo Envoy Junjin" and "Five Songs of Huazhou Trial Scholar in the First Year of Qianyuan", which offered advice for the suppression of the Anshi rebels and considered 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 to escape from Chang'an from Jinguangmen in the west of the city through the confrontation between the two armies to Fengxiang to defect to Suzong, on May 16, he was awarded the left relics by Suzong, so the world is called "Du Shizhi". 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 Zuo Shizhi, although loyal to his duties, but finally because of the Fang Xuan case, he was demoted to Huazhou Sigong in June of the first year of the Qianyuan Dynasty (758) 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 joined the army to participate in the war. "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 was 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 rounds, and finally with the help of Yan Wu and others, he built a thatched cottage on the bank of Huanhua River in the west of the city, which was known as "Du Fu's Thatched Cottage", also known as "Huanhua Thatched Cottage". Later, he was recommended by Yan Wu as a festival, and his family lived in Fengjie County, Sichuan.
In the spring of the second year of Guangde (764), 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".
In April of the third year of Guangde (765), Yan Wu died, and Du Fu left the cottage through Jiazhou, Rongzhou, Yuzhou, Zhongzhou, and Yun'an, and arrived in Kuizhou (Fengjie) in the first year of the Tang Dynasty's Great Calendar (766). 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 a climax, and in less than two years, he composed more than 430 poems. During this period, his works include "Spring Night Rain", "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.
In the third year of the Great Calendar (768), Du Fu was homesick, took a boat out of the gorge, first to Jiangling, then to the public security, and at the end of the year drifted to Yueyang, Hunan, during this period of time Du Fu has been living on the boat. Due to the difficulties of life, not only could they not return to the north, but they were forced to travel further south. In the first month of the fourth year of the calendar, from Yueyang to Tanzhou (Changsha), and from Tanzhou to Hengzhou (Hengyang), it turned back to Tanzhou......
