In August three years ago, I went to a place in Santai related to Du Fu.
?Du Fu resigned from office and went west to Shu in 759 AD to 762 AD. He lived by the Huanhua River in Chengdu, where he built the world-famous Du Fu Thatched Cottage, leaving behind endless masterpieces... In the next two years, he spent the next two years avoiding the sword. Nan Sima sent Xu Zhizhiluanliu to live in Zizhou (Santai) and started a "caotang" again.
According to historical records, in 762 AD, Du Fu, who abandoned his official position and went to Shu, encountered war again. In desperation, the poet had to flee from Chengdu, where the Jiedushi was governed by the Xichuan Jiedushi, to Dongchuan, where the Jiedushi was governed. Zizhou. "The world is in turmoil and I have been a guest for a long time, and the road is difficult and difficult." Here, Du Fu spent another period of his difficult life under the shelter of others. However, in one year and eight months, he wrote many works including More than 100 poems, including famous ones, are still talked about by people today.
? Santai Du Fu Thatched Cottage is the second largest Du Fu memorial hall in Sichuan after Du Fu Thatched Cottage in Chengdu. It is located on Niutou Mountain in the west of the city. Climbing up the stone steps, you can see the tall stone statue of Du Fu and the archway. People suddenly feel admiration, and Du Fu's poems surge into their hearts... The pavilions and pavilions in the thatched cottage are full of lotus ponds, and the long corridor of the poetry, calligraphy and painting exhibition room is full of glory.
Above the gate is the banner "Du Fu Thatched Cottage" specially inscribed for Zizhou Thatched Cottage by Shu Tong, a famous Chinese calligrapher. The couplets on both sides are: "In different generations and in different times, we ask such questions about the country, the dragon crouching and the tiger crouching, how many poets and guests , Mr. also lives in the Thatched Cottage of Changliu Tiandi Yuebai Fengqing." This couplet was written by Gu Fuchu, a great scholar in the Qing Dynasty, and written by Yu Liqun, a famous calligrapher.
At that time, Du Fu lived on East Street (in today’s Santai Middle School), and later generations called it the Thatched Cottage of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce on Santai East Street, but the building of the thatched cottage has now disappeared. In order to commemorate the poet, Zhang Huinan, the magistrate of Tongchuan Prefecture in the Ming Dynasty, presided over the construction of the Ministry of Industry Thatched Cottage on the top of Niutou Mountain. It is a commemorative Ministry of Industry Thatched Cottage.
Shisheng Square is located on a flat land on the top of the mountain, closely connected with Du Fu Thatched Cottage, Juxian Tower and Zizhou Pavilion. The statue of Du Fu is located at the intersection of the central axis of the square and the gate of the thatched cottage. Its charm of concern for the country and the people is the true expression of the poet's love for the common people at that time. Four monuments are placed in the square, which are respectively engraved with "Du Fu and Zizhou", "Zizhou, the poet sage, has many scenic spots", "Du Fu's two thatched cottages in Zizhou" and "the first quick poem in his life" written by the poet sage when he lived in Zizhou. ""Wen Guanjun took over Henan and Hebei".
The concept of the garden comes from Du Fu's "On the Niutou Temple" "The temple is quiet with thick spring flowers, and the bamboos are thin and the wild pond is quiet". In the garden, there are scattered rocks and dense flowers and trees, which contrast with each other. The full-length white marble statue of Du Fu standing in the wild pond - casually dressed in Confucian scarf, with a clear face, cold eyes and elegant expression, reproduces his difficult life in Zizhou and his noble sentiments of caring for the country and loving the people.
After that, Du Fu moved his family eastward and stayed in Hezhou for three years. He also left the Three Gorges and wandered in Hunan and Hubei for two years, and died in a boat...
