I drink the sun and the moon from my wine glass, and leisurely ask the universe in a poem:
To the ancestors of Zheng
[Author] Du Xunhe? [Dynasty] Tang Dynasty
The sword in the box has not repaid the favor, nor has it met the man.
I swallowed the sun and moon from my wine glass, and asked about the universe with my poems.
I would rather quit Laoguan Road than Mazu, and I would rather be a fishing rod and remember the water village.
Three hundred poems are painted on the temples, and I can’t even pretend to write about who is next to me.
A brief introduction to Du Xunhe, the author of "Tour to the Ancestors of Zheng"
(846-904), a poet of the Tang Dynasty, with the courtesy name Yanzhi, a native of Jiuhuashan, and a native of Shidai, Chizhou (now Shitai, Anhui) . Born into a humble family. He went to Chang'an several times to take the exam, but he returned home after failing to pass. When Huang Chao's uprising army swept across Shandong and Henan, he returned home from Chang'an. From then on, he "lived in tobacco for fifteen years" ("Coming out of the mountains after the chaos and met with high-ranking officials"), and lived a life of "the world is rich in articles, and the mountains are fertile for farming" ("The Works in the Mountains after the Rebellion").
After that, he traveled to Daliang (now Kaifeng, Henan Province) and presented 10 poems of "Shi Shi Xing" to Zhu Wen, hoping that he would save himself from corvee and pay too little, which was not in line with Wen's wishes. When he was staying in a monk's temple, Zhu Wen's subordinate Jingxiang persuaded him to "cut off the ancient style a little, and then he can enter the body", so he wrote thirty chapters of poems in praise of virtue to please Wen.
It is said that Du Xunhe was the son of Du Mu’s concubine. Born into a humble family. He went to Chang'an several times to take the exam, but he returned home after failing to pass. When Huang Chao's uprising army swept across Shandong and Henan, he returned home from Chang'an. From then on, he "lived in tobacco for fifteen years" ("Coming out of the mountains after the chaos and met with high-ranking officials"), and lived a life of "the world is rich in articles, and the mountains are fertile for farming" ("The Works in the Mountains after the Rebellion").
