Qin Zhou and Tonggu failed to keep poets and saints, and Du Fu passed through Gansu, which became a regret that Longyou scholars could not get rid of. Du Fu really wants to live in Qin Zhou. He and Zangong monk (five or six miles away from Tianshui, on the way to Maijishan) have been to Xizhi Village several times, hoping to find a homestead to build a thatched cottage in the sun, but they failed to do so.
We might as well make an idea. If Du Fu really found a satisfactory place to build a house, what would it be like and would history be rewritten? The world-famous Du Fu Cottage is in Tianshui, not Chengdu? Will immortal poems send Qin Zhou's humanistic spirit to the highest hall in the history of China literature? Could it not be the ancestral temple of the Prime Minister, but Fuxi Temple, not Jinguancheng, but "Qin Zhou Bai Sensen"? With the poet's poems as evidence, I am not afraid of others robbing Huang Xi's hometown. According to this idea, Maiji Mountain, Nanguo Temple, Guatai Mountain and Sanyangchuan should have been famous all over the world. Imagine, if Du Fu heard the news of Zhou Qin's victory in counterinsurgency, wouldn't that famous sentence, which has made people cry for thousands of years, become "suddenly spreading thistle to the north outside Gansu"? Long Yuan has become a place that people admire and pay attention to?
After all, history cannot be rewritten, and everything is an illusion of self-entertainment. But why did Du Fu leave Longyou? Why can't you stay? The usual saying is that it is difficult to make a living, but why is it difficult to make a living? Is it just that Longyou is remote, poor, eats little and lacks the most basic living conditions, forcing Du Fu to pick herbs and acorns? Why not put yourself in Du Fu's shoes and think about the humanistic environment at that time?
Lack of official support is the most important reason. At that time, there were no Yanwu-style officials in Qin Zhou, and Du Fu could not receive special attention. There was a county magistrate in Tonggu. First, he wrote to invite Du Fu to settle in Tonggu, but after he went there, he changed his mind and put Du Fu in a dilemma. Du Fu was a small official who abandoned his post at that time, and his poem was not famous. After the Tang Dynasty, the title of poet saint was conferred by Confucian teachers and apprentices. Presumably, Longyou cultural circles didn't value this future poetry superstar at that time. Longyou is blocked, and the folk customs are blocked, which makes us indifferent and snubbs our poets.
Du Fu arrived in Chengdu quite smoothly, with the support of officials, the support of the squire, the friendliness of the neighborhood, and the singing and support of poetry friends. The thatched cottage was soon built. Du fu's body and mind also stretched. He admired Yuyan's new nest near Sha Ou, received rice from his old friends and brewed aged wine in the village. After all the hardships, I finally got my own home. Although Du Fu lived in Chengdu Caotang for only four years, it was the most symbolic place in his poetry creation career. He has been wandering all his life and has no fixed place to live. As far as his original intention is concerned, what he wants most is to live at the foot of the son of heaven in Chang 'an, so as to be an official and realize his lifelong ideal. However, Du Fu was doomed to be out of touch with the capital and the official sea, but let his poetry name go down in history forever. In Chengdu and later in Shu, Du Fu's poetic creation reached the peak of art, and Chengdu Caotang became a symbol of poetic saints.
Longyou scholars deeply regret the passing of this period of history, probably to make up for the shortcomings. After textual research, there are as many as 89 Du Fu Caotang built in Tianshui. Chengxian expanded the place where Du Fu lived for one month into Du Fu Ancestral Temple, and later renamed Du Fu Caotang as a key tourism project. In fact, Du Fu only stayed in these places for three or four months, and the room was not built. What can he say? I only hope that the poet can leave more relics in Longyou! The lingering cultural complex has made Gansu cultural people cling to more than 0/00 Longyou poems by Du Fu/KLOC, saying that they are another batch of symbolic works with new heights in ideology and artistry after the "Three Officials" and "Three Farewells", which has a great influence on later generations.
When it comes to Du Fu's poems, people can't help thinking about the evaluation of the great man Mao Zedong. He looked at Du Fu's poems from a politician's point of view, and strongly recommended the Northern Expedition and other works that reflected social conditions, while he looked at Tang poetry from a poet's point of view, saying that Du Fu's poems were less poetic and preferred Li San, especially Li Bai. This was a normal personal preference, but at that time, a top celebrity wrote a book about it, which provoked a moral lawsuit beyond literary criticism and has been despised by the academic community so far. In short, most historians and politicians regard Du Fu's poems as "the history of poetry", especially experts who study the history of literature and society, and think that each of Du Fu's poems is very important. From an artistic point of view, people prefer the poetic chapters in Du Fu's poems, and they prefer to recite those poems with endless charm, such as Moistening Things Silently, Where Petals Have Flowed Like Tears, The Yangtze River is Rolling, and Wan Li is boating. Longyou's poems, including Twenty Miscellaneous Poems of Qinzhou, are mostly narrative. I'm afraid Du Fu used poems as letters to tell his friends and relatives about his experiences. It is very valuable to study the history and social features of Longyou in Tang Dynasty, but it lacks poetry to appreciate it as a literary work.
It's a pity that Longyou failed to keep the poet and saint, but it's not the only one. This place on the dragon is very strange. It can breed many great things, but it's time to leave it to development and glory. Qin people made their fortune in Longnan and went to Guanzhong in the east, establishing the first centralized central empire in the history of China. Dabaozi Mountain in Lixian County, leaving only Qin Gong's mutilated cemetery. Coincidentally, the ancestors of Zhou people who founded the Zhou Dynasty also rose in Longdong. Looking back, Fuxi started in Tommy Tam and played gossip in the Central Plains. The Yellow Emperor was buried in Qiao Shan (now Zhengning, Qingyang City), and later sacrificed in Shaanxi Mausoleum; In history, many famous people from Gansu or their ancestral home in Gansu, such as Li Guang, Li Bai, Zhang Zhi, the founder of acupuncture, made contributions and made their mark in other places. This phenomenon seems to be hereditary. Most of the outstanding figures in politics, academia, business, art and even news and television who were born or worked in Gansu have made extraordinary achievements after leaving Gansu. Is there a lack of environmental conditions for the growth and development of talents here? Is there no humanistic care here except poverty and backwardness? Is this land only cultivated and not harvested?
Du Fu left Longyou, after all, a passer-by of history. How to find the past creative genes, optimize the environment and conditions, retain talents and attract talents in Gansu is a long-term plan, which should be planned and put into action. (Chen) According to
