Introduction to the life of poet Du Mu:
1. Early career:
In the second year of Changqing (822), when Du Mu was 20 years old, he had extensive knowledge of classics and history, especially Focus on chaos and military affairs. Du Mu composed "A Fang Palace Fu" at the age of 23. At the age of 25, Du Mu wrote a long five-character poem "Poetry of Feelings" to express his views on the issue of the feudal town. At this time, Du Mu was already very famous and his works were widely circulated.
2. Transferred to another official position:
In the second year of Huichang (842), he was appointed as the governor of Huangzhou. There is no record in the history books of the reason for Du Mu's exile. Du Mu himself believed that it was the exclusion of Prime Minister Li Deyu. The Li and Du families are family friends. Why does Li Deyu dislike Du Mu? Some people think that Du Mu is a suave and informal person, which is inconsistent with Li Deyu's ideas. Du Mu has a very good personal relationship with Niu Sengru, and may be considered by Li Deyu to be a bully.
3. The twilight years of his life:
In the fourth year of Xuanzong’s reign (850), he was promoted to the rank of Yuanwailang. However, Du Mu still requested many times to release the governor of Huzhou, and after three requests in a row, he finally agreed to his request. However, some people believe that Du Mu's request to be sent abroad was not just for economic reasons, but because he was dissatisfied with the government and believed that he could not make a difference in the government. In the sixth year of Emperor Xuanzong's reign (852), he died of a serious illness in winter.
