1, main entrance
The main entrance is the first building on the central axis of the main memorial building of Du Fu Caotang. The inscription on the main entrance "Caotang" was written by Prince Li Guoyun, the 17th son of Kangxi in Qing Dynasty and the younger brother of Yong Zhengdi. On both sides of the gate are the couplets "West House of Wan Li Bridge, North Village of Baihuatan" written by Du Fu's Two Records of Huai Jin Water Residence. These two poems clearly show the geographical location of the thatched cottage in those days, which is also the location of the thatched cottage today.
2. Daya Gallery
Daya Gallery used to be the shrine of Caotang Temple, which was officially opened in 2002. The "Daya Gallery" on the door was inscribed by Yan Zhenqing, a famous calligrapher in the Tang Dynasty. Daya Gallery exhibited the largest large-scale glazed murals and famous poet sculptures 12 in China, vividly showing Du Fu's life and the development history of China's classical poetry.

Avenue is an open hall building, the second largest building on the central axis. "Fear" is the official position, that is, the place where ancient local officials worked. Du Fu's career was bumpy and he was not reused. When Qing Jiaqing rebuilt the thatched cottage in the 16th year, Du Fu was an official and should have an office. Therefore, Deng got his name. The bronze statue of Du Fu in The Fearless is the work of Qian Shaowu, a famous sculptor in China.
5. History Museum of Poetry
The Museum of Poetry and History is the third building and the main building on the central axis. More than 1,400 poems by Du Fu vividly show the social life of the Tang Dynasty before and after the An-Shi Rebellion, and reflect the history of the Tang Dynasty from prosperity to decline. Du Fu was honored as a poet by later generations, and his poems were called "the history of poetry", hence the name "the history of poetry". There is a statue of Du Fu in the center of the hall, which was painted in a realistic way by Liu Kaiqu, a famous sculptor in China.
6. Temple of the Ministry of Industry
The shrine of the Ministry of Industry is the last and most important part of the five-fold main building. When Du Fu was in Chengdu, he was recommended by Yanwu as the minister of the Ministry of Industry, and later generations honored him as Du Gongbu, and called the shrine the memorial hall of the Ministry of Industry. In front of the shrine of the Ministry of Industry, there is a couplet inscribed in the Qing Dynasty: Jinshui Palace War, Caotang I come back. In the shrine of the Ministry of Industry, Du Fu's shrine is in the middle, and Lu You, a poet of the Southern Song Dynasty, and Huang Tingjian, a poet of the Northern Song Dynasty, are on both sides. There are also two stone statues of Du Fu in the temple, the middle of which was made by Manhe, which was carved in the 30th year of Wanli (AD 1602). Stone carving carved Du Fu into a plump and elegant figure. On the other hand, Zhang Jun copied the portrait of Du picked up by Nanxun Hall. Du Gongshi has a thin face and deep eyes. It shows the poet's anxiety about the country and the people. In addition, there are two panoramic views of the stone carvings of Caotang in the hall, which were carved in the 50th year of Qianlong in Qing Dynasty (A.D. 1793) and the 16th year of Jiaqing in Qing Dynasty (A.D.181year). The stone carving clearly outlined the style of the thatched cottage at that time.
7. Chai Men
Chai Men is the fourth largest building on the central axis and the smallest and simplest building. It turns out that Du Fu built the courtyard gate when he was building the thatched cottage. Because of its lowliness, the poet got such a name The inscription "Chai Men" on the door was written by the famous painter Pan Tianshou.
