The feud between Gao Shi and Du Fu is mainly reflected in his poems. Gao Shi gave Du Fu a lot of help during his stay in Sichuan. Du Fu missed his friends in his later years, but he couldn't go to visit because of his busy business, so he wrote the famous "Addendum to Toure every day". This poem is full of specific historical content, which closely links personal experience with the destiny of the country.
What is the friendship between Li Bai, Du Fu and Gao Shi? Today, I will solve the mystery for you.
In the third year of Tianbao (AD 744), Li Bai and Du Fu first met in Luoyang.
Later scholars greatly exaggerated this meeting, calling it "the great gathering of the two greatest poets in the Tang Dynasty". Mr Wen Yiduo compared it to "the meeting of the sun and the moon" with the poet's rich imagination.
Therefore, this meeting has far-reaching significance and great influence. In fact, at that time, Li Bai and Du Fu were just an ordinary encounter between poets, which was not great at all, and was similar to the encounter between other poets in the Tang Dynasty.
If Lao Du was not famous for his epitaph written 50 years after Yuan Zhen's death, he was called "Poet Saint" by later generations and "Du Li" with Li Bai, it is estimated that few people knew about this meeting.
After meeting, the two became brothers. At that time, Li Bai's reputation was in full swing, and he had just been paid back and had money. Du Fu is not only ten years younger than Li Bai, but also has a different reputation.
But Du Li is Du Li, one is not proud of talent and the other is not proud of backwardness. They met in brotherly love on the basis of equality, drank, talked about poetry, chatted, traveled, and courtesies, and established a profound friendship.
Du Fu was short of money at that time. Li Bai patted him on the shoulder and said, "Brother Du, because my brother just earned 1000 yuan from the emperor, we will use this money to eat, drink and have fun, and don't think about anything else." Du Fu said indifferently, "Little brother listens to big brother."
After they broke up, they met again in autumn to visit Liang and Song Dynasties (now Kaifeng and Shangqiu, Henan Province).
In a blink of an eye, summer arrived in Qiu Lai, and they arrived as scheduled. In Liangyuan, Henan Province, they met Gao Shi, who later became a senior official of the Tang Dynasty and one of the four frontier fortress families. The three of them sang together in the poetry wine, "Drunk in autumn, hand in hand with the sky."
It left an eternal story for the history of China literature. In his later years, Du Fu recalled the grand occasion of three people traveling together in "Farewell Poetry", which was fascinating: "People who remember, talk about making friends. These two people are bold and thoughtful, which makes me look good. "
