Creative Background of "Song of Thatched Cottage Broken by Autumn Wind"
This poem was written in AD In August of 761 (the second year of Emperor Suzong's reign in the Tang Dynasty). In the autumn of 759 AD (the second year of Emperor Suzong's reign in the Tang Dynasty), Du Fu abandoned his official position and went to Qinzhou (now Tianshui, Gansu), and then passed through Tonggu (now Chengxian, Gansu) to Baling.
In the spring of 760 AD (the third year of Qianyuan), Du Fu asked relatives and friends to build a thatched hut by Huanhua Creek in Chengdu. He finally had a roof over his head and lived a temporarily stable life. He felt happy and contented, so he sang about the spring rain, looked for flowers and gazed at the tower, entertained himself by the river, and entertained himself with poetry and wine. However, this superficial comfort could not conceal his poverty, nor could it dilute his consistent concern for the country and the people.
Unexpectedly, in August of 761 AD (the second year of the Yuan Dynasty), strong winds damaged the house and heavy rain followed. At that time, the Anshi Rebellion had not yet subsided, and the poet thought of all the difficulties he had experienced since the war. He could not sleep for a long night and was filled with emotions, so he wrote this popular poem.
