Du Fu had a rough life. He was a great realist poet in the Tang Dynasty of my country and a world cultural celebrity. He was also known as "Li Du" together with Li Bai. Du Fu once served as a member of Zuo Shiyi and the Ministry of Inspection and Engineering, so later generations called him Du Gongbu. He is good at ancient style and rhythmic poetry, with various styles. The four words "depressed and frustrated" accurately summarize the style of his own works, and he is mainly depressed. Du Fu lived during the historical period when the Tang Dynasty was transitioning from prosperity to decline, and his poems mostly dealt with social unrest, political darkness, and people's suffering. His poems reflected the social contradictions and people's suffering at that time, so he was known as the "History of Poetry." Du Fu was concerned about the country and the people. , noble personality and exquisite poetic skills. Du Fu wrote more than 1,400 poems in his life, many of which are famous poems that have been passed down through the ages, such as "Three Officials" and "Three Farewells", and there is "Du Gongbu Collection" handed down to the world; among them, "Three Officials" is "Shihao" Officials", "Xin'an Officials" and "Tongguan Officials", the "three farewells" are "Newlywed Farewell", "Homeless Farewell" and "Elderly Farewell". Du Fu's poems have the largest and most widespread circulation among Tang poems. He is one of the most outstanding poets in the Tang Dynasty and has a profound influence on later generations. Du Fu's distant ancestor is Du Yu, who was famous in the Jin Dynasty. Great-grandfather Du Yiyi once served as Gong Ling. His grandfather was Du Shenyan, a poet in the early Tang Dynasty, who was an official and a member of the dining department and had his own autobiography. In his youth, he traveled to what is now Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Hebei, and Shandong, and met Li Bai twice. The two formed a deep friendship. His father, Du Xian, held the position of Fengtian. Du Fu and Du Mu are distant relatives, and they are both descendants of Du Yu, the general who destroyed Sun Wu in the Jin Dynasty (Du Fu is the 20th grandson of Du Yu).
[Edit this paragraph] Du Fu's life
Du Fu was born in a family with a "Confucianism and officialdom" and a literary tradition. He is the grandson of the famous poet Du Shenyan. He studied poetry at the age of 7 and became famous at the age of 15. He was unsuccessful in his life and only served as some minor officials such as Zuo Shiyi. Although later generations were called the "Sage of Poetry" and poetry was called the "History of Poetry", they were not popular among people in the Tang Dynasty. of attention. There is a poem called "Six Quatrains for a Play (Part 2)" which is written about the "Four Heroes of the Early Tang Dynasty": "Wang Yang, Lu Luo, the style of the time, frivolous and frivolous, the literature has not stopped; Er Cao's body and name will be destroyed, and the eternal flow of rivers will not be wasted." There are many self-comparisons among poets, and Du Fu's experience and poetry creation can be mainly divided into four periods: 1. The period of reading and wandering (before the age of thirty-five). The so-called "the debauchery between Qi and Zhao, the Qiu Ma is quite wild". In the 19th year of Kaiyuan (when he was 20 years old), he began to roam around Wuyue. Five years later, he returned to Luoyang to take the exam, but failed. After that, Du Fu roamed around Qi and Zhao again. Later, he met Li Bai in Luoyang. The two met late and forged a deep friendship. Then they met Gao Shi. The three of them traveled together in Liang and Song Dynasties (today's Kaifeng and Shangqiu). Later, Li Du went to Qizhou again. They met Donglu and parted again. This was the last meeting between the "Poetry Immortal" and the "Poetry Sage". 2. The period of being trapped in Chang'an (thirty-five to forty-four years old) During this period, Du Fu first took the examination in Chang'an and failed. In order to achieve the goal of gaining power over the government and the public, Li Linfu, the prime minister of the dynasty, actually told Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty that no one had been selected. Later, he presented gifts to the emperor and gave gifts to the nobles, and lived a life of "taking care of the rich in the morning, following the fat horse in the evening, leaving cups and cold dishes, and hiding sorrow everywhere". Finally, he was led by the right guard to join the army. (Mainly the position of a minor official who guards armor, weapons, and keys to the treasury). During this period, he wrote poems such as "The Journey of Military Chariots" and "The Journey of Beauties" that criticized current affairs and satirized the powerful. "Five Hundred Words on Empathy from Beijing to Fengxian County" is particularly famous, marking that his understanding of court politics and social reality has reached a new height after experiencing ten years of hard life in Chang'an.
3. The period of being trapped by traitors and serving as an official (forty-five to forty-eight years old). The Anshi Rebellion broke out and Tongguan fell. Du Fu settled his family in Yanzhou and went to Suzong alone. On the way, he was captured by the Anshi rebels. Taken to Chang'an. Facing the chaotic Chang'an and hearing the news of repeated defeats of the army, he wrote poems such as "Moonlight Night", "Spring View" and "Aijiangtou". Later he absconded to Fengxiangxingzai and worked as Zuo Shiyi. Because of his loyal words and outspoken advice, Shangshu was demoted to Huazhou Si Gong and joined the army. After the defeat, Suzong inquired about the crime. Du Fu began to work for Zuo Shiyi and said that Fang Guan was not guilty. Suzong was angry and wanted to question the crime, but fortunately he was freed). Later, he truly recorded his experiences in the form of poetry, which became his immortal works, namely "Three Officials" and "Three Farewells". "Three Officials": "Shihao Officials", "Xin'an Officials", "Tongguan Officials"; "Three Farewells": "Newlywed Farewell", "Homeless Farewell", and "Elderly Farewell". 4. Period of Wandering in the Southwest (48 to 58 years old) With the defeat of the army in Xiangzhou in the Ninth Festival and the famine in Guanfu, Du Fu abandoned his official position and fled with his family and people, passing through Qinzhou, Tonggu and other places, and arrived in Chengdu , lived a relatively stable life. When Yan Wu entered the dynasty, the warlords in Sichuan rebelled, and he drifted to Zizhou and Langzhou.
Later, Yan Wu served as the Jiedushi Envoy of Jiannan to photograph Chengdu. Du Fu defected to Yan, and Yan Wu died. He wandered again, living in Kuizhou for two years, and then drifted to Hubei and Hunan, where he died of illness on the Xiangjiang River. During this period, his works included a large number of masterpieces such as "Spring Night Joyful Rain", "Song of Thatched Cottage Broken by Autumn Wind", "The Prime Minister of Shu", "Hearing the Official Army Takes Henan and Hebei", "Climbing High", "Climbing the Yueyang Tower" and so on. One of the most famous poems is: "There are tens of thousands of vast buildings, and the poor people in the world are covered with joy." And in "Ascend the High": "The endless falling trees rustle, the endless Yangtze River rolls in" is an eternal masterpiece.
[Edit this paragraph] Personal influence
Du Fu is good at using many systems of classical poetry and developing them creatively. He is the pioneer of Han Yuefu poetry style. His Yuefu poems contributed to the development of the New Yuefu Movement in the mid-Tang Dynasty. His May 7 ancient novel is both poetry and history. It unfolds the narrative, but also focuses on the convolution of the entire article, marking a high achievement in the art of poetry in my country. Du Fu also showed significant creativity in the Five and Seven Rhythms, and accumulated complete artistic experience in rhythm, antithesis, word and sentence refining, etc., bringing this genre to a fully mature stage. Du Fu (712-770), whose courtesy name was Zimei, sometimes called himself Shaoling Yelao in his poems. He was born in Xiangyang (Gongxian County, Henan Province) to a landowning family that "obeys Confucianism and guards officials". His grandfather Du Shenyan was a famous poet during Wu Zetian's time, and his father Xian was once the Sima of Yanzhou and the magistrate of Fengtian County, so he also enjoyed the benefit of not paying taxes. Not subject to military service and other privileges. But he experienced ups and downs in his life. He began to recite poetry at the age of seven. "Reading more than ten thousand volumes" and "reciting thousands of books in secret" prepared sufficient conditions for his creation. When he was twenty years old, he began to travel south to Wuyue and then to Qi and Zhao. During his ten-year tour, he enjoyed the famous mountains and rivers of his motherland, which not only enriched his life, but also broadened his horizons and mind, giving his early poems a strong romantic flavor. In the fifth year of Tianbao reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty (746), the 35-year-old Du Fu came to Chang'an. The next year, he took part in the examination ordered by Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. Due to the obstruction of the treacherous minister Li Linfu, none of the candidates were admitted. From then on, he had no way to make progress and lived a humiliating life of "having a rich boy in the morning and a fat horse in the evening." This also made him see the pain of the lower class people and the sins of the ruling class, so he wrote "The Troops and Chariots", It was not until the 14th year of Tianbao's reign (755) that he was given the post of "Youwei led Cao to join the army" and was responsible for guarding the Bingjia Warehouse. In the same year, the "Anshi Rebellion" broke out. At this time, Du Fu was visiting his family in Fengxian (Pucheng, Shaanxi Province). The next year, he settled his family in Qiang Village, Fuxian County (in Shaanxi Province), and went to Lingwu (Gansu Province) to join Su Zong, who was defeated by the rebels on the way. He was captured and taken to Chang'an after the fall. During this period, he witnessed the atrocities of the rebels' killings and looting and the suffering of the people. It was not until April of the second year of Zhide (757) that he took the risk and fled to Fengxiang (Shaanxi), Suzong's temporary residence. Fengxiang County, Guangdong Province), was awarded the title of Zuo Shiyi. Soon after he went to rescue Fang Yugong, he was demoted to Huazhou Sigong and joined the army. From then on, he was repeatedly criticized and gained a deeper understanding of the social reality of the people. He provided material for his creations such as "Spring Look", "Aijiangtou", "Northern Expedition", "Three Officials", and "Three Farewells", and brought his poems to the peak of realism. People travel far. "In 759, he abandoned his official position and traveled westward with his family. After many twists and turns, he finally arrived in Chengdu. With the help of Yan Wu and others, he built a thatched cottage on the bank of Huanhua River in the west of the city, which is known as "Du Fu Thatched Cottage" in the world. "Huanhua Cottage" was later recommended as the capital of the festival, and his family lived in Fengjie County, Sichuan. Two years later, he left Fengjie County and traveled around Jiangling and Hengyang. In the fifth year of Dali of the Tang Dynasty (770), the poet died of illness in Xiangjiang River. In a small boat, during the last eleven years of his wandering in the southwest, although he lived a life like "everyone else", he wrote "The Song of Thatched Cottage Broken by the Autumn Wind", "Hearing that the Government's Army Takes Henan and Hebei", "Autumn Rise", "Sui Yan Xing" and more than a thousand poems
[Edit this paragraph] Du Fu's Thoughts
The core of Du Fu's thoughts is Confucianism. The grand ambition of "delivering to the emperors Yao and Shun, and making customs pure". He loves life, loves the people, and loves the great rivers and mountains of the motherland. He hates evil and sympathizes with the corruption of the court and the dark phenomena in social life. The people are even willing to make sacrifices to relieve the suffering of the people. Therefore, his poetry creation always runs through the main line of concern for the country and the people, with the most ordinary people as the protagonists. This shows the richness of Du Fu's poetry. With its social content, strong color of the times and distinct political tendency, it truly and profoundly reflects the political current affairs and the broad picture of social life in a historical era before and after the Anshi Rebellion. Therefore, it is called the "poetry style" of a generation, which is basically "Du Shi's style". "Depressed and frustrated", the language and chapter structure are full of changes, and they pay attention to the refinement of words and sentences. At the same time, his poems have a variety of styles. In addition to the five ancients, seven ancients, five laws, and seven laws, he also wrote a lot of arranged rhythms and flexible styles. There are also various artistic techniques, and he is the master of Tang poetry thought and art. Du Fu also inherited the spirit of "feeling sad and happy, inspired by events" in the Yuefu of the Han and Wei Dynasties. He got rid of the shackles of ancient Yuefu titles and created many "instant names". Chapters, "no more relying on" Yuefu with new titles, such as the famous "Three Officials", "Three Farewells", etc. After his death, he was vigorously praised by Fan Huang, Han Yu, Yuan Zhen, Bai Juyi and others. Du Shi's praise of Yuan Bai The literary and artistic thought of the "New Yuefu Movement" and Li Shangyin's modern allegorical poems had a profound influence. However, it was only after the Song Dynasty that Du's poetry received widespread attention.
Wang Yucheng, Wang Anshi, Su Shi, Huang Tingjian, Lu You and others highly praised Du Fu. Wen Tianxiang even regarded Du Fu's poems as the spiritual force to uphold national integrity. The influence of Du Shi, from ancient times to the present, has long gone beyond the scope of literature and art. For details of his life, please see Volume 190 of "Old Book of Tang". Although Du Fu is a realist poet, he also has a wild and uninhibited side. It is not difficult to see Du Fu's heroic spirit from his famous work "Song of the Eight Immortals in Drinking".
[Edit this paragraph] Three Officials and Three Farewells
The "Three Officials" and "Three Farewells" are respectively "Xin'an Officials", "Shihao Officials", "Tongguan Officials" and "Wedding Farewell" "Farewell to the Elderly" and "Farewell to Homeless" are masterpieces of Du Fu's realist poetry. It truly describes the thoughts, feelings, actions, and language of county officials, officials, old women, old men, brides, husbands, etc. under specific circumstances, and vividly reflects the social reality of that period and the profound disasters of the working people. and pain, showing people scenes of miserable life tragedies. In these descriptions of the sufferings of life, on the one hand, the poet expressed deep sympathy for the suffering people and abhorred the slavery and persecution imposed on the people by the officials; on the other hand, he supported the dynasty's war to quell chaos and hoped that the people Endure the hardships and cooperate with the dynasty to put down the rebellion. This complex and contradictory thought is in line with the poet's concern for the country and the people. Du Fu's Thatched Cottage on the bank of Huanhua Creek in the western suburbs of Chengdu was Du Fu's residence after arriving in Chengdu. In the fourth year of Dali of the Tang Dynasty (769), Du Fu entered Hunan from Hubei, climbed the Yueyang Tower, visited Dongting Lake, and went up the Xiangjiang River to Leiyang. He died of illness in April of the following year. According to the "Old Tang Book. Biography of Du Fu", Du Fu was visiting the Yue Temple in Leiyang.
