In Du Fu's book, are there only Du Fu or are there many tourists?

There is no clear answer to the question of whether there are more or less tourists in Du Fu's Book of Scholars, and different interpretations have different views. The writing time of this poem is about 759 to 763, which is hundreds of years different from Zhuge Liang's time, so what Du Fu saw when he went to Wuhou Temple may be different from Zhuge Liang's time. In addition, poems often intentionally express Du Fu's personal dissatisfaction with politics at that time to some extent, and may also borrow other meaning from it.

According to the first explanation, there are few tourists in the poem, which shows that people have forgotten Zhuge Liang. This interpretation is based on the narrative writing technique of "Tongguan Nostalgia" series, which embodies a kind of historical silence and the loneliness of things being transformed, and has profound thoughts on loss and forgetting.

According to the second explanation, there are many tourists in poetry, which shows that people still miss and admire Zhuge Liang even after vicissitudes. This explanation is based on the writing style of couplets. The first two sentences describe the beauty of the environment, and the last sentence shows the poet's dissatisfaction with the politics at that time, and at the same time expresses his sorrow for the current social situation and his admiration for Zhuge Liang.

Generally speaking, Du Fu's Shu Xiang is a meaningful poem, and its meaning and connotation change with the times, background and characters. Different people may have different views on interpretation, which is also the charm of poetry.
