"Words don't astonish and die endlessly" is a poem written by Du Fu, a famous poet in the Tang Dynasty. Du Fu was called a poet and saint by later generations.

Du Fu (7 12 February 12 ~ 770), with beautiful words, is a great realistic poet in the Tang Dynasty, and is also called "Du Li" with Li Bai. Born in Gongxian County, Henan Province, his ancestral home is Xiangyang, Hubei Province. In order to distinguish Li Shangyin, Du Mu and Xiao Du Li, Du Fu and Li Bai are also called Da Du Li, and Du Fu is often called Lao Du.

The core of Du Fu's thought is benevolent government, and he has the great ambition of "making the monarch Yao and Shun superior and then making the customs pure". Although Du Fu was not famous during his lifetime, his fame spread far and wide, which had a far-reaching impact on China literature and Japanese literature. About 65,438+0,500 poems of Du Fu have been preserved, most of which are collected by Du Gongbu.

He died in the winter of the fifth year of Dali (770) at the age of 59. Du Fu's influence on China's classical poetry is far-reaching, and he is called "Poetic Sage" by later immortals, and his poems are called "Poetic History". Later generations called him Du Shiyi and Du Gongbu, and also called him Du Shaoling and Du Caotang.

Du Fu's Anecdotal Allusions

During the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, it was a great country in the world at that time. However, in this seemingly powerful country, signs of collapse have been breeding for many reasons, such as collusion. Finally, the Tang Dynasty quickly turned to the turning point of reversing the verdict-"An Shi Rebellion".

When Du Fu learned of this situation, he felt that those in power only cared about their own enjoyment and ignored people's livelihood, which would definitely lead to the demise of the country. So he wrote a poem that was later selected into the famous anthology "300 Tang Poems" with indignation, that is, a seven-character long poem named "The Second Way".

This poem has become a veritable "epic" because of its bold satire and profound exposure of the Yang family's extravagant life. Moreover, people have also summed up an idiom "spicy" from it, which is used to indicate that the first-class goods are arrogant and powerful.
