Which poet in the Southern Song Dynasty loved cats? It was Lu You who wrote poems for cats.

Lu You (1125-1210) was born in Yinshan, Yuezhou (now Shaoxing). Shangshu Youcheng is the grandson of Lv Dian. Southern Song Dynasty writer, historian and patriotic poet.

Lu Yousheng was deeply influenced by family patriotism when he was a teenager. In Song Gaozong, Lu You took the Libu exam, but her career was not smooth because of Qin Gui's rejection.

In the seventh year of Dalu (1 17 1), Lu You joined the army at the invitation of Ambassador Wang Yan from Fu Xuan, Sichuan, and worked in Nanzheng shogunate. The following year, the shogunate was dissolved, Lu You entered Shu and met Fan Chengda.

Details are as follows:

In fact, Lu You was an ancient shovel official and a real cat slave. Looking through the poems of Lu You's life, there are 12 poems specially written for cats, such as "Give a Cat One or Two" and "Poem with the play name Cher". According to records, Lu You himself has three cats named Xiao Tu, Xue Er and Xiao Fenbi.

Xiaoyu Tu is the first cat that Lu You "hired". In ancient times, begging kittens was often to show appreciation for cats, and they would exchange fish, salt and other items, which was called hiring cats. Salute with salt is less than that with tu. In the last twenty years of Lu You's life, three kittens have been with him all the time, but it is not difficult to adjust his mentality with the kittens.

Lu You's achievement mainly lies not in the annals of the two dynasties and the history of the three dynasties compiled by him as a historian, but in the book of the Southern Tang Dynasty written by him privately. During the Southern Song Dynasty, there were 1 1 versions of historical records describing the history of the Southern Tang Dynasty, such as the History of the Old Five Dynasties edited by Xue and the History of the New Five Dynasties written by Ouyang Xiu. Lu You brought all these books and compiled them into eighteen volumes according to biographies.

The purpose of Lu You's compilation of the Book of Southern Tang Dynasty is to take history as a mirror for the Southern Song Dynasty. In this book, Lu You affirmed Li Jue, a martyr in the Southern Tang Dynasty, as "Li Ke, the great-grandson of Kelly, and the eighth son of Tang Xianzong", corrected the concept of taking the five generations of the Central Plains as the new moon, and used the words "emperor" and "I" many times in the book, expressing strong patriotic feelings through the description of the monarch's methods of governing the country, governing the people and using troops in the Southern Tang Dynasty.
