Du Xunhe (846-907), whose real name is Jiuhuashan, was born in the late Tang Dynasty (now shitai county).
When Du was a teenager, he dropped out of school because of his poor family, went to Jiuhua Mountain to show Lin Leimeng, boarded a monastery, and studied hard in the mountains, claiming to be "the poet of rivers and lakes, the poorest in the world." When I was young, I couldn't pass the exam. It was not until 46 years old in the second year of Dashun (89 1) that he was admitted to the Jinshi (eighth place). At that time, the political situation was turbulent, and he returned to his hometown to live in seclusion before becoming an official. After entering the Southern Tang Dynasty, he was awarded a bachelor's degree in Hanlin. Knowing the patent, he soon died of illness.
Xun He is brilliant and has an endless career, but he is famous in the poetry world and good at palace ci. For a long time, in the embrace of Jiuhua Mountain, there are many poems chanting the face of Jiuhua Mountain, which have distinct colors of the times. The book Jiuhua's Old Residence in Autumn was written by a guest living in a foreign country, revealing the feelings of abandoning his official position and retiring to Jiuhua and the pain of being in a foreign land. Poems such as The Feeling of Returning to Jiuhua from Jiangxi, The Village with a Title to Live in and The Widow in the Mountain reveal the gloom of social politics, the cruelty of cruel officials, the struggle of warlords and the struggle of the people, and reflect the sufferings and aspirations of the people, which is a true portrayal of social life at that time.
Du Xunhe was a famous realistic poet in the late Tang Dynasty. He advocates that poetry should inherit the elegant tradition and oppose glitz. His poems are simple and natural, simple and clear, fresh and elegant. He is the author of Tang Feng Ji (volume 10), three of which are included in the whole Tang poetry.
