Du Fu changed his gloomy and frustrated poetic style.
"Du Fu's Bashu career lasted for more than eight years, and he lived in Chengdu twice. He actually lived in the thatched cottage for more than three years and nine months. " Wang Fei, an expert on Du Fu's poetry, told the reporter that in the twelfth month of 759 AD, Du Fu's family entered Sichuan from Longyou and arrived in Chengdu, staying in an ancient temple near Huanhuaxi. At that time, Chengdu's economy was relatively rich. Du Fu described his first impression of Chengdu in his poem "Chengdu Mansion": "There used to be mansions all over the city, and the trees were pale in winter. This is a famous city and the spring between flutes. " The poet is eager to settle down.
"Du Fu has made many descriptions of the natural geographical environment of Chengdu, and made a comprehensive portrait of Chengdu, leaving valuable literary wealth for Chengdu." Wang Fei told reporters that Du Fu's life in the thatched cottage was happy, which made the poet "have no worldly things in his eyes, and being ill is also light". During this period, Du Fu wrote a lot of pastoral poems, including interesting stories about rural areas, farmhouses, neighborhoods and the lives of his wife and children. His For the Farmers, Jiangcunke, Madman, Tian She, Wild Old Man, South Neighbor, etc. describe the leisure and nature of the poet. The life interest of "the old lady draws paper like chess, and the young child knocks the needle as a hook" is vividly on the paper. This relaxed poetry is rare in Du Fu's poems. The climate in Chengdu is warm and humid, and it often rains at night. The dripping rain beat the poet's heart. "When it rains, it happens in spring." The famous Delighting in Rain on a Spring Night was born. "Two orioles sing green willows, and a row of egrets go up to the sky." "Huang Si's family is full of flowers, and the flowers are low. Butterflies are always dancing, and charming Yingying is just crying." Du Fu's poems such as "Four quatrains in Caotang" and "Seven quatrains in Riverside" describe the colorful, fresh and natural landscape around Caotang. Life in the Cottage changed Du Fu's gloomy poetic style in the past, and the poet's image became fuller.
Du Fu, who lives in a thatched cottage, is deeply worried about the world, and wrote such famous works as "The Hut Was Blown by Autumn Wind" which reflected the sufferings of the people at the bottom. "There are tens of millions of buildings in Ande, and the poor in the world are happy." This is the swan song of Guang Qi, who is famous at home and abroad. The brilliance of Chinese benevolence ethics has illuminated our hearts through time and space.
The folk custom of "People's Day" preserved so far in Chengdu is deduced from the story of "singing and appreciating" by famous poets Du Fu and Gao Shi in Tang Dynasty. When Gao Shi was appointed as the secretariat of Zhou Shu, he missed Du Fu. He wrote "Addendum to send Toure every day" and gave it to Du Fu: "People send poetry thatched cottage every day, pity the old friends as their hometown ... This year, people will miss each other, but next year, who knows where?" Du Fu didn't say anything at that time. He found this poem when he left Chengdu to sort out the manuscript. At this time, Gao Shi died. Du Fu thinks about people when he sees things, and his sadness comes from it. He wrote "Rewarding an old friend for a long time": "I have been writing since I was young, and I have no intention of clearing poetry for a long time. I suddenly opened my eyes this morning, tears streaming down my face, mumbling about yesterday. "
In order to commemorate their friendship, later generations chose to visit the thatched cottage on the "People's Day", where elegant people can recite poems, which has continued to this day and has now become a provincial intangible cultural heritage.
Li Bai has a soft spot for Chengdu.
Wang Fei told reporters that in China's poetry circle, not only the poet Du Fu has a close relationship with Chengdu, but also the poet Li Bai. Li Bai studied Taoism and believed in Taoism when he was a teenager. His poems were deeply influenced by Sima Xiangru's Ci and Fu in the Western Han Dynasty. Li Bai traveled in Sichuan at the age of 25 at the age of 6 1. Li Bai, brilliant and uninhibited, is the darling of heaven. Compared with Du Fu's poems, it was not until later generations that he gradually realized his importance and gained the reputation of "poet saint". Li Bai's poetic interest was too high in his early forties, and he was called "fallen immortal" by the literary giants at that time. Some scholars believe that Li Bai studied Taoism in Qingcheng Mountain when he was a teenager. In downtown Chengdu, he lives in Qinglian Lane (now Qinglian Street) near Dongjie Street.
Li Bai boarded the Scattered Flower Building in Chengdu, visited Qintai in Sima Xiangru and Yang Xiong's former residence, and wrote poems such as Climbing the Scattered Flower Building in Jincheng, and Poems on the White Head. Li Bai, a young man, wrote in "The Scattered Flowers Building in Jincheng": "The scattered flowers building starts in the morning in Jincheng Head, Rizhao. Gold window embroidered door, silver hook hanging bead foil. I'm worried about my eyes on the ladder of green clouds and clouds. The rain flows in the Three Gorges at dusk, and the spring river flows around Shuangliu. Today's visit is like a nine-day tour. " The rhetoric of the whole poem is gorgeous, which embodies the beauty of the scattered flowers building. Li Bai wrote in "Poem on a White Head": "The golden water flows eastward and northward, like a pair of mandarin ducks. The male nests in the Han palace tree, and the female gets Qin. It is better to die than to part ... "In his works, he deeply excavated the historical stories of Zhuo Wenjun and Sima Xiangru, and expressed his sympathy and concern for the tragic fate of women in feudal society. Li Bai has a soft spot for Chengdu. In "Ten Poems of the Emperor's Journey to Nanjing", he praised Chengdu: "In nine days, Chengdu will be 10% open, and thousands of households will be in the picture. The grass tree cloud is like a splendid cloud, and Qinchuan has no such thing. " My love for Chengdu cannot be expressed in words.
Xue Tao, a talented woman, made "Xue Tao Notes" specially for writing poems.
When it comes to the Tang Dynasty poets related to Chengdu, we can't help but mention Xue Tao. Wang Fei introduced that Xue Tao was born in 768 and died in 832. Chang 'an (now Xi, Shaanxi) people. His father, Xue Yun, is an official in Sichuan. When I was a child, Xue Tao came to live in Chengdu with his father. Xue Tao was a famous poetess who wrote the most poems in the Tang Dynasty. Her poems have a broad vision, including frontier poems, love poems, narrative poems, object-chanting poems and so on. Her artistic conception was ingenious and her language was clever, and she was loved and admired by poets such as Bai Juyi, Yuan Zhen, Liu Yuxi, Du Mu, Wang Jian, Wu and Duan Wenchang at that time. The mainstream evaluation of later generations is also very high. Xue Tao's poems are short and pithy. In order to write these poems, she also made and left the famous Snow Tao Jian, also known as Huanhua Jian, which was a famous product given to literary friends in the Tang Dynasty.
Xue Tao's poems, such as "Farewell to Friends" and "Temple of Langlang with Baskets", etc. , is famous for its clear words, beautiful sentences and some works with profound thoughts and concern for reality. "Autumn cloud island eight windows, crush surprisingly forty states. The general is not greedy for strong horses. See you at the top! " This poem is Xue Tao's "Side Building", which has always enjoyed a high reputation. Zhong Xing in the Ming Dynasty said: "You teach generals how thoughtful, how generous you are as a woman, and how strong you are as a generation!" Ji Yun, a poet in A Qing, said: "As the poem" Building a Border "says, its profound meaning is beyond the reach of ordinary clothes and skirts."
The charm of Chengdu attracted many poets in the Tang Dynasty.
There are countless stories about poets in the Tang Dynasty and Chengdu. In addition to "four outstanding poets in the early Tang Dynasty", Wang Bo left a timeless quatrain for Chengdu, "However, China has our friendship and heaven is still our neighbor", and many poets came to Chengdu.
When Jia Dao came to Chengdu, he wrote an inscription for Xifu Begonia Forest. "I used to hear tourists say that there are tens of thousands of Fang Fei and Jinjiang." Presumably, he had never seen such a large-scale begonia forest, and sighed in surprise: "Although Xuchang holds a healthy pen, it is poor and quiet." Li Shangyin went to Chengdu on business and was intoxicated by the fine wine there: "Chengdu fine wine can be sent to the old, but it is still Zhuo Wenjun." However, Li Shangyin did not die in Chengdu, but Cen Can, a frontier poet, died in Chengdu Guest House after being dismissed from office. Before his death, he was also in favor of the fine wine in Chengdu: "The spring wine in Chengdu smells good and is sold with money." Zhang Ji, a poet, described the prosperity of restaurants in Chengdu at that time with the poem "There are many restaurants near Wan Li Bridge, and who do tourists like to stay?".
Chengdu has left too many marks in Tang poetry. If you have the heart, you can definitely follow the poetic road back to Chengdu in the Tang Dynasty and meet the poets thousands of years ago.
