Du Fu
Prime Minister of Shu Du Fu
Where can I find the ancestral hall of the Prime Minister? There is a lot of people outside Jinguan City.
The green grass reflects the spring color on the steps, and the oriole sounds good in the sky through the leaves.
Three visits to trouble the world, two dynasties to open the hearts of old ministers.
He died before leaving the army, which made the hero burst into tears.
Creative background
The poem "The Prime Minister of Shu", according to Qiu Zhaoao's annotation, was dated to the spring of 760 AD (the first year of Emperor Suzong's reign in the Tang Dynasty), when Du Fu "composed it when he first arrived in Chengdu". In December of 759 AD (the second year of Emperor Suzong's reign in the Tang Dynasty), Du Fu ended his four-year wandering life in Qinzhou and Tonggu (now Chengxian County, Gansu Province) and arrived in Chengdu. With the help of friends, he Settled by the Huanhua River. Chengdu is the place where the Shu Han Dynasty established its capital. There is Zhuge Liang Temple in the northwest of the city, which is called Wuhou Temple. In the spring of the first year of Shangyuan (AD 760) by Emperor Suzong of the Tang Dynasty, he visited Zhuge Wuhou Temple and wrote this touching and eternal song.
In 221 AD (the first year of Zhangwu of the Shu Han Dynasty), Liu Bei proclaimed himself emperor in Chengdu, the country was named Han, and Zhuge Liang was appointed prime minister. "Shu Xiang" means the prime minister of the Shu Han Kingdom. The title of the poem is "Shu Xiang". It's Zhuge Liang. Although Du Fu cherished the political ideal of "Serving Jun Yao and Shun", his official career was bumpy and his ambition could not be realized. When he wrote the poem "Prime Minister of Shu", the Anshi Rebellion had not yet subsided. He saw that the country was in dire straits and the people were in ruins, but he had no way to find a job or serve the country. Therefore, he had infinite admiration and respect for Zhuge Liang, who created the foundation and saved the current situation.
