Du Fu's Late Years, Poetry and Background

When the Anshi Rebellion broke out and Tongguan fell, Du Fu settled in Zhangzhou and went to Suzong alone. He was captured by the Anshi Rebellion and taken to Chang 'an. In the face of chaos in Chang 'an, he heard the news that the loyalist troops were repeatedly defeated, and wrote poems such as Moonlit Night, Spring Hope and Love for the Head of the River. Later, he fled to Fengxiang to cheat and made a collection. Because of this suggestion, Prime Minister Fang Yi was demoted to join the army. (Fang Yi is a typical intellectual, but unrealistic. He fought against the rebels and adopted the Spring and Autumn Array, which resulted in a crushing defeat. Du Fu began to collect the left remains and wrote that Fang Fang was innocent. Su Zong was angry and wanted to find fault. Later, he recorded his experiences in the form of poems and became his immortal works, namely "Three Officials" and "Three Farewells".

With the collapse of Xiangzhou loyalist and the famine of Guanfu, Du Fu abandoned his official and fled with his family, passing through Qin Zhou and Tonggu, and lived a relatively stable life in Chengdu. When he entered the DPRK, the warlord in the middle of Shu rebelled and he went to Zizhou and Langzhou. After Yanwu filmed Our Times in Chengdu, Du Fu went to Yanwu and Yanwu died. He drifted again, lived in Kuizhou for two years, drifted to Hubei and Hunan, and died on the Xiangjiang River. During this period, his works include Delighting in Rain on a Spring Night, Autumn Wind Broke the Straw Shed, Shuxiang, Yellow River Banks Recovered by the Imperial Army, Gordon, Moon Landing Building and many other famous works. One of the most famous poems is: "An De Wan Lou, all the poor people in the world are happy." And the "leaves fall like waterfalls, and I think the long river always rolls forward" in "To the Top" is a swan song.

Climb the peak

Author: Du Fu (Tang Dynasty)

The wind is fast and high, the ape cries sadly, and the birds are circling in the white sand.

The endless trees are rustling leaves, and the Yangtze River is rolling unpredictably.

Li in the sad autumn scenery, a wanderer all the year round, lives alone on the high platform in today's illness.

After all the hardships and hatred, the white hair is full, and the wine glasses are damaged.

Ascending the Mountain is a seven-metrical poem written by Du Fu, a great poet in the Tang Dynasty, in Kuizhou in the autumn of the second year of Dali (767). The first four sentences describe the scenery, describe the experience of climbing mountains, closely follow the seasonal characteristics of autumn and describe the empty and lonely scenery by the river. The first couplet is a partial close-up, and the couplet is an overall vision. The last four sentences are lyrical, describing the feelings of climbing mountains. Around the author's own life experience, they express the sadness of being poor, old and sick, and living in another country. The neckband hurts their life experience and reveals the meaning of metaphor, symbol and suggestion contained in the first four sentences of landscape writing. Tailian complained again, shutting down with the self-image of depression and disease. The language of this poem is concise, the whole poem is dual, and one or two sentences are still correct, which fully shows that Du Fu's mastery and application of poetic language temperament in his later years has reached the realm of tact.
