The Imperial Army Recovered the Banks of the Yellow River was written in the spring of 763 AD (the first year of Guangde), and Du Fu was 52 years old. In the winter of 762 AD, Tang Jun won a great victory in Hengshui, near Luoyang, and recovered Luoyang, Zhengzhou, Yanbian and other states. The rebel leaders Xue Song and Zhang Zhongzhi surrendered one after another. Du Fu is a man who loves his motherland and suffers from troubled times. At that time, he was living a wandering life in Zizhou. He was very excited when he heard the news, and wrote this famous book with warm pen and ink.
Du Fu (A.D. 7 12- A.D. 770), with beautiful words, called himself a young man with a young age. Han nationality, originally from Xiangyang, is from Gongxian County, Henan Province (now Gongyi, Henan Province). A great realistic poet in Tang Dynasty, together with Li Bai, was called "Du Li". In order to distinguish Li Shangyin and Du Mu from "Little Du Li", Du Fu and Li Bai are also called "Big Du Li".
Later generations called him Du Shiyi and Du Gongbu, and also called him Du Shaoling and Du Caotang. Du Fu wrote such famous works as Spring Hope, Northern Expedition, Three Officials and Three Farewells. In 759, Du Fu abandoned his official position and went to Sichuan. Although he fled the war and lived a relatively stable life, he still cared about his life and managed state affairs. Although Du Fu is a realistic poet, he also has a wild and unruly side. It is not difficult to see Du Fu's heroism and dry clouds from his masterpiece Song of Drinking Eight Immortals. The core of Du Fu's thought is the Confucian thought of benevolent government, and he has the great wish of "making the monarch Yao and Shun superior, and then making the customs pure". Although Du Fu was not famous during his lifetime, his fame spread far and wide, which had a far-reaching impact on China literature and Japanese literature. About 65,438+0,500 poems of Du Fu have been preserved, most of which are collected by Du Gongbu.
