Fortunately, war and suffering often breed great poems and great poets.
On May 16, 757 AD, Du Fu was personally awarded the post of left gleaning, so the deceased called Du Fu "Du gleaning". However, Du Fu, who has a part-time job, is not at ease. On the contrary, Du Fu, who lived in the enemy-occupied area, witnessed the depression in Chang 'an City and had mixed feelings. He wrote the famous sentence "Spring Hope", which was passed down through the ages: "Although the country is divided, the mountains and rivers last forever, and the vegetation is spring. Sad state, can not help but burst into tears, amazing birds, leaving sorrow and hate. The war lasted for more than half a year, and letters from home were rare, with a hundred thousand gold. I stroke my white hair. It has become so thin that it can no longer hold hairpins. "
The first four sentences of "Spring Hope" describe the miserable and dilapidated scene of Chang 'an in spring, with ups and downs. In the last four sentences, the poet's feelings of caring for relatives and state affairs are full of bitterness and indignation. The whole poem is rigorous in meter, exquisite in antithesis and solemn and stirring in voice, which fully shows Du Fu's patriotic feelings. When the national grief, people's pain and personal pain are linked, Du Fu's touching and timeless poem came into being.
In March 759, Tang Jun and Anshi rebels fought in Yecheng (now Anyang, Henan), and Tang Jun was defeated. At this time, Du Fu is on his way back to Huazhou from Luoyang to visit relatives. Seeing the endless disasters brought to the people by the war and the patriotic behavior of the people joining the army, he was deeply moved and wrote immortal epics-"Three Officials" and "Three Farewells". At this time, although Chang 'an has been recovered, the Anshi rebellion continues, and the Tang Dynasty has long since ceased to be prosperous. As for Du Fu, he was nearly half a century old, sickly and desperate for his career.
In the winter of 770 AD, Du Fu wrote his last poem on a stormy boat in Dongting Lake. He slept with a pillow on a windy boat and died suddenly at the age of 59. "Sun still relies on risks, but Hou Jing has not been captured. The letters are wide and the battle is deep. Fear people for thousands of miles, ask the vulgar Kyushu for advice. The blood flow remains the same, and the military voice has moved to this day. " Even at the end of his life, Du Fu still cares about the country and the people, and his heart is tied to the world!
