South Tower of Kaiyuan Temple in Xuanzhou
[Author] Du Mu? [Dynasty] Tang Dynasty
The small building only has one bed, and the mountain wine is poured all day long .
It’s a pity that it rained in the gentle breeze at night, and I spent my time drunkenly banging on the window. A brief introduction to Du Mu, the author of "The South Tower of Kaiyuan Temple in Xuanzhou"
Du Mu (803-about 852), courtesy name Muzhi, also known as Fanchuan Jushi, was of Han nationality and was born in Jingzhao Wannian (now Xi'an, Shaanxi). Du Mu was an outstanding poet and essayist in the Tang Dynasty. He was the grandson of Prime Minister Du You and the son of Du Congyu. In the second year of Emperor Wenzong of the Tang Dynasty, he was awarded Jinshi at the age of 26 and was awarded the title of School Secretary of Hongwen Hall. Later, he went to Jiangxi to observe the envoys, transferred to Huainan Jiedu, and then joined the observation envoys. He was in charge of the compilation of the National History Museum, served as a member of the Ministry of Food, Bibu, Si Xunyuanwailang, and the governor of Huangzhou, Chizhou, and Muzhou. Because he lived in the Fanchuan Villa in South Chang'an in his later years, he was called "Du Fanchuan" by later generations and wrote "Collected Works of Fanchuan". Du Mu's poems are famous for their seven-character quatrains. The content is mainly about chanting history and expressing feelings. His poems are handsome and full of historical things. He achieved great success in the late Tang Dynasty.
