Du Fu Thatched Cottage
On the seventh day of the first month,
Read Sao drums by Huanhua River.
The sorrow of our predecessors is over,
It is a pity that there is no romantic relationship.
The legend of du fu's thatched cottage
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".
Du Fu's influence on China's classical poetry is far-reaching, and he is called "the sage of poetry" by later generations, and his poems are called "the history of poetry". 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. 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".
Du Fu's Caotang is Du Fu's former residence. When it comes to Du Fu Cottage, people will immediately say that Du Fu Cottage is not in Chengdu. How can there be a county?
A thatched cottage is a hut. After the Anshi Rebellion, Du Fu was displaced from place to place, and often settled in huts, wandering around the world and living without a fixed place. Later generations commemorated him. These houses are called "Du Fu Caotang". The Du Fu Cottage in Chengxian County mentioned here is a footprint of the poet wandering in Longnan.
In October of the second year of Gan Yuan, Tang Suzong (AD 759), Du Fu left Qin Zhou (now water), passed through Gu Chi, Tietang Gorge, Yanjing, Xia Han, Fajing Temple, Liting, Qingyang Gorge, Longmen Town, Shixian County, Jicaoling and Nigong Mountain, and reached Tonggu all the way, that is, Longnan County Longfei Gorge.
Du Fu chose a boulder with a back pillow on the west bank of Longfei Gorge, facing the canyon landscape and the hillside sheltered from the wind and sun, and built a simple shelter thatched cottage. This is the origin of Du Fu Caotang in Chengxian County.
There is a record in the "Six-year New Records of Chengxian County": "Zimei Caotang is in the mouth of Longfei Gorge, surrounded by water rings in the mountains, and the fog falls in summer, which is beautiful.
In the Tang Dynasty, Zhongjiang took refuge here. As a grass pavilion, seven songs in the same valley and various waves on the wind dish platform. Later generations feel its high wind, that is, its address is dedicated to it. "
Opposite Du Fu's thatched cottage and across the canyon is Phoenix Vegetable Mountain. There is a Phoenix Terrace on the mountain. It is named after the legend that a phoenix lived on it in the Han Dynasty. At that time, Du Fu looked at the Phoenix Mountain in the asphalt morning and evening, and the scenery of the flying dragon surrounded by mountains and rivers was calm and quiet, which not only gave Du Fu a rest, cultivated his body and mind, but also inspired him to seriously think and wish for the fate of the motherland.
In the imagination, "the pavilion lifts the wind table and faces Xikang in the north." Xibo is silent and windy today. Without a trace of mountains and roads, the stone forest is full of gas. ..... sit and watch the color get longer. Fly from the sky to the twelfth floor. The picture shows Feng Supreme. The wind is going to hang down and rest. Prosperity in light. A wash will give birth to Excellence. That's why you stayed so long. Long poem of Phoenix Terrace.
