The story behind Du Fu's Thatched Cottage|| The story behind 'River Village'
|| The story behind 'River Village'.
Today I want to talk about a rather light-hearted poem 'River Village':
A clear river embraces the village, the long summer village is quiet;
The swallows come and go on their own, the gulls in the water are close to each other.
The old wife draws a chessboard on paper, the young son makes a fishing hook with a needle;
But there are old friends who provide for food, what more can I ask for with this small body?
That year, with the help of friends like Yin Pei and Gao Shi, the governor of Shu State,
Du Fu and his family finally settled down in the Thatched Cottage by the Huanhua Creek.
He finally had a moment of leisure and tranquility, and could enjoy a little bit of peaceful days.
He watched the clear river flowing by the village, the swallows fluttering in front of the hall, the gulls playing freely in the water, and looked at his wife and children, each with their own joy, a sense of happiness welled up. In the turbulent times of the Anshi Rebellion, having a place to live, having a wife and children to accompany, having food to eat, leisure and tranquility, what else to worry about?
So 'River Village' can be said to be the best situation for the people of Guanzhong to take refuge in Shu, Du Fu should just be one of them, just a little better.
Du Fu's position in the history of poetry is well known, being hailed as the Poet Saint, naturally in this field, has reached the highest realm. He left more than 1450 poems in his life, Yuan Zhen commented: 'He surpasses the elegance of the past, embodies the depth of Shen and Song, his words surpass Su and Li, his spirit surpasses Cao and Liu, he hides his face in the lofty solitude of Xie, and mixes the flowery beauty of Xu and Yu, he has all the styles of the past and present, and also has what everyone specializes in.
But Du Fu was able to leave so many high-quality poems, in fact, he also needs to thank a person, and this person is Du Fu's wife.
Du Fu had only one person to accompany him in his life, at the age of 29, he married the daughter of Yang Yi, the junior minister of agriculture at the time.
We all know that before the Anshi Rebellion, Du Fu was stranded in Chang'an for ten years seeking an official position but not getting one, because the cost of living was too high, he had to place his wife and children in Fengxian County. He finally got a position as a junior military officer in the Right Guard Rate's office, but the next month the Anshi Rebellion broke out. After that, Du Fu's life was even more difficult. He wanted to follow Emperor Suzong, but like Wang Wei, he became a scapegoat and was captured by the rebels, and for a time all news was cut off, it is imaginable how difficult it was for his wife, who was struggling to survive with their children.
Despite such difficulties, Du Fu's wife, Mrs. Yang, was still able to handle it well.
Fortunately, Du Fu escaped, they moved around Qinzhou, Tonggu and finally came to Shu, so there was the plain and comfortable life in 'River Village'.
We don't see much of Du Fu's depiction of his wife, but we can see from Du Fu's experience his deep affection and gratitude for his wife, it can be said that without his wife Yang, there would be no stable rear for Du Fu, without Yang, perhaps his poems would have been born with many tunes of lamenting his own life, there would be more pettiness, and less concern for the world.
It's not easy to meet a good woman, and it's even harder to meet a good woman who will never leave you in life, Du Fu is unfortunate, but also lucky.
This is just my opinion, please forgive me.
Originality is not easy, please like and follow.
The great poet Du Fu's old residence in Chengdu. In history, Du Fu lived in Chengdu for four years from Chang'an to live in Chengdu. He wrote hundreds of verses here. After he left, it gradually faded and witnessed Du Fu's life.
I have visited the Caotang for the third time, and I have a new feeling every time. The kind of "Xiao see the red wet place, the flower is heavy and the official city." The expectation, the kind of "staying in the play of butterflies, dancing at all times, Jiao Jiao Cha Cha", the kind of "Ken and the neighbor Weng relative drink, the hedge to take the rest of the cup", the kind of "window contains Xiling Qianqiu Snow, the door is parked Dongwu Wanli boat" chest, All this has touched countless people over the years.
This afternoon, I heard the wonderful introduction of Du Fu's Cottage by Zheng Hao's tour guide. I was familiar with the poems and blurted out. I was like a few Zhen. Because the traffic jam was late, I finally made up for a missed introduction. Thank you very much.
Stepping into Chengdu's Du Fu Thatched Cottage evokes a profound sense of connection to the celebrated poet and his era. The tranquil gardens and rustic buildings offer a serene refuge from the bustling city, inviting reflection on Du Fu's life and works. Amidst the thatched roofs and ancient trees, one can almost hear the echoes of his timeless verses, resonating with themes of resilience, longing, and love for his homeland. Exploring the meticulously preserved halls and courtyards, visitors ar
I have been to Chengdu many times, but it is the first time I have visited Du Fu Caotang. It is rumored that I have not come to Du Fu Caotang, which is equivalent to never coming to Chengdu. I came to the south gate of the Caotang Museum at the agreed time and met with the big commentator. The interpreter has a wealth of knowledge, and even the works of poetry and scriptures are all coming soon, exporting to the family, attracting many young memories. Poetry Sheng Dufu is indeed a legend in the poetry world. There are many poems in his life, mainly realism, and some romantic works. Private explanation, interaction, full harvest, worth having.

During them, there are flowing water, small bridges, and bamboo trees are hidden. It is solemn, simple and elegant and quiet. Beautiful and clear. There is a "Shaoling Caotang" stele pavilion on the east side of the Ministry of Industry. After the Ministry of Industry, there is a "thatched house scenic spot" that has been restored and rebuilt according to Du's poem description and the Ming Dynasty pattern, which draws on the characteristics of the houses in western Sichuan, and reproduces the pastoral style of the poet's former residence, creating a strong poetic atmosphere; Du Fu's Caotang also has a red wall sandwich road, bamboo masked by broken porcelain inlaid, quaint and chic "caotang" shadow wall. In the bonsai garden, there is a "Du Shi calligraphy woodcut gallery" built in 1999, displaying more than 100 pieces of Du Shi calligraphy woodcut works, selected from the collection of thousands of famous handwritten books from the past, carved from teak wood, quite ornamental value, its poetry, calligraphy, materials, The craft is known as "four musts".
