Although Du Fu bowed to the prosperous Tang Dynasty, his fate was not as good as that of Li Bai. He had many hardships and embarrassment in his life, and the only good time in his memory was Happy Nine Years (Zhuang You). This refers to the five years of Tianbao (746) when he roamed Shandong twice before entering Beijing as an official. He wandered for the first time, climbed Mount Tai, and wrote the famous poem "Looking at Yue", which has become a famous piece that has been passed down through the ages. The second time, I traveled north and south of Mount Tai with Li Bai and Gao Shi, leaving a much-told story in the literary world. This pleasant trip has added a colorful chapter to Mount Tai.
In the 24th year of Kaiyuan (736), Du Fu failed in the Jinshi examination in Luoyang, the eastern capital, and started his first trip to Qi and Zhao. At this time, Du Xian was Sima of Yanzhou (736~740), which made Du Fu leisurely and carefree. At that time, Mount Tai was under the jurisdiction of Yanzhou, and Du Fu was impressed by the rich cultural relics and majestic momentum of Mount Tai when he first arrived in Qilu. Here he met the poet Su Yuanming. Su Yuanming (? ~764), formerly known as Su Yu, was born in Jingzhao Wugong (now Wugong County, Shaanxi Province). Because he lost his father in his early years, he lived in Xuzhou and Yanzhou, and once lived in seclusion in Taishan to study. Its location should be near Baiyun Cave in Daiding Tianjie. They hit it off with each other. They swam together. "Love in Zhao, autumn horse is quite frivolous", which shows the spirit of young Du Fu's high spirits, high spirits and enterprising spirit. In about the 29th year of Kaiyuan (740), Du Fu came to Mount Tai and wrote the famous poem "Looking at Yue".
What a magnificent scenery Mount Tai is! Endless green spans Qilu and Qilu. ..
The magical nature brings together thousands of beautiful mountains in the south and the separation between morning and dusk in the north.
Caiyun lave? My mind is free and easy, and birds fly around in front of my nervous eyes ..
Try to climb to the top of the mountain: it dwarfs all the peaks under our feet.
The word "hui" in the poem "Looking at Yue" has aroused people's ambiguity. Some people think that Du Fu did not climb Mount Tai, while others think that he must have climbed Mount Tai. Du Fu wrote in the third year of Dali (768) in the first half of Going Up to the Foot of the Backyard Mountain, which revealed the mystery:
I traveled to Shandong yesterday and recalled Yueyang in the East.
Looking at the sun in the poor autumn, looking at the eight shortages.
……
There is no doubt that Du Fu climbed Mount Tai.
Du Fu's second trip to Qilu was from the fourth year of Tianbao (745) to the fifth year of Tianbao. North and south of Mount Tai, on the banks of Wenhe River, literary giants such as Du Fu, Li Bai and Gao Shi gathered together to sing a song, which became a once-in-a-lifetime event in the history of literature. Mr. Wen Yiduo, a modern poet and scholar, exclaimed that this is "the sun and the moon meet in the blue sky" and wanted to "draw corners on the tee, send out the tee to bang drums, and then dip a pen in gold ink. A big book can be a special book." This great event and the famous articles they left behind are enough to make Taidai shine at the moment and add color to Qilu.
Du Fu and Li Bai met in April of the third year of Tianbao (744). The same fate and ambition, coupled with mutual admiration, made them fall in love at first sight and became bosom friends. In summer and autumn, they met the poet Gao Shi again. The three of them walked with Liang and Song, and boarded the piano platform of Songzhou's single father (now Shanxian County, Shandong Province) at that time. They are generous and nostalgic, talking about poetry and prose.
In the summer of Tianbao four years, Du Fu and Li Bai came to Jinan. When Li Yong named his nephew Li Zhifang Sima, he invited Li Yong, the prefect of Beihai, to meet all the people. At that time, Li Yong was famous for his articles, calligraphy and seal cutting, and was known as the "Three Musts of Beihai". They held a banquet in the ancient Lixia Pavilion surrounded by blue waves, drank and talked about the past and present, and sang loudly. Du Fu wrote a famous banquet with Li Beihai in Xiating. Li Bai wrote Li Shangyong. Li Yong also wrote the poem "Deng Lixia, a member of the ancient city, Sun Xinting".
After the event, Du Fu went north to Linyi (now Linyi County, Texas) to visit his younger brother Du Ying, who was then the county magistrate. Li Bonan returned to Rencheng's home, and Li Yong traveled to Dongping in the west accompanied by Gao Shi.
This autumn, Du Fu came to Rencheng to visit Li Bai. They went to Helan Hotel with their good friends, climbed high and looked far, drinking and writing poems. Du Fu looked north at Mount Tai for a shower, and wrote a poem "Inviting Xu to write a rain book":
Dongyue Yunfeng rises to understand space.
Thunder turned over the screen and rain fell into the river.
Take the sage's wine and listen to the elder's car.
Invited to be ashamed of the mud, he rode on the steps.
After that, Du Fu and Li Bai visited Dongmeng Mountain together, looking for Taoist priests Dong and Yuan Danqiu, and visited hermits in the north of Lujun County. Soon, Du Fu will go west to Xianyang, and Li Bai also wants to revisit wuyue. The two are about to break up, that is, they will have a farewell banquet at Yaocige in the east of Yanzhou. Two years of friendship, the two are like brothers, and they are affectionate when they leave. Li Bai wrote the Banquet at the Yao Temple Pavilion in Qiulu. A few days later, the second banquet was held at the Shimen of Zhusu River near Yaoci. The two raised their glasses to persuade each other and recited poems to answer. Li Bai wrote two poems, "Send Du Fu to the East Shimen in Lu County" and "Give Du Fu a play". After Shimen said goodbye, the two never met again, but they never forgot. Five years later, in the tenth year of Tianbao (75 1), Li Bai roamed Pingyin Dune City and wrote Du Fu in Dune City, telling his feelings that "if you are gentle and I miss you, I will send you to the south". A few years after Shimen left, Du Fu missed and sent Li Bai as many as twelve poems. The sincere and profound friendship between them, as well as the poetic art of "passing through", wrote a touching page in the poetry circle of the Tang Dynasty and left unforgettable memories for people.
"Du Li's articles are always shining" (Han Yu's Tune Zhang Ji). Du Fu and his poetry friends' tour of Mount Tai left magnificent poems and added a brilliant page to Mount Tai. The poem "Looking at Yue" written by Du Fu, a great teacher, has given people encouragement and strength for thousands of years with a positive and enterprising spirit, inspiring people to climb high and look far, broaden their minds and reach a higher spiritual realm.
