We will often list him and Li Bai as "Du Li" in later generations, but as far as life experience is concerned, the gap between Li Bai and Du Fu is worlds apart.
Li Bai was able to stay in Chang 'an for a long time, even with the emperor for a long time. The ranger sings, and it's very chic to get it. In Du Fu's life, the greatest official was the so-called "left gleaning". Compared with Li Bai, they are brilliant, but the situation is shocking.
People think that Du Fu was very lonely in his later years, really because the last few years of his life were too bleak.
From 758 BC to his death in 770 BC, Du Fu did not have a few days of stability in 12 years. The only time I was happy was when Yanwu took care of Chengdu, built three thatched cottages and had a place to live. But even so, an autumn wind blew his thatched cottage. It can be seen that the rare three thatched cottages are barely able to shelter from the wind and rain.
Du Fu's downfall in his later years was not only caused by the war and displacement caused by the Anshi Rebellion, but also caused by Du Fu's powerful warlord who paid attention to the sufferings of the people, ignored others and ignored human life. Even long after his death, Du Fu's popularity was not high. This deep-rooted relationship with you should be that his poems offended dignitaries.
After the Anshi Rebellion was put down, Du Fu, who was in tears of joy, went down the river from Sichuan, which is a portrayal of the famous sentence "Come back from this mountain, cross that mountain, come up from the south, and then come to my own town"! . However, when the boat arrived near Yueyang, Wuhan, it was even poorer, and the travelling expenses in Luoyang were gone.
As a result, we had to turn the bow south, and we encountered Tibetan rebellion in Changsha. Once drifted to Hengyang. Later, near Miluo, Yueyang, the aging Du Fu didn't even eat for five consecutive days. Or the local magistrate admired Du Fu's poem name and gave him a beef meal to save his life.
However, Du Fu was hungry for too long. This life-saving meal of the county magistrate became Du Fu's lifesaver. In 770, 59-year-old Du Fu died in a biography at the age of 59.
So when we look back at Du Fu's later years, it is basically 12, when he was wandering and helpless. Investigate its reason, the culprit is still frequent wars, and the unwillingness to flatter the dignitaries is also the driving force. The ancients said, "The misfortune of the country is the luck of the poet." The Anshi Rebellion made Du Fu's poetry history famous, but it also destroyed Du Fu's weak body.
