Du Fu has two official titles: Du Shizhi and Du Gongbu.
In 757 AD, Du Fu was awarded the title of Zuo Shizhi and an official by Tang Suzong, which is equivalent to today's "researcher".
Seven years later, in 764, his friend Yan Wu recommended Du Fu as a member of the inspection department and became Yan Wu's staff officer.
Du Fu was an official, he could be described as cautious and loyal, and he could know a little bit from his duty in Menxia Province at night.
At dusk, night falls, the shadows of the flowers in the palace walls are dim, and the birds that return to the nest are flying and chirping. The stars shine, thousands of doors flicker, the bright moon rises in the east, and the high-rise buildings soar into the sky.
Du Fu couldn't sleep at night, and listened quietly to the sound of the golden key when the emperor received the ministers and opened the palace door. The wind blows the bells on the horse's head, like a jade ke ringing during worship.
Tomorrow morning he was to present the king with a recital on political affairs, and he asked the hour repeatedly for fear of missing the court.
The official has done this, which shows that Du Fu's fists are diligent and the heart of the country.
In the spring of 757, Du Fu fled from the fallen Chang'an to Fengxiang through Jinguangmen to meet Suzong. It was in Fengxiang that Du Fu made a left pick-up.
In June of the following year, Du Fu was demoted from Zuo Shizhi to Huazhou Sigong to join the army because of his outspokenness to save Fang Xuan's dismissal, and passed through Jinguangmen.
Du Fu reminisced about the past and had mixed feelings.
He once fled to Fengxiang from this road, when the Hu soldiers in the western suburbs were rampant. To this day, I am still terrified when I think about it, and I don't know how many people died and were not buried. Ren Zuo returned to Chang'an with the king, and was it really out of the king's original intention to demote Huazhou?
Du Fu lamented that he, a talentless person, was getting old day by day, and he couldn't help but look back at the palace gate.
From then on, the poet never had the opportunity to return to Chang'an.
Love is also Chang'an, and hate is also Chang'an!
Yan Wu, the noble man in Du Fu's life.
Yan Wu was appointed as the Yin of Chengdu, and when Jiannan was the envoy of the Jiannan Festival, he had a close relationship with Du Fu and had a deep friendship. Yan Wu took care of Du Fu's life and work in many aspects.
In 762, Yan Wu was summoned to return to Beijing, and Du Fu couldn't bear to part, so he wrote poems many times to send him off.
Last night, I was still drinking under the moon, and today I don't know when I can get together again, and I can drink freely.
Yan Wu served in the three dynasties of Xuanzong, Suzong, and Daizong, and what a glorious life he had! The people of the eastern and western Sichuan prefectures and counties to which Jiannan belonged never forgot Yan Wu's political achievements, and they were all eulogizing him, keeping him, and not wanting him to leave.
Bidding farewell to Yan Wu, Du Fu looked at the green mountains, thinking that after Yan Wu left, he would return to Jiangcun alone, and he would spend the rest of his life lonely, and he couldn't help but feel melancholy and multiply his feelings.
Sima Qian of the Han Dynasty angered Emperor Wu for Li Ling, was arrested and imprisoned, and suffered palace punishment.
Tang Youdu Fu rescued Fang Xuan, offended Su Zong, was tortured and killed several times, and was later demoted.
Du Fu became acquainted with Fang Xuan when he was young, and Fang Xuan once recommended Du Fu to join the company.
Fang Xuan, who worshiped the prime minister when he was in Xuanzong, was defeated by Chen Taoxian and was demoted due to improper use of troops in Suzong, and died in Langzhou in 763.
Resume service in other places, and stay in Madont's lonely grave.
In 765, Du Fu, who was wandering in a foreign country, passed through Langzhou and hung the tomb of his deceased friend Fang Xuan.
Du Fu burst into tears, wetting the tomb soil around him, and his mood was as solemn as clouds floating in the dark sky.
He remembered that he had played chess with Fang Xuan, who was as calm as Xie An, a famous general in the Jin Dynasty; He wanted to learn from the Spring and Autumn Period, keep his promise, hang the sword on the tomb of his friend Xu Jun, and comfort Fang Xuan's soul.
In the mountains and forests, falling flowers are flying, and above the sky, the sound of warblers is crying.
Du Fu said goodbye.
Han Note, a counselor, his experience is the same as Du Fu, he once contributed to the Tang Dynasty, but was later excluded, and lived in seclusion in Hengshan after the Anshi Rebellion.
Du Fu was convicted of rescuing Fang Xuan, drifted to the southwest, and settled in Kuizhou. One day in 767, Du Fu, who was sick and bedridden, was depressed in his heart, thinking of Han Zhu who was far away in Yueyang Dongting, and wrote "Sending Han Advice Notes".
Han Zhu, who is across the river, has a beautiful character, stepping on the water of Dongting and looking in all directions. The clouds are cloudy, the sky is flying, the sun and the moon are boundless; The autumn wind is bleak and the red leaves fall, and the sky is frosty.
The immortals of Yujing Mountain gathered in Beidou, some rode unicorns and some rode phoenixes, hibiscus-like flags rose and fell in the smoke, Xiaoxiang rippled, and the reflection swayed with the waves.
The star gods drank the elixir jade liquid one by one, only the flying immortal was still far away, I heard that he was like the former immortal Chi Songzi, I am afraid it is more like Zhang Liang of the Han Dynasty who retired after success.
Back then, Zhang Liang followed Liu Bang to pacify Chang'an, and it was sad to be loyal and abandoned. The heart of strategizing has not changed, and the spirit is tragic. How can we forget the success or failure of the country's cause, and if we don't want to go along with it, we can only live in seclusion in the mountain villages.
Taishi Gong's stay in Zhou Nangu was regretted, and Du Fu silently wished Han Zhu a long life like the Antarctic birthday star.
Du Fu asked: Why is a person of high character far away from the rivers and lakes, and how can he be placed on the Weiyang Palace?
Du Fu, who was on the sickbed, felt sorry for Han Zhu, appealed for Han Zhu, and wanted to fall out of the sky, hazy, and vaguely invisible.
When Du Fu first arrived in Chengdu, he built a Huanhua Cottage, with a south and north houses, a sea of spring water, and flocks of gulls and birds flying around every day. No one has passed, no one has bothered, Du Fu's life is said to be pure, but in fact he is cold.
Soon, a county magistrate surnamed Cui came to visit, and Du Fu's miserable days of living in the guest house added joy. He was extremely happy, and personally cleaned the path between the flowers, opened the firewood door of the grass house, and welcomed the guests.
Because the cottage is too far away from the city, there are not many kinds of food, and the family is poor, only old wine treats each other, Du Fu is a little reluctant to go.
But they drank with affection and drank to their heart's content.
When he was happy, Du Fu actually invited Tian Weng next door to accompany the county order and raise a glass to drink together across the fence.
Towards the end of the party, Du Fu shouted: Come, drink the rest of the wine in the cup, and today's drink will end here.
