Du Fu-The Greatest Poet of Tang Dynasty in Ancient China
Du Fu (712-770), a great realist poet of the Tang Dynasty, was called "Li Du" together with Li Bai, another famous poet of the Tang Dynasty. He was born in Gongxian, Henan Province, and was originally from Xiangyang, Hubei Province. In his childhood, Du Fu had traveled to the Wuyue Kingdom, the state of Qi and Zhao. After the age of 35, he took the imperial examination in Chang'an (now Xi'an). Later, because the officialdom was not smooth, he witnessed the luxury and social crisis of the upper class of the Tang Dynasty.
In 755 A.D., An Shi rebellion broke out, and Du Fu moved to many places successively. In order to avoid the war, he fled to Sichuan in 759 A.D. although he avoided the war and lived a relatively stable life, he still cared about human life and national affairs. Du Fu's influence on Chinese classical poetry is very far-reaching. He is called "the sage of poetry" by later generations, and his poetry is called "poetry history".
Layout
Chengdu Dufu thatched cottage has been renovated and expanded in song, yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties. It has evolved into a famous cultural Holy Land integrating the pattern of memorial hall and the style of poet's former residence, with simple and elegant buildings and beautiful gardens.
The thatched cottage, with a total area of nearly 300 mu, retains the pattern of reconstruction in the Qing Dynasty. Garden is a very unique "hybrid" Chinese classical garden. At present, Dufu thatched cottage can be divided into three parts according to their functions: Tourist area of cultural relics (Former site of Thatched Cottage), Sightseeing area of garden scenic spot (Plum Garden) and Service Area (Thatched Cottage Temple). It is simple, elegant and quiet.
