The Jin Dynasty was very particular about family status, but Mr. Wuliu went against this trend, which implies that Mr. Wuliu was a hermit.

Mr. Wuliu not only kept his name anonymous, but also did not pay attention to the surname at all. In the words of Zhuangzi, "the name is the guest of reality", which is irrelevant. But maybe the reason why he likes the Wuliu tree is that there are no peaches and plums near Mr. Wuliu's house, and there are only a few willow trees.

Where do you get money from selling charcoal? The clothes on your body and the food in your mouth.

There are also Du Fu's "Three Officials" and "Three Farewells", namely: "Xin'an Officials", "Tongguan Officials", "Shihao Officials", "Newlywed Farewell", "Elderly Farewell" and "No Home Farewell". Abbreviation. These six poems were planned and arranged works written by Du Fu in March of the second year of Qianyuan (759). In March of that year, the Tang Dynasty's 600,000-strong army was defeated in Yecheng, and the country's situation was very critical. In order to quickly replenish their troops, the rulers implemented an unrestricted, unsystematic, and inhumane Rav policy. Du Fu witnessed these phenomena with his own eyes and wrote these six poems with conflicting and painful feelings. This war is different from the brutal militarism during the Tianbao period. It is an effort to save the nation and survive. Therefore, while Du Fu profoundly exposed the darkness of military service and cursed "Heaven and Earth will eventually be merciless", he had to support this kind of military service; he not only sympathized with the people's suffering, but also had to comfort and encourage those "middle men" who had not yet matured with tears. Get on the front lines. Under the unbearable cruel oppression, wives persuaded their husbands and mothers sent their children to the battlefield one after another. Some old women even gave their lives. While exposing the cruelty and cruelty of the ruling class, Du Fu praised the vast number of people with infinite sympathy and gratitude, and with vivid and vivid writing. "Three Officials" and "Three Farewells" have different expression techniques. The so-called "Three Officials" include question and answer narration, while the "Three Farewells" are purely entrusted to the travelers.
In "Three Officials", Du Fu himself appears because it includes questions and answers; in "Three Farewells", because the whole story is a monologue by the characters, Du Fu does not appear. From the perspective of literary origin, "Three Officials" and "Three Farewells" inherit the "Book of Songs" and Han Yuefu style, and start from the new Yuefu style of Bai Juyi and others. They are the pinnacle of Du Fu's realism creation. "Compassion for the Farmers"
