When Du Fu was happy, he took the male protagonist Li Guinian of "Jiangnan Meets Li Guinian" to attend the literary seminar of Qi Wang Li Fan (the younger brother of Tang Xuanzong);

Du Fu When he was unhappy, he swaggered into the house of Secretary Cui Di (the younger brother of Prime Minister Cui Shi) with two bottles of Maotai and drank heavily.

"It is common in King Qi's house, and Cui Jiutang heard it several times before."

When he was not working, Du Fu immediately wrote poems to Wei Ji, the deputy prime minister (Shang Shu Zuocheng), complaining to him about his full of bitterness.

Li Yong wanted to know people, and Wang Han wanted to know his neighbors. He claims to be very forward and immediately ascends to the important road.

...

Riding a donkey for thirteen years, traveling in Beijing and China. In the morning, I will buckle the door of rich people, and in the evening, I will follow the fat horse dust.

Deputy Prime Minister Wei, I don’t want to say that everyone sitting in the court is rubbish, but Li Yong, the governor of Beihai, took the initiative to ask to see me, and Wang Han, who wrote "Liangzhou Ci", was willing to be me. neighbor, I think I'm awesome.

However, I have been wandering on the doorstep of an official career for thirteen years and still have no official position. Are the relevant departments blind?

When he has a job, let him be the public security director (Hexi Wei) of the districts and counties around the capital. Logically speaking, you, Lao Du, should be content. That is the number one overall situation in the world, and the director must be highly qualified. Yes, as long as you don't do too badly at work, you will definitely be promoted and reused if you return to Chang'an with grassroots experience.

But Du Fu twisted his face: That’s it? I'm not going.

I don’t want to deal with people of different religions and sects. Besides, I have to solve crimes and arrest gangsters. This is all done by big bosses.

In the end, Du Fu applied for a change of position and became a right guard and led the government to join the army (in charge of the weapons and supplies in the warehouse). He went there every day while holding a thermos cup and scrolling through Douyin.

If you don’t become a captain in Hexi, you will be desolate.

I am afraid that people will go away, so I lead my family and live happily.

In the luxurious circle of friends, there are praises from the prince, and he chooses his own work willfully;

He does not care if he fails in the imperial examination, and continues his unfinished wandering;

Even when he was most down and out and penniless, the person he drank with was the world's great talent Zheng Qian (a doctor of Guangwen Museum, for whom Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty personally inscribed "Zheng Qian's Three Wonders").

Even when he was in exile in Shuxiang, he was helped by Gao Shi, Yan Wu, Bai Maolin and others, the feudal officials.

Do you still think that the frowning and slovenly Du Fu in the portrait posted online was born with mud legs?

Do you really think that Du Fu was always in poverty in his middle and later years?

To paraphrase an elder’s famous saying: to young to simple.

When it comes to family background and the reputation of ancestors, no one in the huge team of 2,600 poets in the entire Tang Dynasty dared to challenge Du Fu. Du Fu was the only prince who was unattainable to most people. Uncles and uncles.

Let’s talk about Du Fu’s father’s generation first.

Du Fu’s distant ancestor (the thirteenth generation ancestor) was Dangyang Hou Du Yu, the commander-in-chief of the navy, army and air force in the Western Jin Dynasty.

Not only did he have outstanding merits and made an indelible contribution to the great cause of national unification, but he was also an epoch-making master in academics. He was fascinated by the study of "Spring and Autumn" and compiled a must-have for future generations of candidates. I read "The Anthology of Zuo's Biography in the Spring and Autumn Period".

Du Fu often used Du Yu's deeds to motivate himself. The source of his obsession with "following Confucianism and guarding officials" came from Du Yu.

After Du Yu, there were several governors and prefects in the family, all of whom were princes.

In the Tang Dynasty, there was a folk saying: Weidu in the south of the city, the sky is five feet away.

Internet language "You are so awesome, why don't you go to heaven?" The Wei and Du families are only five feet away from the emperor. They are really about to go to heaven. According to incomplete statistics, the entire Tang Dynasty had eighteen prime ministers from the Wei family and eight from the Du family.

When it comes to who is the most famous among the Du clan in Jingzhao, Du Fu's grandfather Du Shenyan is the first to be mentioned. This is a more fierce person than Zhang Fei.

He is the founder of our Chinese Five Laws. He serves as the director of the Central Bureau of Affairs (a member of the Food Department). In his spare time, he formed a group with Su Weiwei (the ancestor of Su Shi), Cui Rong and Li Qiao in the literary world. The team is called "Four Friends of Articles".

Generally, smaller cows will turn around and run away when they see Du Shenyan, because he is so good at bragging.

Du Shenyan deeply analyzed his own strength in public. In terms of poetry and literary attainments, Qu Yuan and Song Yu were only qualified to be his secretary; in terms of calligraphy skills, the calligraphy sage Wang Xizhi was also qualified to be his book boy. Hand the pen to sharpen the ink.

Until his death, Du Shenyan was still worried about his career, fearing that no one would succeed him. He called together Song Zhiwen and other leading figures in the literary world and said: "You were in my way while I was alive." I can't stand out because of my strength. Now I'm going to the west soon. You should work hard and don't have any psychological shadow.

Du Fu inherited from his ancestor Du Yu the ideal pattern of "promoting the emperors Yao and Shun, and then making the customs pure" and benefiting the world. He also inherited the "crazy and boundless" from his grandfather Du Shenyan across generations. powerful genes.

Du Fu once beat his chest with his fist and said, "Poetry is my family's business." Poetry writing is our old Du family's business. You other poets have to stand aside;

"I The poems written by my grandfather have always been number one. They are very similar to what Xie Lingyun said when he praised Cao Zhi: "Cao Zijian only got eight buckets, I got one bucket, and everyone has divided one bucket from ancient times to the present." .

Du Fu's father is Du Xian. He once served as a county magistrate in Qianxian County, Shaanxi Province, and a Sima in Yanzhou, Shandong Province. Du Fu's ten years of wandering were all red envelopes given by his father, and he played for ten years. Comrades, please figure it out for yourself;

Du Fu’s uncle was Du Bing. When he was sixteen years old, in order to stand up for Du Shenyan, he dared to kill Du Shen directly with a machete. Yan's enemy chopped him to death and was seriously injured. Unfortunately, he was also beaten to death in court. The person who wrote the epitaph for Du Bing was Su Ting, a high-ranking official and great writer of the time.

Du Fu’s father-in-law was Yang Yi, a minister of agriculture, who was roughly equivalent to today’s deputy minister or party member of the Ministry of Agriculture.

It seems that the men of the Du family are also cruel and talkative.

Let’s take a look at Du Fu’s mother.

Du Fu’s mother, the Cui family, belonged to an authentic aristocratic family of “Five Surnames and Seven Hopes”. From the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties to the Tang Dynasty, she was an aircraft carrier among the wealthy families, almost monopolizing political and cultural resources. Even Prime Minister Xue Yuanchao regretted for the rest of his life because he did not marry a "girl with the fifth surname".

Du Fu’s uncles are scattered all over the country, and most of them are doing well in the officialdom. They have given guidance and help to the best of their ability during several critical periods in Du Fu’s life. Du Fu wrote a poem to praise his uncles: "The virtuous will return to the prosperous clan, and my uncle will be well-known."

The mother of Du Fu’s grandfather (let’s do it together) was the daughter of King Shu Li Yuanming, the eighteenth son of Emperor Gaozu of the Tang Dynasty Li Yuan (King Shu Li Yuanming was Li Shimin’s younger brother), that is to say, the mother of Du Fu’s grandfather She is the granddaughter of Emperor Gaozu of the Tang Dynasty, so Du Fu's grandfather is the great-grandson of Emperor Gaozu of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan.

Du Fu’s grandma is the granddaughter of Li Shen, the tenth son of Emperor Taizong Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty. Her father is Li Cong, King of Yiyang (Li Cong is Li Shen’s eldest son), so Du Fu’s grandmother is the great-granddaughter of Emperor Taizong Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty. .

Du Fu’s grandma is a tough guy.

Her grandfather Li Shen and father Li Cong were implicated and imprisoned because of Yue Wang Li Zhen's rebellion against Wu Zetian.

Du Fu’s grandmother wore civilian clothes every day, and went to and from the prison on time to deliver clothes and food to her relatives. Many people advised her to run away early to avoid Wu Zetian’s menopause and her Catch it.

But she still went her own way. Even though her face was haggard, she could not hide the royal nobility in her body. Many people were deeply moved and praised her as "the most filial and diligent person in the world."

The relationship between Du Fu’s family members was clarified, and his identity as a royal clan member gradually became clear.

Li Tang’s royal family, aristocratic family, queen of a famous family, scholarly family, this is the family composition of the poet saint Du Fu.

Du Fu is a real son-in-law, a second-generation official. He likes to call himself "Du Lingye Lao" because "Du Ling" represents the family's unparalleled glory.

The reputation of ancestors is a huge intangible asset. It not only brings abundant material life to the descendants, but also allows the descendants to get in touch with the people and things around them from a higher dimension.

Under the protection of his family since he was a child, Du Fu has experienced the colorful world with his heart and measured the rivers, mountains and vegetation of the Tang Dynasty with his feet.

He watched Aunt Gongsun’s sword dance with his father in Yancheng, which later led to his famous work "Watching Aunt Gongsun’s Disciples Dance with Swords". When he visited Qilu for the second time, he boarded the Only after reaching Mount Tai did the masterpiece "Looking at the Mountain" come into being...

Children from aristocratic families will pay more attention to spiritual and cultural attributes, and will not work hard for six pence. This pattern is what we wait for Ordinary people naturally do not have it. Even though Du Fu's life was depressed and miserable in his later period, his aristocratic temperament remained elegant.
