Speaking of Du Mu , which poem do you think of is his?
is "At the bright moonlit night of the twenty-four bridges, where can the jade man teaches to play the flute?"
is "Add to "Add to be more than thirteen years old, and the beginning of February of the year."
is "A dream of Yangzhou for ten years, and won the reputation of being a blessed brothel."
From the appearance of these poems, Du Mu is a typical romantic figure, often lingering in the fireworks, accompanied by poetry and wine all day long and beauties, which can be called Tang Dynasty "Wu Yifan".
But is Du Mu really so unbearable?
(I)
Du Mu was born in a prominent family in the capital and was the grandson of the prime minister Du You of the dynasty.
The tower is close to the water and get the moon first. Under the guidance and training of his grandfather Du You, Xiao Du has been outstanding in literary talent since childhood. He is not only good at calligraphy and painting, but also familiar with literary and historical classics and various military books. According to this development direction, Xiao Du will definitely become a great person in the future.
But God will not give too much to anyone. When Du Mu was 10 years old, his grandfather and father passed away one after another, leaving only his mother and Du Mu brothers to rely on each other.
The parents accumulated over the years, leaving Du Mu a lot of money. It should be enough for them to have enough food and clothing for a while. But Xiao Du was born with a golden spoon in his mouth since he was a child. He never lived a hard life. It was difficult to get from extravagant to frugality, so that little property was quickly ruined.
After Du Mu's family was completely in trouble, they suffered a lot of pain and sin. He had more understanding and thinking about the current situation of the country and society.
In 824 AD, 16-year-old Tang Jingzong ascended the throne of the emperor. He was still in the rebellious period of teenagers. He liked to play and fight night foxes everywhere, and did not want to make progress, and even ignored the government.
In addition, Emperor Jingzong of Tang was also very good at enjoying it and built a large-scale construction of palaces.
After hearing about this, Du Mu was both indignant and heartbroken. He wrote an article, summarizing the historical reasons for the demise of the Qin Dynasty, and hoped that the rulers of the dynasty could learn from historical lessons, work hard to govern, enrich the people and strengthen the army.
" Afang Palace Fu " is exquisitely conceived, gorgeous writing, and unique insights. Chang'an City Instantly, Luoyang paper is expensive, and the streets and alleys are talking about "Du Mu, this kid, can write such an article in his early 20s, and he will definitely be a pillar of the court in the future!"
(II)
Du Mu saw that he was talking about his young talent in the streets and alleys, and he couldn't help but feel happy. "It seems that I am an official, I have to take the imperial examination ."
In 828 AD, the information about Du Mu taking the imperial examination spread throughout the capital. Many important officials of the court who had read "Afang Palace Fu" rushed to write recommendation letters to Xiao Du, all wanting to take Xiao Du into his own leadership.
PhD in Imperial College Wu Wuling As a die-hard fan of Du Mu, he even lowered his face to communicate with the examiner at that time and asked Xiao Du for a recommended place.
But Du Mu is not a brag of real talent and knowledge. In the same year's virtuous, upright and upright examination, he passed the examination with high scores and earned the national meal without any effort.
Employment has been settled, and Xiao Du hurriedly told his family good news:
"Send to the old friends in Chang'an after the first time"
Dongdu The results have not yet bloomed, and thirty-three people have returned.
Many young men in Qin have brewed wine and have brought the spring scenery into the pass.
I have to say that I have achieved this at a young age, and I do have the capital to show off, and Xiao Du is no exception, and I am a little arrogant.
Once, Du Mu went for a walk to Lanruo Temple in Zhongnanshan for a few friends and met a monk. Seeing that he was gentle and had a good conversation, the monk asked him what his name was.
The gay friend who traveled with him replied: "You don't even know him. He is Du Mu, who is famous in Chang'an City!"
It seems that the temple may not have access to the Internet. The question marks on the monk's face made Du Mu feel uncomfortable.
But he thought again: People in Buddhism are dedicated to Buddhism and no longer care about secularism and government affairs, so how could they pay attention to social news? Thinking of this, Xiao Du wrote a poem to the monk:
"Give to the monk Lan Ruo of Zhongnan"
Beique Nanshan is the hometown, and the two branches of fairy osmanthus are fragrant for a while.
Xiu Gong didn't know his name, so he realized that the Zen scent was very strong.
(III)
After being admitted to the civil service, Du Muguan became the Hongwenguan proofreader.
In 833 AD, Du Mu was awarded the position of Promoter by Niu Sengru, the governor of Huainan, and later became the chief secretary, responsible for the official document exchanges of the governor's office. His focus began to shift to the Jiangnan region.
As we all know, Yangzhou is located in the south of the Yangtze River, with frequent merchants and economic prosperity also drives the development of culture. Yangzhou's nightlife is very rich, and Du Mu, who is free of sex, soon fell into the gentle night dream of Yangzhou.
How good is Niu Sengru to Du Mu? The work arranged for him was the simplest and easy, so Du Mu had plenty of time to linger in the fireworks place. In addition, Niu Sengru also arranged for bodyguards to secretly protect Du Mu who was playing in brothels.
3 years passed like this. Du Mu's term ended and he was transferred back to Chang'an to serve as the supervisory censor. He was very reluctant to part with the girls in Yangzhou and wrote a farewell poem to the two girls:
"Two Farewell Poems·One"
Gentle and graceful for more than thirteen years, with the beginning of February at the top of the cardamom.
Spring breeze ten miles of Yangzhou Road, it is not as good as rolling the pearl curtain.
"Two Farewell Songs·The Second"
affectionate but always ruthless, but I only feel that I can't laugh in front of the cup.
Candles say goodbye to others if you have the heart, and shed tears for others until dawn.
html After more than 0 years, Du Mu sighed with emotion: When he was young, he didn't know how to cherish it. He was addicted to the sensuality and sex all day long. Now when he thinks about those days, he is like a dream that cannot be looked back:" Waiting for Love "
The desolate and outdated rivers and lakes carry wine, and the slender waist is light in his palm.
Ten years of dreams of Yangzhou, winning the reputation of being a brothel.
(IV)
After Du Mu left Wenrou Township, Yangzhou, he was preparing to return to the political journey and do a big move. But what I didn't expect was a storm waiting for him.
During the reign of Emperor Wenzong of Tang Dynasty, the treacherous minister Zheng Jinghe was very good at flattering the emperor. Many people said that Zheng Jing he was likely to be the prime minister. Du Mu's good friend Li Gan said angrily: "If Zheng Jinghe's edict came down to become the prime minister, I would tore the edict."
This was passed to Zheng Jinghe's ears, and Zheng Jinghe complained in front of the emperor. Li Gan was later demoted from the capital and died in a foreign land soon after.
Du Mu felt sad for his friend's unjust death, but he was powerless, so he applied to be transferred to Luoyang for office.
Not long after, the " Nilu Change " occurred in the capital. Many important ministers of the court were beheaded, and Du Mu escaped because of his transfer from Chang'an.
But Xiao Du was still scared of this incident. The capital was too sinister, so I would rather stay in Luoyang.
(V)
In 837 AD, Du Kai, who was far away in Yangzhou, wrote a letter to his brother Du Mu, telling him that his eye disease was getting worse and worse.
After many years, Xiao Du came to Yangzhou again, but he had no interest in having fun and took his younger brother to live in the suburbs of Chanzhi Temple . Here, he saw the remote and quiet side of Yangzhou:
" title Yangzhou Chanzhi Temple "
A cicada roared over the rain, and the rosy pines and osmanthus autumn floated.
The moss is covered with the steps, and the white birds are staying late.
The dusk mist grows deep trees, and the setting sun is under the small building.
Who knows that Zhuxi Road is Yangzhou.
However, due to the long leave time, according to the "Tang System", he automatically resigned. Xiao Du suddenly became an unemployed vagrant and had no money to treat his younger brother.
Who would have thought that Xiao Du, who was once glorious and surrounded by beautiful women, would have to be shameless and begged for others everywhere?
Fortunately, I knew a lot of people, so Du Mu quickly found a job and went to Xuanhui to observe Cui Dan to serve as the troupe training judge. During Xuanzhou , he sometimes misses his relatives in his hometown:
"Nanling Road/Sent from Away"
The water surface of Nanling is floating, the wind is tight and the clouds are light and it is about to turn into autumn.
is the lonely place in the guest heart. Who has the red sleeves and the river building?
(Sixth)
After working in Xuanzhou for three years, Du Mu was recalled to Chang'an by the court. When leaving Xuanzhou, Du Mu wrote a poem full of contradictions:
" from Xuancheng to go to Beijing to the capital "
The world is full of autumn, and the wine glass stays late every day.
The stream by Xie Gong City is shocked by the dream, and the willows brush their heads in front of Su Xiao’s gate.
Where is the best place for thousands of miles of clouds? How many people have a happy mood for a lifetime.
, but I know nothing, and I finally want to waste my time visiting the old travel.
In 842 AD, Du Mu was implicated by Niu Sengru (the guy who once sent bodyguards to brothels to protect Du Mu) and was sent to Huangzhou to help the poor.
During his tenure in Huangzhou, Xiao Du was also conscientious. Not only did he go to the countryside to inspect, but he also actively solved tax, clothing, housing and transportation issues for the local people.
In my spare time, Xiao Du will also go out to relax and find inspiration for writing poetry:
"Lanxi"
The orchid stream is green in spring, and the orchids are fragrant in the rain.
Chu State The doctor was haggard, so he should look for this road to Xiaoxiang.
It seems that Xiao Du is also an ambitious person, and he laments that he is not satisfied with his talent and has no way to serve the country.
In the following years, Du Mu was demoted to small places such as , Chizhou , Muzhou and other places to help poverty.
When he was helping with poverty in Chizhou, he also went to Xinghua Village to drink:
"Qingming"
During the Qingming Festival, the pedestrians on the road were about to break their souls.
I would like to ask where is the restaurant? The shepherd boy pointed to Xinghua Village in the distance.
(VII)
In 848 AD, Du Mu finally returned to Chang'an, which he had been away from for a long time. But Xiao Du, who has experienced vicissitudes of life, has passed his forties and no longer has the ambitions of his youth. He just wants to live a peaceful life.
But unfortunately, the salary in Beijing was getting lower and lower, and Du Mu's family even had a problem with eating. He heard that the salary in Jiangsu and Zhejiang was much higher than that in Beijing, so he applied for transfer to another place.
Not long after, Du Mu got his wish and got his way to , Huzhou, Zhejiang, and became mayor. Before leaving, he went for a walk near the tomb of Emperor Taizong of Tang on the outskirts of the city. He felt emotion:
"To go to Wuxing to visit the original one"
It is incompetent to have fun in the time of Qing Dynasty, and love the lonely clouds and quiet monks.
Want to take a command of the river and sea, enjoy the fun of watching Zhaoling on the earth.
Back to the familiar Jiangnan, Du Mu was like a fish in water. Although he had no energy from his youth, the comfort level of life was no worse than when he was in Yangzhou.
But after not enjoying it for long, Du Mu was recalled to Chang'an again.
Although he was reluctant, Xiao Du still went back. However, he had been in the officialdom for so long and had already seen through the corruption and dangers of the officialdom and had a strong desire to retire. So, Xiao Du spent his life savings to repair the Fanchuan villa in the suburbs, which was his childhood home. Since then, Du Mu often came here to enjoy life in his spare time.
" Mountain Travel "
The rock path along the cold mountain is slanted, and there are people in the place where the white clouds grow.
Parking and sitting in the maple forest at night, frost leaves are redder than February flowers.
" Chang'an Qiuwang "
floor leaning against the frost tree, there is no trace of the mirror in the sky.
Nanshan and autumn scenery are both high in momentum.
In the winter of 852 AD, Du Mu died of illness at the age of 50.
Conclusion
Some scholars evaluate Du Mu's poems: beautiful and elegant, fresh and elegant.
Du Mu came from a famous family. He was born with a romantic and full of temperament. He once had a short life of love, poetry, wine and romantic life. Although he is romantic, he is not greasy and always sympathizes more with women than with despises. Therefore, it is a misunderstanding and blasphemy of "Tang Dynasty Wu Yifan". His romantic behavior may not be considered a gentleman, but he is definitely not a villain who plays with women casually.
Du Mu was also full of confidence and wanted to realize his political ideals in the court, but found that the darkness and corruption in the officialdom could not be changed by his own efforts.
Du Mu's temperament changed from being full of confidence when he was young to being passively compromised. He chose to retire in a corner, which was also to maintain his integrity and personality. This may be Du Mu's last stubbornness!
