|| The story behind 'River Village'. Today I want to talk about a rather light-hearted poem 'River Village': A clear river embraces the village, the long summer village is quiet; The swallows come and go on their own, the gulls in the water are close to each other. The old wife draws a chessboard on paper, the young son makes a fishing hook with a needle; But there are old friends who provide for food, what more can I ask for with this small body? That year, with the help of friends like Yin Pei and Gao Shi, the governor of Shu State, Du Fu and his family finally settled down in the Thatched Cottage by the Huanhua Creek. He finally had a moment of leisure and tranquility, and could enjoy a little bit of peaceful days. He watched the clear river flowing by the village, the swallows fluttering in front of the hall, the gulls playing freely in the water, and looked at his wife and children, each with their own joy, a sense of happiness welled up. In the turbulent times of the Anshi Rebellion, having a place to live, having a wife and children to accompany, having food to eat, leisure and tranquility, what else to worry about? So 'River Village' can be said to be the best situation for the people of Guanzhong to take refuge in Shu, Du Fu should just be one of them, just a little better. Du Fu's position in the history of poetry is well known, being hailed as the Poet Saint, naturally in this field, has reached the highest realm. He left more than 1450 poems in his life, Yuan Zhen commented: 'He surpasses the elegance of the past, embodies the depth of Shen and Song, his words surpass Su and Li, his spirit surpasses Cao and Liu, he hides his face in the lofty solitude of Xie, and mixes the flowery beauty of Xu and Yu, he has all the styles of the past and present, and also has what everyone specializes in. But Du Fu was able to leave so many high-quality poems, in fact, he also needs to thank a person, and this person is Du Fu's wife. Du Fu had only one person to accompany him in his life, at the age of 29, he married the daughter of Yang Yi, the junior minister of agriculture at the time. We all know that before the Anshi Rebellion, Du Fu was stranded in Chang'an for ten years seeking an official position but not getting one, because the cost of living was too high, he had to place his wife and children in Fengxian County. He finally got a position as a junior military officer in the Right Guard Rate's office, but the next month the Anshi Rebellion broke out. After that, Du Fu's life was even more difficult. He wanted to follow Emperor Suzong, but like Wang Wei, he became a scapegoat and was captured by the rebels, and for a time all news was cut off, it is imaginable how difficult it was for his wife, who was struggling to survive with their children. Despite such difficulties, Du Fu's wife, Mrs. Yang, was still able to handle it well. Fortunately, Du Fu escaped, they moved around Qinzhou, Tonggu and finally came to Shu, so there was the plain and comfortable life in 'River Village'. We don't see much of Du Fu's depiction of his wife, but we can see from Du Fu's experience his deep affection and gratitude for his wife, it can be said that without his wife Yang, there would be no stable rear for Du Fu, without Yang, perhaps his poems would have been born with many tunes of lamenting his own life, there would be more pettiness, and less concern for the world. It's not easy to meet a good woman, and it's even harder to meet a good woman who will never leave you in life, Du Fu is unfortunate, but also lucky. This is just my opinion, please forgive me. Originality is not easy, please like and follow.

All are now in full bloom, friends who want to go can go directly, to experience a romance in the cold winter. - Address: Du Fu Thatched Cottage Cultural Creation Hall

Coming to Chengdu, the two must-visit museums are the Du Fu Thatched Cottage and Wuhou Shrine. Due to time constraints, I only visited the Du Fu Thatched Cottage and fell in love with its beautiful scenery~ 🌷 The Du Fu Thatched Cottage was the residence of Du Fu when he fled the An Lushan Rebellion in Chengdu. Du Fu lived here for four years and wrote more than 240 poems. However, the thatched cottage no longer existed after Du Fu left, and the current cottage was rebuilt during the Jiaqing era of the Qing dynasty, featuring a typical Chinese garden style. 🌷 Even if you're not interested in Du Fu, this is also a great place to enjoy spring and flowers. Large magnolias are in full bloom, thousands of pear trees are smiling, and potted azaleas are competing in beauty... The place transforms into a sea of flowers, with tranquility everywhere. 🛣️ Recommended route: South Gate ➡️ Cottage Exhibition Room ➡️ Daya Hall ➡️ Flower Path ➡️ Huanhua Shrine ➡️ Bonsai Garden ➡️ Tang Dynasty Ruins ➡️ Thatched Cottage ➡️ Gongbu Shrine ➡️ Chaimen ➡️ Shishi Hall ➡️ Dagai ➡️ Main Gate 🌷 However, there are many gates to the Du Fu Thatched Cottage, and the layout inside is not very regular, so it can be a bit difficult to find your way. In that case, you can just wander at will, and the attractions you stumble upon are all beautiful~ 🌸 Flower Path: The Flower Path is where the famous red wall of the Du Fu Thatched Cottage is located. There are many people taking photos here, so it's recommended to take pictures at the corner to capture the moment when there are no people. 🌸 Bonsai Garden: There are large and small bonsai trees arranged here, which feels very leisurely and comfortable, and there are many beautiful azaleas! 🌸 Near the Thatched Cottage: The pond near the thatched cottage is really beautiful! You can enjoy the sound of the babbling brook, paired with the thatched cottage on the shore, it's very 'forest-style'. 🌸 Near the Tang Dynasty Ruins: There is a large pond near the ruins, with a small stone path laid on it, and you can even walk to the middle of the pond. There is a whole pear tree in bloom by the pond, paired with a small waterfall, the scenery is extremely pleasing to the eye. 🗒️ Du Fu Thatched Cottage Museum 📍 No. 37, Qinghua Road, Qingyang District 🕒 9:00-18:00 💰 50 yuan 🌸 Recommended visiting time: 2-3 hours 🚇 Subway Line 5 Qingyang Palace

Chengdu, just these two words 'hot pot' are enough to be a destination~ 4 days and 3 nights, let's go ------- Day1⃣️: ✅Check into the hotel You can walk around near the hotel in the evening My hotel is booked near Wuhou Temple, and I went to 👉Jinli for a stroll in the evening Although it's quite commercialized But if you don't buy things and just stroll around, Jinli is still pretty good 🏠The hotel is the Urban Garden Chengdu Wuhou Temple Kuanzhai Alley Store, the environment is very good, about 300 per night, high cost performance ------- Day2⃣️: ✅Du Fu Thatched Cottage 🎫Ticket 50 'A thatched cottage west of the bridge, the water of the hundred flowers pool is the surging waves.' Enjoy the quiet beauty of the thatched cottage, feel the poet's eternal feelings, the trees are shaded, and there will be fewer people ✅Visit the Sichuan Art Museum (free by appointment) ✅ifs Guojin Mall, Taikoo Li (see the prosperity of Chengdu here) ------- Day3⃣️ ✅Sanxingdui 🎫Ticket 72 needs to be booked in advance The mysterious and unpredictable bronze culture, there are now new venues, how can you miss it when you come to Chengdu ✅Huoshui Park The main feature is the mosquito-free park, it's great to stroll in the summer, children can play with water, adults can drink tea by the river ------- Day4⃣️: ✅Chengdu Museum (free by appointment) There are not a few visitors, but it is cooler indoors, and the museum as a whole is worth a visit. You can ask for a guide, follow the historical context, understand the 'Land of Abundance', and marvel at the long history of Chinese civilization. ------- 💡TIPS: Chengdu is definitely a food capital, I feel that you won't step on a mine no matter where you eat I feel that Kuixing Building, Construction Road, and Wangping Street are all similar, just pick one and go! The Heming Tea House in People's Park can be experienced but there are too many people! I saw on the Internet that there are really a lot of people and children in the Panda Base, I'm very scared so I didn't go this time, it is recommended to go after the National Day holiday
