Chapter 157 Three Officials and Three Farewells
Wuyou made a few jokes and continued: "Du Fu followed the Confucian idea of ​​benevolence. He had the ambition to serve the emperors Yao and Shun, and to make customs pure. He had a great influence on the poetry of later generations. He was among the thousands of poems written by the people of the world. More than 500 poems have been preserved, and most of them are collected in Du Gongbuji."

"Like Li Bai, Du Fu's career was particularly unsatisfactory."

"The aristocratic families in the Tang Dynasty almost monopolized the court. Not only did it be difficult for people from poor backgrounds to get ahead, it was also difficult for people like Du Fu whose family background was no longer prominent. Du Fu's first scientific examination was at the age of 24, and unfortunately he failed. He began to travel in various ways, during which he met Li Bai, and traveled hand in hand with Li Bai and Gao Shi."

"In the sixth year of Tianbao, Emperor Xuanzong ordered a man with proficient skills to go to Chang'an. Du Fu, who was in his 30s, went to take the exam again. This time, a farce of wild and talented people occurred, and all the students who took part in the scientific exam failed."

"The road to the scientific examination was deadlocked. Du Fu had no choice. In order to realize his ideal, he had no choice but to seek refuge with the powerful and donate money to officials. Unfortunately, there was no result. He stayed in Chang'an for ten years because he had no job and no income. , Life is quite embarrassing.”

"There was also an opportunity during this period. At that time, Xuanzong held a grand sacrificial ceremony. Du Fu saw the opportunity and presented a large gift, which was appreciated by Xuanzong. He was ordered to wait for the establishment of Jixian Academy. However, he did not have a formal appointment, but he was qualified to be a candidate. , waiting for the official job to be assigned, maybe Du Fu and Li Linfu had a conflict, and the chief examiner this time is Li Linfu again. "

"Yes, it was Li Linfu who deceived Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty last time. This caused Du Fu to lose a valuable opportunity. And this time it was because of Li Linfu that Du Fu was not selected, and he still did not get a serious job."

"What should I do if I don't have a job? Du Fu had no choice. He was tortured by life. His life became more and more difficult, to what extent. In the 14th year of Tianbao, he got the official position of Hexi Lieutenant, but Du Fu was unwilling. So he was asked to serve as the right guard and lead the soldiers to join the army. What is the position of this official? In short, he is a very small official. He is responsible for guarding weapons and controlling access keys. He is equivalent to our current guard and warehouse manager. "

"Du Fu really has no choice this time. He is over 40 years old and has been stranded in Chang'an for more than ten years. He has been living without a source of income. If he doesn't work anymore, he really can't survive, so he can only settle for five buckets of rice. In November, Du Fu went home to spend time with his family. As soon as he entered the door, he heard crying. It turned out that his youngest son had died of hunger, and his wife was holding her youngest son and crying. Du Fu felt sad for a while, and then Thinking of what I had experienced in Chang'an in the past ten years, I wrote the famous [-]-word "From Beijing to Fengxian County".

"If you talk about this poem alone, many people may not know it, but if you read one sentence, everyone will understand. That is what is often mentioned in later generations. The wine and meat in the Zhumen are stinky, and the bones are frozen to death on the road."

Just reading this line of the poem gave countless people goosebumps.

This poem is so well written that people don’t know how to describe it.

Many people who didn't know this poem couldn't help but be stunned after hearing this sentence.

Many people who had experienced war and disaster burst into tears when they heard it, crying very miserably and sadly.

"God, how can people live..."

"Du Fu came from an official family, not from a poor background. But in those years, his youngest son starved to death. You can imagine how miserable the life of ordinary people must be."

"But no matter how much suffering Du Fu went through, his desire to serve the country could not be softened. He still had benevolence and righteousness in his heart, always thinking about being able to help the world. This can be seen from his song "The Thatch Was Broken by the Autumn Wind" You can see it, especially in the sentence "With tens of thousands of mansions, it will shelter all the poor people in the world with joy!"

“His own house is broken down and he is soaked in the rain, but he still thinks about when he will get tens of millions of sturdy houses so that all the suffering people in the world can have a house to live in, and they will not be exposed to wind and rain again. Put a smile on everyone’s face.”

"It can be said that Du Fu is a person who truly believes in the Confucian concept of benevolence and has always insisted on implementing it to the end. He is truly concerned about the country and the people..."

"The Anshi Rebellion broke out in the 14th year of Tianbao. Du Fu's family moved to seek refuge. However, when he heard that Suzong had ascended the throne, he still went north alone. As a result, he was captured by the rebels. At this moment, Du Fu was still paying attention to the development of the current situation and wrote as Make plans to counter rebellion."

"In the second year of Zhide, Du Fu escaped from Chang'an and crossed Fengxiang, where the two armies were facing each other, to join Suzong. This time he was appointed Zuo Shiyi, but he was soon demoted. Later he was appointed Zuo Shiyi, but was demoted again. "

"In the first year of Qianyuan, Du Fu left Huazhou to visit relatives. Along the way, he saw the suffering of the people in the war. He was filled with emotion and wrote the immortal epic Three Officials and Three Farewells that has been passed down for thousands of years."

"The three officials are Xin'an officials, Shihao officials, and Tongguan officials. The three farewells are the newlywed farewell, the old farewell, and the homeless farewell." When Wuyou said this, Pei Qingxu had already found six long poems about the three officials and three farewells. And play it out.

These six long poems were edited by Wuyou in advance. They contain not only words but also music, making them easy for people to empathize with.

The six poems were played out one by one, and countless people under the sky had wet eyes.

Li Shimin cried while watching: "I didn't expect that people after me would cause so many sufferings to the people. The sin is really too great."

Wu Zetian sat upright and looked at the young Li Longji beside her.

Li Longji's back was bent, and sweat was dripping from his forehead.

Seeing those lines of words, each word seemed to be the cry of the people, as if families were separated from their wives and children, and Li Longji sweated even more.

He didn't know how to argue, let alone how to explain that this was done by Li Longji later and had nothing to do with him.

Interstellar age
Many Nova people who could not even imagine such suffering cried.

"It was so difficult for our ancestors. I really can't imagine how we would live like this."

"Damn it, I'm not letting anyone live anymore. All the sons of that family were killed in the war. The family is so poor that they don't even have decent clothes. Yet they still want to kidnap someone to work as an errand..."

"The people at that time were too docile, how could they tolerate this?"

"I heard that the medical conditions in New Jupiter are not up to standard, and the residents there are still marching. If we had encountered a situation like that in ancient times, I'm afraid the decadent rule at that time would have been overthrown."

During the Qin Dynasty, the survivors of the Six Kingdoms could not help but discuss these poems.

"It seems that our life is a little better than that of future generations."

"That's right, at least we didn't arrest women to do work."

"And the laborers here are also paid some wages, unlike those in the Tang Dynasty, where they were captured to fight."

"Yes, all the men in the family are dead... we haven't encountered this before."

"It seems that the First Emperor is not a tyrant."

"Didn't the fairy say that the First Emperor is the only emperor of the ages?"
