-Du Li's friendship in the Wenhe River Basin.
outer city wall
What am I doing here, high dune city,
There are ancient trees on the edge of the city, and autumn sounds ring day and night.
Lu wine is not drunk, so sing a song for nothing.
If you think of a gentleman, you will send him to the south.
This is a poem written by Li Bai and Du Fu in the sand dunes (now the ancient city of Tianbao Town in the southwest of Xintai) when they traveled to Qilu together in the fourth year of Tang Tianbao (AD 745) and broke up in Yanzhou. In the past, the two poets were "drunk in autumn * * *, walking hand in hand in the sun" (Du Fu's "Seeking Ten from Li Twelve"). Why not let the poet Li Bai remember? The poet lay high on the sand dune, looking at the ancient trees in the academy he enjoyed with Du Fu in the city from a distance, and the Wenhe River flowing from the south to the west, which aroused the poet's deep yearning for Du Fu.
In the 24th year of Kaiyuan (AD 736), Li Bai moved from Anlu, Hubei Province to Rencheng, Yanzhou and Donglu (now Jining), and lived in seclusion with Han Huai, Pei Zheng, Kong, Tao Mian and Zhang Shuming in Culai Mountain in Wenhe River Basin, which was known as "Zhu Xi's Six Replies". Up to now, the stone in the stone valley of Culai Mountain is still engraved with the word "Zhuxi" written by Li Bai, as well as six poems "You Tai Shan" written by Li Bai in the summer of the first year of Tianbao, which write the wonders of "The sea falls in front of you, the sky is far from sky blue" and "The flowers in the mountains are different, and the snow is white". I also wrote about reaching the peak and flying high. For example, Li Bai and Du Fu both love nature, and their long-term roaming life has enabled them to write many poems related to outstanding cultural and historical sites. Du Fu wrote a poem "Looking at Yue" when he was roaming the land of Qilu. The poem said: "When you climb to the top of the mountain, you can see that other mountains are dwarfed under the sky. ! "Du Fu's youthful vitality and Li Bai's free and easy climbing Mount Tai naturally become high standards. In the fourth year of Tianbao (745), Li and Du traveled to Qilu together. Go boating in Donglumen, visit historical sites and have a drink in Dune City where Li Bai lives. Li and Du further forged a brotherly friendship.
In the autumn of Tianbao four years, the two broke up, and Li Bai bought a farewell dinner, wrote a poem and wrote a famous sentence "Lu Shimen sent Du":
Not drunk for a few days, boarded the pool platform.
When will Shimen Road open again?
Eyes rested on Surabaya, and the sea was bright.
Looking across the wall, the cup is in your hand!
Yes! "The eaves are thousands of miles away, and the cup is in hand!" After Li He broke up, the two great poets were like flying umbrellas and never met again. Du Fu is even more infatuated: "Bai Ye's poems are invincible, floating in the air, thinking of no group. Fresh to open a house, Junyibao joined the army ... when a bottle of wine, a heavy and detailed paper. " (Du Fu's Spring Memories of Li Bai) Even in my dream, I am concerned about and miss Li Bai. "I dreamed of you for three nights, as gentle, intimate and true as waking up. ; By rivers and lakes-storms, shipwrecks, fear in a small boat. " It can be seen that Du Fu's praise of Li Bai's poems and his sincere love for the poet are sincere. When can we meet again and talk about wine and poetry like we used to? What an unforgettable and yearning thing!
The friendship between these two great poets has become a much-told story in the poetry circle. Du Li and his discerning friend became bosom friends, and their profound friendship continued like a warm river.
