Although August has entered autumn, the hot weather in Chengdu still refuses to disperse. Because of the uncontrollable excitement, I have gone to Du Fu's former residence-Du Fu Caotang with my father.

"A thatched cottage with moonlight and strong winds"

Speaking of Du Fu, I am full of admiration. This "Du Fu Caotang" is a thatched cottage house built by Du Fu on the Huanhua River to avoid the "Anshi Rebellion" and bring his family into Shu. Poets have lived here for nearly four years, and more than 240 poems have been handed down so far.

Just got off the bus, but I saw a horizontal plaque hanging in front of the hall, which read four majestic characters "Du Fu Caotang". Presumably this is the main entrance of Du Fu's Caotang. Stepping into the main entrance, I only feel that the hall is particularly quiet. A sparkling river flows under the stone bridge, and a group of ornamental fish swim leisurely in the clear river. The hall is really "overgrown with vegetation". Tall trees are like giant green umbrellas. The sun shines through the green leaves and forms many spots on the path. From time to time, there are several crisp bird songs, which makes people feel relaxed and happy. It can be seen how much Du Fu longs for a comfortable and quiet life.

unforgettable

When you step into the tower, you will see the thin statue of Du Fu. Although exaggerated and abstract, Du Fu's frowning, slightly upturned head and hands touching the book inevitably reveal the poet's weather-beaten life experience and feelings of worrying about the country and the people. Looking at this bronze statue, tourists can't help but gently touch Du Fu's thin hands to share his inner pain.

The whole big bed is dominated by black and white, and it looks solemn without luxurious decoration. A famous couplet by Gu Fuchu, a scholar of Qing Dynasty, still hangs on the east and west walls of Daxie. "There are tens of millions of luxury houses, and the poor in the world are happy!" This famous couplet is so exquisite and intriguing that my father and I stopped looking for it for a long time before leaving.
