"A grass hall in the west of the Wanli Bridge, the water of the Hundred Flowers Pond is a wave." The Caotang, where Du Fu lived for 3 years and 9 months, has now become a cultural landmark of the city, but how did it rise from the ground and who helped in the process of building it?
Alai gave a lecture in Alai's study
On the afternoon of March 19th, the second lecture of the Alai lecture series -- "Du Fu Chengdu Poetry" sponsored by Chuanguan News, Cover News and Shanghang Culture was held in the Alai Study Room. With the theme of "building a grass hall", Alai interprets in detail the rhetoric and usage in "Buju" and "Tangcheng", and extends from the construction of the grass hall to the poetic habitat.
"Du Fu came to Chengdu in exile, why did he choose to build a grass hall by huanhua Creek?" At present, writers pay attention to originality and are afraid of plagiarism, why does Du Fu dare to write an essay on the same topic as Qu Yuan, and use the title of "Buju" to write poems? At the beginning of the lecture, Ah Lai opened the sect and made it clear that the title of this poem is derived from the famous "Buju" of the Chu Ci, which literally means the location of the place of residence, but actually borrows Qu Yuan's choice of life path.
Writer Alai
The poem reads: "The water of Huanhua Creek is at the west end, and the owner is Bu lin tang you." Since ancient times, people have doubted the subject of the word "Bu", who is the site for the caotang? The land system of the Tang Dynasty was the "well field system", which was planned by the state in a unified way, and Du Fu could not build randomly, and Alai tended to think that the "master" in the poem was Pei Mian, the envoy of Xichuan Jiedu, who chose a place for Du Fu with forests and water and far from the city.
At that time, Qu Yuan often gave advice to the King of Chu, and was expelled from the center of government affairs, so he went to divination as to why he was not liked by the King of Chu. However, Du Fu lived in Chengdu with the sadness of the Anshi chaos, but because the local customs and customs swept away the haze, the pen was happy. Du Fu was not afraid of "composition with the same topic", and boldly followed Qu Yuan's old topic and wrote new ideas, which was a kind of "cultural self-confidence" in the eyes of Alai.
It is worth mentioning that the lecture was full of people, and the online live broadcast of the cover news also attracted netizens to stop and watch. As of press time, the live broadcast of "Poetry Endlessly, Du Fu Chengdu Poetry" Series ushered in the second session this Saturday, attracting 1.6 million people across the network to "cloud monitor" online, following Ah Lai's narration and watching Du Fu Caotang's construction. Among them, the number of views on the cover news client was 1.053 million, the number of views on the cover news Weibo and cover news video Weibo was 361,000, and the number of views on Sina News, Kuaishou, Douyin, Video Today's Headlines and Mobile Baidu was 186,000, and the number of online viewers of live broadcast reached a new high.
In the cover news live broadcast, many netizens "fight poems" online, chanting their favorite Du poems, you come and go, and you are happy. Some people nominated "The Song of the Hut Broken by the Autumn Wind", saying that it carried the worries of the country and the people of the poetry; some people admired "Tang Cheng" and ridiculed the "sheniu" Du Fu for feeling that he was more powerful than Yang Xiong. The two-hour lecture made the online and offline audiences feel unfinished, traveling through time and space to have a relationship with Du Fu's home and country feelings.
