How did Du Fu die? How did Du Fu die?

Illness and death talk Reading Mo Lifeng and Tong Qiang's "Biography of Du Fu", about Du Fu's death, the book reads: "Winter is coming, and the poet is sick. Fell ill in the boat bound for Yueyang.

A giant star fell in this infinite loneliness and loneliness. (Tianjin People's Publishing House, January 2001, p. 316). Drowning This theory was first written in the name of Li Guan in the Tang Dynasty.

Since this statement was put forward, scholars of later dynasties have refuted this statement, and clearly pointed out the "hard injury" in this text, Tang Xuanzong died in the first year of Baoying, that is, in 762 AD, how could he go to Sizi Mei Dufu in 770? Self-sinking in water and dying This theory originates from the pseudo-Tang Dynasty Han Yu's "Title Du Zimei Tomb", which put forward the statement that "the three sages (referring to Qu Yuan, Li Bai, and Du Fu) belong to the same water". The three of them sank to themselves, which was obviously an unfounded imagination.

4. Death from food poisoning This is put forward by the famous modern scholar Guo Moruo, who is also speculative, and there is almost no literature as a basis for purely personal literary creation. After leaving Sichuan, Du Fu lived in Hunan, besieged by a sudden flood, and starved for 9 days in a row. The local county order rescued Du Fu with a small boat and entertained him with beef and liquor.

Busy to death. Because Du Fu is very busy.

There are many theories about the cause of Du Fu's death, some believe that he died of starvation, others believe that he was executed by order of the emperor, and others believe that he died of food poisoning.

To this day, the specific cause of Du Fu's death is still unknown. What is certain is that Du Fu died in the fifth year of Dali on a small boat from Tanzhou to Yueyang, when Du Fu was only fifty-nine years old.

Du Fu is known as the saint of poetry, but such a great poet lived in poverty all his life, lived in a thatched house, and recorded the social situation at that time with his own brushstrokes, and his death is embarrassing.

Du Fu Profile:

Du Fu (February 12, 712, 770), known as Zimei, self-named Shaoling Yelao, was a great realist poet of the Tang Dynasty, and was called "Li Du" together with Li Bai. Born in Gong County, Henan Province, he is originally from Xiangyang, Hubei. In order to distinguish it from the other two poets Li Shangyin and Du Mu, that is, "Little Li Du", Du Fu and Li Bai are also called "Big Li Du", and Du Fu is often called "Old Du".

There are three main theories about the cause of Du Fu's death, one is that he died after eating beef liquor, one is drowning, and the other is that he died of illness.

1. Du Fu lived in poverty in his later years and was in poverty. Scholars Mo Lifeng and Tong Qiang's "Biography of Du Fu" Zhong mentioned that Du Fu fell ill in the winter and then unfortunately died. In the Tang Dynasty Li Guan's "Supplement to Du Shi's Remains", it is recorded that Du Fu's boat was overturned by the river and unfortunately drowned in the water.

2. Du Fu, a famous poet in the Tang Dynasty, was worried about the country and the people all his life, but his later life was very unfortunate, there were many reasons for his death, some thought that he died of illness, and some thought that he died of drowning, and some people thought that he committed suicide by throwing himself into the water, and the famous scholar Guo Moruo also put forward the idea of death from food poisoning, and some people thought that he died of overeating.

3, the most recognized point of view is overeating and dying, according to legend, Li Bai left Sichuan after the death of his friend Yan Wu, wandered outside, and when he arrived at the place of Leiyang, it rained heavily, the river was **, Du Fu's boat was trapped on the river and could not walk, and at this time he was old and frail, and he had not been able to eat for a long time, and he was in a desperate situation. The Leiyang County Commander knew about Du Fu's situation and immediately sent someone to send wine and meat, and after eating, Du Fu unfortunately passed away that night. Later, scholar Guo Moruo thought that it was also possible that Du Fu died of food poisoning caused by eating rotten meat.

There are three main theories about the cause of Yu Dufu's death, one is "died after eating beef and liquor", the second is "drowning", and the third is "death from illness". Whether Du Fu died of illness in the boat, or died of beef liquor or was buried in the water, can not be conclusively determined, and needs to be further analyzed by researchers. How does beef liquor kill?

This question has given rise to different interpretations. As early as before the two Tang Dynasty books, the Tang Dynasty Deng Chuzhi had such a record in the "Miscellaneous Records of the Ming Emperor": "Fu threw poems into the slaughter, and slaughtered the cattle to burn the liquor to leave the fu, and drank too much, overnight."

It can be seen that the two Tang Dynasty books both adopt this theory, but they do not clearly state how beef liquor caused death. And Deng Chuzhi made it clear: Du Fu ate too much and died of swelling.

Later, those who studied Du Fu agreed with Deng Shou and some opposed him. In the book "Li Bai and Du Fu", Guo Moruo believes that Du Fu did die of beef and liquor, but not "death", but poisoning. As for drowning, it was first seen in the "Supplement to Du Poems" by Li Guan of the Tang Dynasty.

There is such a sentence in this book: "It is the river that swells, and it is drifting away in shock, and its corpse does not know where it fell." For this statement, many people think that it is pure nonsense, and some families have defended it later.

Despite this, some people imagine that Du Fu sank in the same sand as Qu Yuan. Because in this way, "the three sages (referring to Qu Yuan, Li Bai, and Du Fu) are all in the same water". However, this assumption has no basis and is not worth studying.

Many researchers still adhere to the view that Du Fu died of illness in the Xiangjiang River, and they have made reasonable explanations for various records and legends about the cause of Du Fu's death. In April of the fifth year of the Great Calendar, Du Fu, who was poor and sick in Tanzhou, fled with his family in a hurry, but suddenly encountered a sharp rise in the river, and could not sail, so he had to anchor in Fangtian. Du Fu was here without food for five or six days.

After the flood receded, he sent people to look for Du Fu on the river, but he was nowhere to be found, and it was concluded that Du Fu was buried in the water. Later, because of the records of "Miscellaneous Records of the Ming Emperor", "Supplement to Du Chuan", and the new and old "Book of Tang", there were legends such as Du Fu's death and drowning due to beef and liquor.

There is a saying that you die of bloating. Du Fu in his twilight years was riddled with illness, living in a flat boat with his wife and children, drifting between Shushan and Xiangshui. In April of the fifth year of the Tang Dynasty (770 AD), Du Fu took a boat to Chenzhou (now Chenxian County, Hunan), but on the way to the road was blocked by the river rising sharply, and he was trapped in Leiyang County for more than ten days.

At that time, Du Fu was so poor that he went without food for several days. After hearing about it, the Leiyang County Commander sent someone to send liquor and beef to Du Fu. A few days later, the county commander sent people to look for Du Fu, but he couldn't find it.

It is rumored that Du Fu died of swelling because he ate too much beef and drank too much liquor. The death of a generation of poets and saints in this way undoubtedly made it difficult for countless later Confucians who loved, admired, and admired Du Fu to accept. Liu Axe of the Song Dynasty said that Du Zimei went to Hunan and Chu from Shu and died in Leiyang.

The monk said more bluntly: "There have been sages who have lost their ambitions since ancient times, and there is no beef because of injuries." Gongyi scholar Sun Xianzhou believes that Du Fu died of wind paralysis in the winter of the fifth year of the Great Calendar.

At that time, Du Fu was in a hurry and did not have time to return to Xie Leiyang County, so he went down to Hengzhou. Although there is a tomb of Du Fu in Leiyang now, the literati of all dynasties unanimously agreed: empty tomb, empty tomb!

Xu Zhao of the Song Dynasty was quite angry in "Du Fu's Tomb", saying that people "Leiyang Zhixian is not a confidant", and said that "if it is more famous, it can be buried, and pedestrians will not hang empty graves". Nazhi County sent wine and meat to Du Fu, only kindness and no evil intentions, and the construction of Du Fu's tomb in the north of the county was also out of admiration. But the ancients were a little bit of a small family, confused, and did not recognize right and wrong, and poor Leiyang County did not get a good reward for his kindness.

What happened to the hungry old man, even if he died of distension? Does this have any impact on the reason why Du Fu is Du Fu? During the reign of Xuanzong, the funerals of princes and nobles were extravagant and extravagant, and they were all unpleasant to the court, and the specifications of the tombs should be set to curb the decline of thick burials.

At that time, the imperial court stipulated that if the third grade or more was buried, no more than 70 burial utensils were allowed, and no more than 20 pieces were allowed for the ninth grade; The utensils shall not be of gold or silver, but terracotta. It is said that the edict was eventually reduced to a dead letter, and the Tang Dynasty people did not recognize it. Du Fu was born in the era of thick burial, and was buried in the soil with a thin burial, which shows the miserable situation of Du Fu when he died.
