A brief introduction to the historical story of Du Fu's Caotang
1. Du Fu Caotang Museum (Chengdu Du Fu Caotang Museum) is located on the Huanhua River outside the west gate of Chengdu, Sichuan Province. It was the former residence of Du Fu, a great realistic poet in China in the Tang Dynasty, when he lived in Chengdu. In the winter of 759 AD, Du Fu went to Shu with his family to avoid the "Anshi Rebellion" and built a thatched cottage in Chengdu, named "Chengdu thatched cottage". Du Fu lived here for nearly four years and has written more than 240 poems so far. Among them, the banks of the Yellow River recovered by the imperial army have become compulsory courses for students in many areas. The former residence of Caotang is known as the "Holy Land" in the history of China literature.

2. The story of Du Fu's Caotang:

In the winter of 759 AD, Du Fu moved from Longyou (now southern Gansu Province) to Chengdu with his family to avoid the "Anshi Rebellion". In the spring of 760, with the help of friends, a small house was built by the picturesque Huanhua River in the western suburbs of Chengdu. In the spring of 76 1 year, the hut was built and called "Chengdu Caotang".

Du Fu finally lived a quiet life in Chengdu Caotang. But it didn't last long. In autumn, there was a strong wind, and Du Fu's hut was actually broken by the wind. The thatch on the roof was blown about by the strong wind. The wind is very strong, and some grass is blown high by the wind and entangled in the branches. Some grass drifted far away and fell into the stream; Others have drifted across the river.

In 765, Yanwu died of illness, and Du Fu had to say goodbye to his family and his family. Two years later, he lived in Jing and Hunan of the Three Gorges. After Du Fu left Chengdu, the thatched cottage was destroyed. During the Great Calendar Year of the Tang Dynasty (165438+October 766-65438+February 779), most of the thatched cottages were used as private houses by the concubine (Mrs. Huan Hua) who was then the ambassador of Sichuan Province to Cui Ning.

1952, Du Fu Caotang was completely renovated and officially opened to the public. 1955, Du Fu Memorial Hall was established.
