In the fourteenth year of Tianbao, Du Fu was named Hexi Wei, a small official. Du Fu was refused to take office because Hexi was too desolate and had no prospects for political development. Later, the court changed him to Cao Shenjun, a right-wing garrison. At that time, Du Fu was 44 years old and had to consider supporting his family. Many people may not know what this soldier Cao does. In fact, it can take care of the guards' equipment and manage lower and simpler tasks, and is currently equivalent to a librarian. In June of the same year, Du Fu went home to visit relatives. His youngest son starved to death. Du Fu is very sad. Du Fu is not poor because he cares about the world, the country and the people. There is no way to show your ambition.
If you really associate Du Fu with the overturned hut and the poor people who ate their last meal, you are wrong, not to mention being deceived by the research of later generations.
In fact, Du Fu also crossed mink, rode a steed, bent his bow and shot an eagle, three or two servants, a hectare of bamboo forest and hundreds of peach blossoms, and lived a more comfortable life than most white-collar workers today.
He is a rich Du Fu, a Du Fu who cares about mountains and rivers, and a Du Fu who exchanges clothes for wine. In fact, he is not poor, but different from what ordinary people yearn for. So Du Fu was originally rich, but because of the war, he couldn't find the official position he wanted and couldn't display his ambition. And ended up here.
