"Xiong'er, Ma'er, Feng'er"
"Poetry Sage" Du Fu named his children this way
Du Fu, Everyone knows that Du Fu was a great poet in the Tang Dynasty, but how many children did Du Fu have? What were their names? Did you know?
Zhu Jiujiu丨文
Du Fu is from Gong County, Henan Province, that is, we are from Gongyi, Henan Province. In terms of marriage life, Du Fu can be called a "late marriage". When he was 30 years old, he married the daughter of Yang Yi, the Sinong Shaoqing of Hongnong County (renamed Lingbao County during the Tianbao period).
Sinong Shaoqing is the deputy minister in charge of agriculture and finance, and he is a close match with the Du Fu family, who have been officials for generations.
Du Fu had four children, one of whom died of starvation in the fourteenth year of Tianbao. In addition, Du Fu's poem "Northern Expedition" contains the sentence "Two little girls in front of the bed", so Du Fu may have 5 children.
The famous children who can be tested are: the eldest son Zongwen, the second son Zongwu, and the daughter Feng'er.
Being able to be both literary and military, and hoping that the daughter will become a phoenix, the idea behind the name is no different from today’s parents. Du Fu also gave the children nicknames, Xiong'er, Jizi and Feng'er. As strong as a bear, as vigorous as a horse, and as tough as a phoenix.
There is another great sage named after animals, Confucius. He named his child "Carp".
In the Spring and Autumn Period, Confucius got a son, and Duke Zhao of Lu gave him a red carp as a congratulatory gift. Carp also has an auspicious meaning, so Confucius named his son Kong Li, whose courtesy name is Boyu.
Instead of taking the usual path, the "Poetry Immortal" Li Bai chose the name of his child and followed the "maverick" route.
The youngest son’s name is Li Poli. “Li” means “many”. According to the color, it is black. The soil is green, which is called Li. , plus the word "quite", "very dark, extremely dark", haha! As expected of Li Bai, "the father is white and the son is black", he is really very unique.
As for his daughter, Li Bai named him "Li Pingyang". Pingyang has always been a princess-like name, which shows Li Bai's love for his daughter.
The names of the children of some modern cultural celebrities are also very unique: Mo Yan’s eldest name is Guan Moye, and he named his daughter For Guan Xiaoxiao; Lu Yao, who wrote "The Ordinary World", was originally named Wang Weiguo, and his daughter was named Lu Mingming; Lu Xun named his son Zhou Haiying, which means "baby born in Shanghai"; the writer Zhou Guoping named his daughters respectively Niuniu, chirp.
No matter what name you give your child, parents all over the world have the same love for their children throughout the ages! They all want their children to be healthy and happy. Especially for Du Fu and his children, who were born in troubled times, happiness and comfort are their greatest wishes in life.
And those happy times scattered in the pain are even more valuable. So, let us take a look at Du Fu's happy daily life!
White Moonlight in Du Fu’s Life in His Hometown, Henan Province
In the early spring of 712 AD, Du Fu was born in Gong County, Henan Province (today’s In a cave dwelling at the foot of Bijia Mountain in Yaowan, two miles east of Gongyi City.
Even though it is a cave dwelling, at that time, the Du Fu family could definitely be regarded as a private mansion surrounded by mountains and rivers, offering tranquility in the midst of chaos.
Needless to say, the family environment is also quite tough. Du Fu's distant ancestor Du Yu was one of the founding fathers of the Western Jin Dynasty, with both civil and military talents; his grandfather Du Shenyan was famous in the literary world of the early Tang Dynasty; Du Fu's father Du Xian once served as the Sima of Yanzhou.
The official N generation has not run away. Therefore, in his childhood and adolescence, Du Fu could be said to be a young man wearing bright clothes and angry horses. He could be happy no matter what!
"? Like Yi shooting at nine sunsets, like all the emperors flying into the sky.
It comes like thunder and withdraws its wrath, and it ends like the clear light of the river and sea."
Six-year-old Du Fu lives a carefree and happy life like a child. It is a great pleasure to watch Aunt Gongsun dance the sword. This also inspired him to write many poems about sword dancing.
When he was 55 years old, when he was living in Kuimen, he saw Aunt Gongsun's disciples dancing swords, which brought back memories and wrote "Looking at Aunt Gongsun" Disciples' Sword Dance".
"The Collection of Baiyou"
Du Fu
Recalling the fifteenth year of my life, my heart is still a child.
As healthy as a yellow calf walking back.
In August, pears and dates are ripe in front of the court.
A tree can climb a thousand times in one day.
In ancient times, a 15-year-old girl became "at the age of hair", which meant she could get married. When boys turn 15, they have to tie up their hair and start "studying hard."
/p>
Even now, at the age of 15, he still has to study hard for the high school entrance examination, and what is Du Fu doing? Going back to the tree a thousand times a day, picking pears and hitting dates!
Reading in the school, running in the mountains, fishing in the river, picking dates from the trees, watching sword dances, admiring spring flowers...
This constitutes the first happy memory of Du Fu's life, and will also be the eternal beauty of his life.
Happiness is every moment with you
In addition to the memories of his youth, I think Du Fu’s happy moments, The most touching thing is the time he spent with his wife and children.
During the day, I took my old wife on a small boat,
I watched my young child bathing in the clear river.
"Entering the Boat" by Du Fu of the Tang Dynasty
During the day, my old wife and I took a boat ride together. The sky cleared. Take a bath in the clear river water with your children.
"The old wife draws paper to make a chess game,
the child knocks needles to make a fishing hook."
My wife drew a chess game on paper and we were ready to play, while the child jingled and bent needles to make fishhooks for fishing.
"But see where my wife is worried, she is writing poems and books and she is crazy with joy.
To sing during the day, you need to indulge in alcohol. Youth is a companion for returning home.

That is, pass through Wu Gorge from Ba Gorge, then go down to Xiangyang towards Luoyang.
"
"Looking back at my wife and children, I have swept away all my worries and rolled up my poems and books. The whole family is overjoyed. From Baxia, through Wuxia, through Xiangyang and then to Luoyang, you can go home! ”
Many of Du Fu’s poems include the figure of his wife “Ms. ("Qing Xing") In Du Fu's eyes, she is a kind mother;
"The old wife is worried and paralyzed, and the young girl is asking questions about her head" ("Qing Ming Feng Cheng Yan Gong") 》) is a gentle wife; "The old wife writes a lot of books, but she has not returned to love" ("Guest Night") is a sensible woman. p> The important thing is that she gave Du Fu a home to rest his depressed and painful heart. Even if the family was just a lonely boat wandering around, his wife gave him endless comfort.
Some people say that life is like a box of chocolates, no one knows what the next piece will taste like. Later, Du Fu will spend his whole life remembering the beauty of the past.

And we know that this poet, who lived a miserable life, also had a few happy moments, like torches in the dark night that illuminated his life.
"The fish come out in the drizzle, and the swallows slant in the breeze", "The green birds in the river are more than white, the blue flowers in the mountains are about to burn", "The round lotus floats" "Little leaves, fine wheat falling off the light flowers", "Through the flowers, the butterfly can be seen deeply, and the dragonflies fly on the water"...
Every moment is unique to him. life.
