The next spring, the boat lived in Tanzhou (now Changsha). In April of 770, the fifth year of Dali in Tang Dynasty, the soldiers and horses of Hunan Province made Zang fan raise his troops to make trouble. In order to avoid the war, Du Fu went back to Chenzhou in the middle of the night to take refuge with his uncle Cui Wei. When the boat arrived at Fangtian post in Leiyang, it couldn't move forward in the flood, and it couldn't eat for half a decade. Leiyang County order is heard to be sent to beef baijiu.

Du Fu's tomb in Leiyang

According to Leiyang county annals, Du Fu went to Shu in order to avoid the chaos of war at the beginning. Wuzu, Sichuan chaos, moved to Kuizhou again. In the third year of Dali, he went down to the gorge, went to the south of Jing and visited Hengshan. He would be suitable for Chenzhou, and lived in Leiyang according to his uncle's Nie Shilang. " At that time, Du Fu had no food for a long time. The Nie County order was shipped out and donated beef and Baijiu to Du Fu. One night, Du Fu was so drunk that he stayed in a restaurant on the river. As a result, he was drowned and left only one boot on the river. Nie's magistrate had to make his boot a grave. This is also recorded in other historical books, such as the new and old books of the Tang Dynasty. From this we can see that Du Fu's body was not found after his death, so Du Fu's tomb in Leiyang is just a clothes tomb where his boots were buried. It is said that the tomb is located in Erli, the northern suburb of Leiyang county. It was built during the reign of emperor LiZong of the Southern Song Dynasty (1260-1264). It was rebuilt for the then magistrate Ma Xuan during the reign of Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty.

In the epitaph written by Yuan Zhen, there is "the tomb of Marquis dangxin", that is to say, Du Fu was buried on the side of Marquis dangxin (Du Yu, the great general of Zhennan in Jin Dynasty, is the 13th ancestor of Du Fu), and the tomb of Du Shenyan, the grandfather of Du Fu, is also here. In Tang Dynasty, Yanshi belonged to the capital of Luoyang, so it was reasonable for Heiye to bury his grandfather in Yanshi.

Du Fu was not successful in his whole life. In his later years, he was exiled in Jiangxiang, suffering from poverty and illness. Before he died, he told his descendants: "life can not be juxtaposed with his distant ancestor, the Marquis of Yang, and after he died, he should be buried with him." At that time, the family was unable to transport his coffin home for burial, so they had to temporarily stop in Yuezhou.

Forty years later, the economy of the Du family gradually improved. During this period, Du Fu's grandson often dreamed of the image of his grandfather. One night, when Siye was just asleep, he heard the sound of horse's hooves. He turned around and saw that an old general with white beard came to the courtyard on a high horse, claiming to be Du Yu. I saw my grandfather Du Fu come out of the house to meet him. The white beard general said, "I miss you very much because you have been abroad for a long time. I've come here to find you. Come back with me." Du Fu said happily, "I can't wait for it!" After that, he got on his horse and rode away behind Du Yu. When Heiye woke up, it was a dream. He suddenly remembered his grandfather's last words and immediately called his family to discuss and decided to move his grandfather's coffin to the north for burial.

He came to the Bank of the Yangtze River, ready to cross the river without telling the boatman. Who knows, when he got on the boat, he was found by the boatman and asked him to get off the boat, otherwise he would throw the bone into the river. Heiye begged for it, which showed that it was the skeleton of Du Fu. At this time, a wealthy young man on the same boat, when he heard that it was Du Fu's remains, had a wicked heart, and wanted to kill his Heiye, steal his remains, and show off in the future. So he bought the boatman to push his inheritance to the river. When the boat reached the middle of the river, Siye had noticed something and carried his grandfather's bones firmly on his back. When the rich master winked and the two boatmen were about to start, suddenly a whirlwind came, making the sky dark and the water dark. The ship was violently bumpy. The people on the ship could not stand still. With a "plop", the rich master fell into the river. The boatman trembled with fright and quickly anchored the boat. But he saw that the whirlwind again rolled Du Siye into the air, floated across the river and landed safely on the bank. The boatman watched Du Siye's body, back and bones go to the distance. They were all stunned and ashamed.

Suddenly feel tired, eyes astringent, drowsy, at this time the ear came grandfather's voice: "inheritance don't worry, a hundred birds set acupoints." When he woke up, he thought of "a hundred birds fixing their acupoints." he was very happy, but he couldn't believe it.

The next morning, Du Siye rushed to the village to look out. Suddenly, a group of magpies flew over his head. He was very excited. As the Magpies fly to the south of Duyu cemetery, which is in the middle of two villages, the Magpies fall under a red pomegranate tree, chirping. Du Siye thought that this was "a hundred birds set a hole", and called the villagers to dig a grave here.

Later, people changed the names of the two villages before and after the tombs of Duyu and Dufu to qiandulou and houdulou, expressing their nostalgia for these two great figures.
