The historical controversy of burial place

Since ancient times, there has been controversy about the burial place of the great poet Du Fu. It is generally believed that there are several places where Du Fu was buried

On Luoyang Yanshi

Du Fu, the great poet of Tang Dynasty, was buried in the north of Dulou village, Yanshi County, about 23 kilometers east of Luoyang City. The tombstone was erected in 1790, the 55th year of the reign of Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty, and inscribed with the words "Tomb of Duke Du Wenzhen in Shaoling found by the Ministry of industry of the Tang Dynasty". When the tomb was rebuilt in 1956, it was surrounded by green bricks in an octagonal shape. In the north of the tomb, the original Tomb of Du Shenyan, the grandfather of Du Fu, has been abandoned. Further north, there is the tomb of Du Yu, the ancestor of Du Fu and Marquis of Dangyang in Jin Dynasty, but only one tombstone has been preserved.

On Leiyang, Hunan

Du Fu was poor in his later years. In the third year of Dali (768), his family went to Hunan through Hubei Province. He ascended Hengshan mountain from Yiyuan to Hunan Province and went up the Xiangjiang River. In the fifth year of Dali, he went to Chenzhou to visit his relatives. Because of the surge of Leishui, he lived in Leiyi. Nie Lingli of Leiyang was the guest of honor. In that year, Fu died of poverty and disease in a boat from Leiyang to Hengyang. Nie Lingzhi was buried and built a tomb. His back passes to the south, and stone railings are built around the tomb. On the front, there are stone carvings of the Southern Song Dynasty, with "the tomb of Duke of the Ministry of industry of Tang Dynasty" pasted horizontally.

In the fourth year of emperor Tianyou of Tang Dynasty (907), Du Gong temple was built around the tomb, with a courtyard style building and civil structure. In the main hall of the center, there is a wooden statue of Du Fu, who is good at incense. There are more than 10 rooms in the East and west corridor, which are used for sacrifice and guarding the tomb. In Song Dynasty, a duling Academy was built beside the Duke temple. In 1940, the Hunan Provincial Government rebuilt Du Fu's tomb, and Xue Yue, chairman of the Hunan provincial government, rebuilt the tombstone of Du Gong Bu in front of the tomb. In July 1956, the tomb temple was designated as a key cultural relic protection unit in Hunan Province. In 1975, Leiyang No.1 middle school built the school and demolished the main hall of the ancestral hall. Only the west corridor room of the back building and the remnant stele of Peng Ershu, a Qing Dynasty man, were left. In 1996, the Leiyang municipal government repaired the tomb and the disabled house. Today, there are Du Fu tomb, Du Gong temple, Du Ling Bridge and Du Fu Academy in Leiyang.

Both the old book of the Tang Dynasty and the new book of the Tang Dynasty record that Fu was a guest of Leiyang, visited Yuemiao temple, the flood came suddenly, and he was not allowed to eat for ten days. The county magistrate has boat to welcome, and to taste the beef baijiu. If you drink too much, you die overnight. So he was buried in Leiyang. Thirty seven years later, Han Yu was banished to Lei and paid tribute to Du Fu, leaving behind a poem that "I visited Leiyang road this spring, and I went to find a tomb on the river.".

It is located in xianshou mountain, 2.5km southwest of Xiangyang City, Hubei Province. Because of its ancestral home in Xiangyang City, Hubei Province, it was buried on xianshou mountain in the south of the city in his later years. On the tombstone, there is "the tomb of the Ministry of industry of the Tang Dynasty and Du Dynasty", which is erected by later generations.

True textual research

It is the tomb of Du Fu in Pingjiang that buries Du Fu

Du Fu's tomb in Xiaotian village of Pingjiang is the place where Du Fu, the great patriotic poet of Tang Dynasty and world cultural celebrity, died. In the winter of 768 (the third year of Dali in Tang Dynasty), he left Sichuan to Yueyang by boat with his wife and children. 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 cause chaos. In order to avoid the war, Du Fu went back to Xiangjiang River in the middle of the night to take refuge with his uncle Cui Wei in Chenzhou. 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 turned around and returned to Jujiang Pavilion in Changsha. I miss my hometown in the late autumn and enter the Dongting by boat. Because of the recurrence of a serious disease, the cost of money exhausted, had to go back to the Miluo River to Changjiang County (now Pingjiang) to seek medical treatment. Unfortunately, he died in the county residence and was buried in Xiaotian Tianjing lake. His son Zongwu and sun Siye left a tomb guard. Since then, Du's family has been in a continuous line.

Du Fu's tomb is located in the north and south. It is a round mound. In front of the tomb, there is a green stone tablet inscribed with "the tomb of Du Wenzhen, a member of the left Collection Department of the Tang Dynasty."

. In front of the tomb is Du Wenzhen's temple, which was rebuilt in the 10th year of the reign of Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty. There are official hall and Tieping poetry society inside the temple. There is a blue stone plaque on the top of the temple door, which is engraved with the word "Shisheng Yiqian". Wang Dechen of the Song Dynasty sighed in a poem: "when water meets Miluo, the heart of heaven is deep. Move to the work department and die to accompany the doctor. Exile with the eternal, a total source of coquettish. The mountains and rivers are not suspended, and the cold sun goes down to Xiyuan. " There are endless feelings for Qu Yuan and Du Fu, the two great patriotic poets, who died in the same place and were buried in the neighborhood.

appraisal

Du Fu's tomb is located in Xiaotian village, Daqiao Township, Tianjing Lake in the south of the county. The tomb was rebuilt in the ninth year of the reign of Emperor Guangxu. It was divided into three chambers: the left chamber was pulled apart during the cultural revolution. Two stone lanterns, a pile of rotten ancient books, and three vine balls covered with sticky rice and mud were taken out. The balls were opened and some broken silk and silk were hidden inside. There were ink marks on them. It was speculated that they might be manuscripts of Du Fu's poems. There are six tombs of Du Fu all over the country. Whether they are real tombs or not and whether they have been moved or not have been debated by historians. We believe that this tomb should be a real one. One of the relevant evidences is that in the third year of the Ming Dynasty, the old preface to the pedigree of the Du family in Tingzhou, Fujian Province, it says that Yu Meigong left his hand and gave it to wailang, a staff member. He traveled to Hunan in the evening, died between tanyue and Yueyang, and died in Yueyang. He had two sons. Zhang Zong Wen Gong died early, and the second Zong Wu Gong was ill and hard to be buried. He asked his son Tong Ye Gong to be buried in Yanshi. Because of the fighting, he failed to get rid of the trouble. So he was buried in Pingjiang. Bu Ju was a city, and he kept his burial with sacrifice. ". This genealogy shows that Du Fu was buried in Pingjiang at first, but he wanted to move his burial, but he didn't.

Secondly, according to Qianlong's Pingjiang county annals, "in the Ming Dynasty, Chen *, the governor of Hunan Province, Zhang Jingxian, was stationed in Pingjiang. In the family of Du Fu, a descendant of Du Fu, the original imperial edict granted to Du Fu Zuoshi on May 16, the second year of Zhide of Tang Dynasty, and the imperial edict granted to Du Bangjie on December 20, the 32nd year of Shaoxing of Song Dynasty were found. Chen and Zhang also wrote postscripts for the compilation of the Du family tree.

Third, there is a Du family cave in Xiaotian today. The surname of Cha Changjiang Du is Qianping, and the ancestor is Du Zongwu. The four celebrities surnamed Du in Song Dynasty are also from Pingjiang. Du Bangjie, Du Fu, Du GUI, Du Ze and Du Zheng, who were granted imperial edicts in the 30th year of Shaoxing in Song Dynasty, still lived in the courtyard Lake of Du family in Xiaotian, Pingjiang at that time.
