The videos I watched became popular in ancient times

Chapter 50 Poet Du Fu
  Su Chen finished watching the video and looked at the system activation progress.

In less than two days, the activation progress has reached 20%. It seems that in a few days, the system will be fully activated.

Su Chen was quite excited when he thought that he could reach the pinnacle of his life after the system was activated.

After calming down his restless heart, Su Chen continued to watch videos.

In the end, there were still videos about history. Maybe he had watched more history-related videos in the past two days, so Douyin kept pushing videos in this area to him.

But just by looking at the title of the video, he was still very interested.

[10 famous failed students in history#history#historical stories]

[First place, Du Fu.

Du Fu lived a stable and prosperous life as a teenager. He was very studious since he was a child, and he was able to receive the influence of various cultures due to family reasons, which also had a great impact on his future poetry creation.

When Du Fu became an adult, he came to Jiangnan alone to visit the famous mountains and rivers of the Tang Dynasty. He didn't return home until he was 23 years old, just in time for the provincial examination, so he signed up for it.

Du Fu relied on his talent to succeed in the examination, and then he packed up his backpack and went to Luoyang to take the Jinshi examination.

Du Fu also prepared for this exam for a long time, thinking that he could get a Jinshi even if he didn't win the top prize. However, when he walked out of the exam room with full confidence, he didn't come out on the list.

Although Du Fu was very disappointed, he did not take it too seriously. He also went to the land of Qi and Zhao, climbed Mount Tai, the first of the five mountains, and left behind an eternally famous poem "Wang Yue".

Twelve years later, Du Fu took the exam again, but still failed. In order to realize his political ideals, he had to switch to a wealthy family, but still no results.

He lived in Chang'an for ten years but failed to achieve his goals. He also witnessed the extravagance and social crisis of the upper class society in the Tang Dynasty, which also caused a major change in his mentality.

He turned grief into strength and created a large number of famous poems for future generations. His frustration in his official career also inadvertently created a great figure in the poetry world. 】

"Li Baixiu's words filled up half of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, and Du Fu's frown filled up half of the troubled times."

"I would like to regard Du Fu's Ascension as the Seventh Rule of Eternity"

"Li Linfu missed Du Fu's life"

"Although his talent may be slightly less than that of Li Bai, Du Fu is actually more profound than Li Bai, which should have something to do with his personal character and experience."

"Without these hard days, I wouldn't be able to write famous poems through the ages."

"I like Du Fu better than Li Bai. The song "The Official in the Stone Haul" is a true reflection of the people suffering from war in troubled times."

"Du Fu has been writing history all his life. I cried to death when the three officials said goodbye"

"Poets talk about epics, only Du Fu is the sage of poetry"

"You are talented but you are living in such a miserable life. It is really fate that plays a trick on you. Li Longji has brought disaster to the country and the people!" 》

Datang.

Looking at his miserable life on the sky, Du Fu looked melancholy and sighed deeply in his heart.

His ideal since childhood was to serve the country and realize his life ambitions.

For this reason, he took part in the imperial examination, hoping to go to high school and enter the court.

But in the end, his reputation fell into decline, and he had no chance to realize his ambition.

He has been actively preparing for the imperial examination these years, thinking that he can go to high school next time.

But now people tell him that after 12 years of preparation, he still failed.

It was uncomfortable to know his final fate, which made him feel extremely disappointed.

It was already sad enough that he could not realize his ideal in life, but later generations told him that the sadder things were yet to come.

He looked at the comments of later generations and was basically certain that he would spend the rest of his life in troubled times.

This made him unable to believe that the Tang Dynasty was at its peak, so how could it suddenly enter troubled times?
  He recalled the comments made by later generations about His Majesty the Tang Dynasty, saying that it would have been better if His Majesty had died earlier.

Now it seems that he understands something.

It is estimated that in his later years, the Tang Dynasty under His Majesty's governance encountered a major crisis, which caused the Tang Dynasty to be at war and the people suffered from wars. He somewhat understood what later generations meant when they said that he made up for half of the troubled times.

Li Bai's half of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, and his Du Fu's half of the troubled times.

From this point alone, we can see what kind of troubled times he experienced in his later years.

Knowing this made him even more sad.

Repeatedly failing the exam was enough to make him sad. Now it seemed that this was just an appetizer, and the real suffering was still waiting for him.

At this moment, he felt very bitter and didn't want to talk.

But the only thing that made him happy was knowing that he was called the Poet.

The word "poetic saint" carries a heavy weight, which is enough to show how rich his talent will be in the future.

It is not something that anyone can do to be famous throughout the ages. He is still very happy that his name can be remembered forever.

However, when he thought that he was famous in history for composing a large number of poems with a sad tone in troubled times, his happy smile could not help but be mixed with a hint of bitterness.

Compared with writing poetry, he was more willing to serve as an official in the court and express his political ideals.

But now it seems that he has never been able to realize his ideals in his life.

Li Bai felt deeply for Du Fu's experience and sighed repeatedly.

Although there were only four words in "Half a Troubled World", he saw the miserable situation of Brother Zimei in the second half of his life.

There was nothing he could do about it, it was not something he could change.

However, he secretly decided that when he meets Brother Zimei next time, he will have a few more drinks with him.

Li Longji frowned when he saw Du Fu's miserable second half of his life.

Especially in half of the troubled times, when the people were suffering from war, such words made him particularly sad.

He had heard of Du Fu's name.

He remembered clearly that Du Fu had previously composed the brilliant "Three Great Rites" dedicated to him. At that time, he wanted to reward Du Fu with an official position, but in the end Li Linfu blocked it and the matter was settled.

Now later generations say that Du Fu's later years were very miserable and he suffered from the troubled times.

Combined with the evaluation of him by later generations, it was said that he lived too long.

He already had a rough idea of ​​what was going to happen next.

He couldn't believe it. The Tang Dynasty was at its peak now, so why would it be in trouble later?

Half of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, half of the chaotic Tang Dynasty, the difference is too big!
  He wanted to know what happened later, which led to such a huge crisis in Datang and plunged Datang into a situation beyond recovery.

At this moment, he was terrified.

Especially because he didn't know what caused the chaos in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, it made him even more frightened.

After a long time, he slowly calmed down his panic.

It is useless to think so much now. The most urgent task now is to find out the root cause of the troubled world and then nip the root cause in the cradle.

As for the root cause, he believed that future generations would tell him the answer.

He has already seen that most of the videos played on the sky screen are about history, and sooner or later they will talk about the reasons why his Kaiyuan era turned from prosperity to decline.

Then he noticed that later generations had a high opinion of Du Fu.

Since later generations rated Du Fu as a poet, it is enough to show that Du Fu was talented and a talent that could be reused.

In this case, then call Du Fu and give him an official position.
