The Relationship between Du Mu and Wei Zi

Du actually refers to Du Mu, a writer and Yamato scholar in the Tang Dynasty. Du Mu's temper is straightforward and informal, and he doesn't like to please. He not only served as secretary in charge of Huainan Province, Zuo Bukui, editor of history museum, secretary of the school and foreign minister, but also enjoyed a good reputation in literature. His poems are beautiful and meaningful, just like Li Shangyin, and they are called "Little Du Li". Representative works include Jiangnan Spring, Tiujiang Pavilion, Bo Qinhuai and so on. Then why is he called "Du Weizi"?

First, the reason why Du Mu is called "Du Weizi"

Du Mu is called "Du" mainly because he has a work called Wei Zihua, which is a seven-character poem.

Second, the original poem

Purple osmanthus

Dondum

Autumn dew in Xiao Ying is a new branch, which does not occupy most of the spring in the garden.

What happened to peaches and plums? They laugh at sunny people in the wind.

Third, the creative background

The specific writing time of this poem is unknown, but it can probably be read that this is the most intense period of the struggle between Niu and Li. The poet is in a complicated struggle, but he insists on his own character and does not go with the flow. The author wrote this poem "Wei Zihua", although it is chanting Wei Zihua, but "the meaning of drunkenness is not wine" is actually the author himself.

Fourth, appreciate

Osmanthus fragrans blooms in summer, and the flowering period lasts for March and April. This poem, written by the poet, is based on the long flowering period of Osmunda japonica, and focuses on the humble character of Osmunda japonica. There are more than 30 words in the whole poem, but none of them is about Wei Zi, so that readers can enjoy the unique and beautiful texture of Wei Zi in surprise. Lagerstroemia speciosa not only does not strive for spring, but also smiles at the flowers that compete to bloom in sunny spring when autumn comes.

The poet tries his best to highlight the humble character of Ziweihua, and at the same time, he also praises people with humble virtues. Ziwei does not compete with flowers for spring, but its elegant and noble character and unique character are just like the poet's insistence on not going with the flow at this time. It is thought-provoking to use flowers as metaphors and whimsy to expand the tension and dramatic effect of poetry.

The writing of this song "Ziweihua" is very creative. By describing the gaudiness of peaches and plums, the elegant and noble mood of Osmanthus fragrans is reflected. It is the masterpiece of singing Ziwei Flower for thousands of years, so Du Mu is also called "Du Weizi".
