Du Zijian, do you know the name of Du Fu's brother?

It’s a bad joke for you to ask a question about Du Zijian.

Du Fu’s nickname is Zimei. Guess his brother’s name is Zijian, and he’s not the bodybuilder.

According to your logic, I can guess that he also has a younger sister named Zili.

In fact,

Du Fu’s grandfather

Du Fu’s grandfather was Du Shenyan, a poet in the early Tang Dynasty. Du Shenyan was very talented, but he was proud of his talent. Together with Li Qiao, Cui Rong and Su Weiwei, Shao Shao is known as the "Four Friends of Wenzhou". In the first year of Xianheng (670), Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty, he was promoted to the rank of Jinshi and became the Xicheng Wei. Later he was transferred to Luoyang Cheng. In the first year of the Holy Calendar (698), Empress Wu was demoted to Jizhou Sihu to join the army. But at this time, he offended his colleague Guo Ruona and his superior Zhou Jizhong. The two conspired to frame Du Shenyan and sentenced him to death. Du Fu's uncle Du Bing, at the age of thirteen, assassinated Zhou Jizhong, which shocked both the government and the public. As a result, Du Shenyan survived and was summoned to the capital by Wu Zetian. Because of his appreciation of his poems and prose, he was awarded the title of Zuo Lang, and he was promoted to the rank of Wai Lang, a member of the Ministry of Food and Beverage. Later, he was exiled to Fengzhou for colluding with Zhang Yi's brothers. But he was ordered back soon.

Parents

Du Fu's father is Du Xian, the eldest son of Du Shenyan, and his biological mother was from Wucheng, Qinghe East. However, she died soon after his birth, and his father remarried Lu. Du Fu was raised by his aunt. Du Fu had an elder brother who died young, three half-brothers and a half-sister, whom Du Fu often mentioned in his poems. But Du Fu rarely mentioned his stepmother.

In Du Fu's poems, there are many references to younger brothers and sisters. There are four names of his younger brothers that appear in the poem: Ying, Guan, Zhan, and Feng. For example, in Du's poems, "Send off my younger brother Ying to Qizhou", "Get my younger brother to read books", "My younger brother returns to the thatched cottage" and "The fifth younger brother Feng is alone in Jiangzuo" and other poems. From the title of the poem, they are all called "Brothers", and we know that Du Fu is the eldest among his brothers, and Ying, Guan, Zhan, and Feng are all younger brothers of Du Fu. The title of the poem also calls Feng the fifth brother, knowing that Feng is the youngest among the brothers; in addition, the order of Ying, Guan, and Zhan is unclear.

Of Du Fu's four younger brothers, only Zhan Suifu entered Shu. There was just a poem called "Brother Zhan returned to the thatched cottage to inspect the school and talked about this poem", which said: "I have been a guest for a long time. Come with me alone."

The other three brothers are all scattered. throughout. Du Fu's poem "Remembering My Brother on a Moonlit Night" says: "My brothers are all scattered, and I have no family to ask about life and death." "Living in Tonggu County in the Qianyuan Dynasty" also says: "There are younger brothers and younger brothers in the distance. Each of the three is thin, who is stronger? "

Wife

When Du Fu was 30 years old, he temporarily stopped his wanderings between Qi, Lu, Yan and Zhao, returned to Luoyang, and built a land at the foot of Shouyang Mountain in the northwest of Yanshi County. Hunshan Villa, and then married the daughter of Yang Yi, the Sinong Shaoqing of Hongnong County (renamed Lingbao County during the Tianbao period). Sinong Shaoqing was the deputy minister in charge of agriculture and finance, and he was a close match with the Du Fu family, who had been officials for generations. His wife is more than ten years younger than him. Unfortunately, Du Fu did not write a biography of his beloved wife, and Mrs. Yang's name is unknown, but she is mentioned in many places in Du Fu's poems.

Children

They have two sons, Zongwen and Zongwu, and one daughter, Feng'er.
