The Du Fu Cottage

[zhouyaya]

The Du Fu Cottage, built at Chengdu, Sichuan Province, was the former residence of the poet's retreat in Tang dynasty.
In the winter of 759, Du Fu moved to Sichuan to take refuge and built a thatched hut at the bank of Huanhua Stream, which he praised it as cottage. He stayed there for 3 years and 9 months composing more than 240 poems, many of which were composed with the Cottage as the subject at the sight striking a chord in his heart.

The total area of the Cottage is about 200,000 square meters. Its structure is after the style of the Han period. In the courtyard of the cottage, nanmu reach high up to the sky, the plum and bamboo all grow profusely, the flow of stream can be seen everywhere and small bridges link up the scenic spots. Bamboo and shady trees set each other off to advantage and flowers are in full bloom. Embellished with ponds, terrace, pavilions, the cottage looks both dignified and solemn, elegant and tranquil, beautiful and bright with a strong cultural flavor.

There is a huge collection of more than 30,000 volumes of different kinds of materials and over 2000 pieces of historical relics in the Du Fu Cottage Museum.

The cottage itself is a reproduction based on what they assume to have been here previously, but don't let this spoil it for you. The history of the site contains archeological remains of the original house, as well as original foundations for pagodas uncovered during refurbishments. The gardens are the standout feature and are beautiful and well kept.

The revered Tang- dynasty poet, Du Fu (712–70) was born in Hénán, but lived in Chéngdū, in this thatched cottage, for four of his most prolific years. He wrote more than 200 poems whilst here, including one entitled 'My thatched hut was torn apart by the autumn wind'. The 10-hectare site is now part park, part museum.
