On the list of top ten talents, the tenth and ninth places are enough to amaze Wang Mang.
He is looking forward to the next ranking.
Just as Wang Mang was pondering, the golden light flashed in the air, and the ranking behind him also came out
: "The eighth place on the list of top ten talents - Du Fu (Tang Dynasty)
!" "Reward: 300,000 bows and crossbows!"
When seven-character poetry became the highest form of classical poetry, Du Fu sat on the highest temple of near-physical poetry with his peerless genius who was good at dancing in shackles.
Du Fu's genius is the most easily overlooked genius, and few people can reach such heights in the field of metrical poetry with hard work.
Du Fu Zimei, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, was revered as a "poet saint" by later generations. His poems are depressed and frustrated, worrying about the country and the people, and are known as "poetry history".
Du Fu created famous works such as "Spring Hope", "Northern Expedition", "Three Officials" and "Three Farewells". In 759, Du Fu abandoned his official position and entered Sichuan, although he escaped the war and lived a relatively stable life, he still cared about the common people and had national affairs in mind.
Although Du Fu is a realist poet, he also has a wild and uninhibited side, and it is not difficult to see Du Fu's heroic spirit from his famous work "Song of the Eight Immortals in Drinking".
The core of Du Fu's thought is the Confucian idea of benevolence, and he has the grand ambition of "to the monarch and the gentleman, and then to make the customs pure".
Although Du Fu's reputation was not prominent during his lifetime, his fame spread far and wide, and he had a profound impact on both his own literature and his literature. A total of about 1,500 of his poems have been preserved, most of which are collected in the "Du Gongbu Collection".
"I didn't expect Du Fu to only be in eighth place!" Wang Mang looked at the list, a little surprised.

Traveling thousands of miles, reading thousands of books, and collecting rich historical materials, many historians in later generations were not inferior to him. But to write a "swan song of historians, no rhyme and separation", you can't do it without outstanding talent.
When Sima Qian was tortured by the palace, he wanted to die a shameful death. It was not that he had to write history, but he clearly knew that only his own genius could complete a once-in-a-lifetime masterpiece of historiography.
