Read a representative passage
Du Fu Thatched Cottage Museum（成都杜甫草堂博物馆）commemorates the Tang poet Du Fu（杜甫）, who lived beside Huanhua Stream（浣花溪）for about four years after reaching Chengdu in 759. He wrote more than two hundred poems during this period, including work shaped by war, displacement, poverty, weather and ordinary domestic life. The present complex has been rebuilt and expanded repeatedly. Its halls, landscaped gardens, reconstructed thatched dwelling and literary displays form a memorial environment rather than an untouched Tang house.
