11. Service Or Reclusion: Tu Fu's Confucian Dilemma - Articles - House Of Hermits - China s greatest poet tu fu suffered the Confucian dilemma of service versus reclusionand seclusion. http://www.hermitary.com/articles/tu_fu.html

HOME Articles Book Reviews Features ARTICLES: HOUSE OF HERMITS T This central dilemma is especially relevant to the adherent of Confucianism in ancient and medieval China, with its emphasis on the scholar or "gentleman" acculturated into a lifetime of loyalty and service to the emperor and state, but also charged with a strong sense of ethics. In the Analects , Confucius writes: "What I call a great minister is one who will only serve the emperor when it can be done without infringement of the Way, and as soon as this is impossible, resigns." (11.23) "Best of all is to withdraw from one's generation; next to withdraw to another land; next to leave because of a look; next to leave because of a word." (14.39). And this: "When good governance prevails in the empire, [the scholar] is in evidence. When it is without good governance, he withdraws." (8.13) There are other such interpretive passages throughout Confucianism. But it was the compelling ethics that haunted Tu Fu, as much as his own private irresolution. Early Years After this clear embarrassment to his family, Tu Fu took a share of his wealth and began a series of travels and explorations that he described as "more than eight years of lively freedom." Afterwards he became a "temp," seeking out literary employments in the court or of a court or provincial official as he could. His Confucianism animated his keen sense of duty and obligation to support the emperor, but Tu Fu was too smart to not see the decadence and corruption of the central government. These years of dissolution taught him the pleasure of the wine cup, the beauty of poetry, and a grudging admiration of eremiticism. This latter he learned from the somewhat distorted examples of Li Po and Kao Shih, celebrants of aesthetics and cynicism.

B U R E A U O F P U B L I C S E C R E T S Tu Fu: “Thoughts While Traveling at Night” (23 Translations) A Night Abroad A light wind is rippling at the grassy shore. . . . Through the night, to my motionless tall mast, The stars lean down from open space, And the moon comes running up the river. . . . If only my art might bring me fame Flitting, flitting, what am I like But a sand-snipe in the wide, wide world! Translated by Witter Bynner (1929) A Traveller at Night Writes His Thoughts Fine grass; slight breeze from bank; High mast; alone at night in boat. Over level widening waste stars droop-flowers; Moon flows as water on vast surging stream. Fame! is it manifest by essays, poems? An official, old, sick, should rest. What do I resemble, blown by wind blown by wind? A gull on the sand between Heaven and Earth. Literal character-by-character translation by Florence Ayscough (1934) Thoughts While Traveling at Night Between two shores of tender grass, in the slight breeze, Glides this lonely high-masted boat. The stars seem to reach down to the fields, flat and wide; The moon seems to be swimming as the Great River flows.

19. The Chinese Poet, Tu Fu Biography A biography of tu fu, one of China s most revered poets, who s eloquent poetry chronicles life in China s tumultuous 8th century. http://akak.essortment.com/tufuchinesepo_rnoo.htm

The Chinese poet, Tu Fu biography A biography of Tu Fu, one of China's most revered poets, who's eloquent poetry chronicles life in China's tumultuous 8th century. Arguably, the master of this type of writing was Tu Fu. Born to a literary family in the Hunan Province of China in 712, his family’s social position assured Tu Fu a traditional Confucian education. Perhaps through intrigue, or because of his radical views, Tu Fu failed an Imperial test in 736, which, if he had passed, would have guaranteed him a civil service post and a life of relative security. After failing the test, he traveled throughout China and earned a reputation as a humanistic poet well grounded in reality. It was during this time that he met his idol, the poet Li Po, a Taoist who celebrated the virtues of love, wine, and nature. The two traveled together for a while and Tu Fu dabbled in Taoism, but was unable to balance the world he lived in with the disassociation of Taoism, and soon returned to the capital and Confucianism. Tu Fu was well regarded during the 740s, even though he held no official position, had no money, and failed a second Imperial examination. In the mid 750s he sought and attained Imperial recognition in the form of a minor appointment, married, and acquired some land.
