How did Du Fu die? Guo Moruo said it was food poisoning. Is this the real reason?

I believe many people know Du Fu very well, and we will recite his ancient poems from an early age. Du Fu is a very talented and ambitious poet. In fact, Du Fu's fate is unfortunate, compared with his literary talent, but his ability to deal with people is indeed a bit lacking. After middle age, he can only rely on others to make a living. Today, History Jun will tell you the story of Du Fu ~

His character seems to be flawed, and people at that time evaluated him? Sexual arrogance, ignorance and generosity? This is obviously not a compliment. To make matters worse, he was born in troubled times and caught up with the turning point of the rise and fall of the Tang Dynasty? Because of these factors, he has been wandering around almost all his life, living without a fixed address, often starving, and even his death is related to food.

The most popular story is that Du Fu died of gluttony. Ming Taizu Miscellaneous Notes compiled by the Tang Dynasty recorded that Du Fu was trapped by floods when he drifted to Leiyang, Hunan Province, and did not eat for almost 10 days. Later, fortunately, the local county magistrate sent a boat to help and gave Du Fu some beef and white wine. It is natural for a generation of poets to die like this. In the name of Han Yu, later generations wrote a crooked poem entitled "Du Zimei's Tomb" to express their feelings about Du Fu's death:

At that time, liquor was everywhere, and now every family has beef. ?

After drinking and eating meat, why are ordinary people still not satisfied? ?

But in modern times, some scholars combined with modern medicine thought that Du Fu's death was indeed related to food, but it was not indigestion, but food poisoning. Considering the hot weather at that time, there was no refrigeration technology in the old society. Beef is easy to deteriorate and rot, thus producing toxins. The liquor drunk into the body promoted the circulation of toxins, and Du Fu was already weak, leading to food poisoning and death.
