杜诗为何不提颜真卿

Why did DU Fu not Mention YAN Zhen-qing in his Poems

杜甫(712—770年)与颜真卿(709—785年)为同时代的人,年龄相仿,也有同处长安的经历,但现存典籍中却不见有关他们交往的记载。杜诗号称"诗史",却无片言只语言及颜真卿,其缘故一直是学界的一个疑点。杜甫在疏救房琯之前,与颜真卿是否有过接触,由于史料的缺乏,目前难以得知,但可以肯定的是,颜真卿对房琯集团的弹劾,参与了颠覆房琯集团的政治斗争,间接导致了杜甫政治生命的结束,这就难免使杜、颜二人之间产生一种微妙的政治冲突和情感隔阂。而杜甫与房琯为忘形之交,他终生都对房琯保持着很深的感情。既如此,杜诗只字不提颜真卿也就是很自然的事了。

DU Fu（712—770） and YAN Zhen-qing（709—785） were peers,similar in age and having similar experience in Chang＇an at the same time,while there isn＇t a word about their association neither in the old scriptures nor in DU Fu＇s poems,honored as ＂poetic history＂,and the reason of which has always been a mystery in academic circle.Because of the lack of historical materials,it＇s difficult to know whether DU Fu had touched with YAN Zhen-qing before he saved FANG Guan,but it＇s definite that YAN Zhen-qing impeached the FANG Guan group and took part in the political struggle,which ended DU Fu＇s political career indirectly.Thus,a subtle political conflict and emotional estrangement came into being between them.DU Fu and Fang Guan were close friends,towards whom DU Fu kept a deep emotion all his life,so it is natural that there wasn＇t a word mentioning YAN Zhen-qing in DU Fu＇s poems.
