Du Fu Thatched Cottage is located on Qinghua Road in Qingyang District. It was the residence built by the great Tang Dynasty poet Du Fu to avoid the 'An Lushan Rebellion'. With the help of friends, he chose the elegant environment of Huanhua Creek to construct a thatched cottage, where he stayed for four years and wrote more than 240 popular poems, such as 'A Song of a Cottage Destroyed by Autumn Winds', 'Sad Parting', 'Sick Orange', 'Withered Palms', and other famous works.

Recently, during my revisit to the Du Fu Thatched Cottage, I discovered a highly distinctive 'Thatched Cottage Wood Art Gallery' near its north gate. Through the physical exhibits, photographs, and descriptions displayed in the gallery, I gained a clearer understanding: wood art encompasses wooden architecture, furniture, and carvings. I meticulously admired the traditional Chinese furniture and the various types of wood used, the exquisite woodwork, the small yet beautiful wooden architectural models, the fine wood carving artworks, and the wood art tools, both familiar and previously unseen... After the visit, I felt immensely enriched: Not only did I acquire knowledge about wood art, but I also enhanced my cultural appreciation for it!
