Literary attraction

Sichuan's capital is composing a new chapter in developing its tourism by commemorating the ancient luminary poet Du Fu. Huang Zhiling reports in Chengdu.

Chengdu is literally writing the literary legacy of acclaimed ancient poet Du Fu in stone. Tan Jihe and his wife, Qi Hehui, visit the Du Fu Thatched Cottage Museum in Sichuan province's Chengdu every month.

Tan, who's the Sichuan Provincial Association of History's president, and Qi, who's a professor of Han Dynasty (206 BC-AD 24) and Tang Dynasty (618-907) culture, are advisers for the Chengdu municipal government's ambitious plan to erect 1,455 tablets, each with a poem by Du Fu (712-770).
