Xidu, a professor, poet and critic of the Department of Chinese of Tsinghua University, came to Wuhou Ci and felt very kind, "This is my first time to participate in the Chengdu International Poetry Week, and the second time to come to the Wuhou Ci Museum. "Where to find the ancestral hall of the Prime Minister, Outside Jinguan City, Persensen." Xidu sighed as he read the poem written by Du Fu to Wuhou Ancestral Hall that Zhuge Liang's image condensed the excellent qualities of Chinese, so when he came to Chengdu, Wuhou Ancestral Hall and Du Fu Caotang were must-visit places. Seeing that there are poets from China and abroad touring together, Xidu also feels cordial, he believes that the communication between poets is very harmonious, do not need too much expression, poetry is the common language of everyone.

As a chengdu native, a member of the Chinese Writers Association, a member of the Sichuan Provincial Writers Association, and a poet, he is more concerned and caring for other poets along the way, and he believes that the culture of the Three Kingdoms has an indispensable position in Chinese culture, "This time I saw that many foreign poets have taken the initiative to choose to come to Wuhou Temple and feel the culture of the Three Kingdoms, and I feel very moved." The old house believes that poets today need to closely follow Li Du's poetry when creating poetry, "from Du Fu's modernist approach, we can learn the creative method of closely following the times, and from Li Bai's romanticism, we can also learn the appeal of poetry." As a poet who has participated in the Chengdu International Poetry Week five times, Lao House believes that the poetry city built by Chengdu can promote cultural development, and its cultural development can also promote economic development, which is a thing worth promoting.
"Everyone who comes here seems to be able to collide with time, history, and cultural relics, and the culture of the three countries has a long history." Mao Zi, a poet who has won awards such as the Yangtze River Poetry Award, the Wen Yiduo Poetry Award, the October Literature Award, and the Chizi Poetry Award, said that the Chengdu International Poetry Week is a particularly open and relaxed poetry event, and through years of continuous construction, it can make the Poetry Week an important business card handed to the world by Chengdu.
Irina (Ирина Чуднова) is a Russian poet, essayist, and translator. When she came to Wuhou Temple, she and the Russian poet Anna were very happy, constantly watching and taking pictures of the stone lions on the stone fence of Wuhou Temple, "These stones have traces of time, and we feel that it is time that can be touched." Irina said that last year, she participated in the Chengdu International Poetry Week, but because of the epidemic, she did not visit the places of interest and monuments in Chengdu, and in her view, many cities in China have unique charm, the important thing is the poet's walking, "Wuhou Temple is not large, but the scenery is unique, I am very happy to come here for the second time, I hope it is not the last time." ”
For poetry and foreign culture, Irina's "teacher" is Li Bai, "If you mention Chinese poetry in Russia, it will immediately remind people of Li Bai and Du Fu, and there are many translations of Li Du's poetry in Russia, and the poetry is very beautiful." Poetry itself is also the soul of the nation, the way we Russians come into contact with Chinese culture. She said that when she first came to China to study in 1993, she thought it was difficult to Chinese, but the first poem she studied was Li Bai's "Quiet Night Thoughts", "Through this poem, I learned a lot of Chinese, so Li Bai has a special emotion for me." ”
