Because he lived in South Fan Chuan Villa in Chang 'an in his later years, he was later called "Du Fanchuan" and wrote "Collected Works of Fan Chuan". Du Mu's poems are famous for their seven-character quatrains, and the main content is to chant history and express emotion. His poems are handsome and natural, and cut into secular things. He achieved great success in the late Tang Dynasty. Du Mu is called "Xiao Du" to distinguish it from Du Fu and "Da Du". Also known as "Little Du Li" with Li Shangyin.

Du Muyou has twenty volumes of Collected Works of Fan Chuan, which was compiled by his nephew Pei. Later, Song people compiled Collected Works of Fan Chuan and Collected Works of Fan Chuan. The four-part series "Collected Works of Fan Chuan" consists of 20 volumes, and the other sets 1 volume and the outer set 1 volume are photocopied according to the Song Dynasty.
There is also the Song version of Su Jing Yuan Ying by Yang Shouchang in Qing Dynasty, which was copied by Yang Shoujing's calligrapher from the Japanese official library in Fengshan. These two books are rare. The Collected Works of Fan Chuan published by Shanghai Ancient Books Publishing House 1978 is a popular reading.
The school is based on the manuscripts of the four editions of Ming and Song Dynasties, the Jingsu Academy of Song Dynasty as the school, the Tang and Wenyuan as the reference, and other relevant materials for collation. Based on this, this paper holds that Du Mu's poems are the same as those quoted.
Although Du Mu was the grandson of the Prime Minister, his father died around the age of 10, and his family was not well off. Du Mu himself once said that "a young child is lonely and poor". When Du Mu was a teenager, he crusaded against the buffer region in Tang Xianzong, inspiring state affairs. After reading, he cared about the military, and later annotated thirteen articles of Sun Tzu's Art of War.
