Judging from Du Fu's personality, he is a person who cares about the country and the people, hurts himself and cares about the world. So at that time, Du Fu really wanted to use his talents to make a career for the people in officialdom. Unfortunately, after all, no one appreciated his talent, and in the end he was down and out. But Du Fu really cares about current events. Some of his poems are about the real life of the poor at that time, reflecting the hard life of the lower classes in the Tang Dynasty. Even Du Fu compared the dignitaries with the poor: the wine in Zhumen stinks, and the bones on the road freeze to death. As far as the present situation is concerned, Du Fu's character is cynical. But many of his poems are cynical and attack the hard life at that time.
Judging from the poems written by Du Fu. Du Fu wrote more than 1500 poems in his life. A large part of them expressed sympathy for the people, exposure to real life, dissatisfaction with life and concern about poverty. Du Fu's poems are also called the history of poetry, because many of his poems reflect the life at that time, such as his three officials and three parting. His poems are of great significance to our later generations to study the life in the middle and late Tang Dynasty. Moreover, when we were in high school, we would definitely learn one of his poems, "The Hut was Blown by the Autumn Wind", which was widely circulated in summer and made the poor in the world happy!
So Du Fu is called a poet. Although his poems are not as romantic, magnificent and imaginative as Li Bai's, Du Fu is a poet who cares about the country and the people. He is a living poem.
