Born in Gong County, Henan, originally from Xiangyang, Hubei. ?[2-3]?In order to distinguish them from the other two poets Li Shangyin and Du Mu, known as "Little Li Du", Du Fu and Li Bai are collectively known as "Big Li Du", and Du Fu is often called "Old Du". ?[2]?

When Du Fu was a boy, he traveled to Wuyue and Qi and Zhao successively, during which time he went to Luoyang to fail in the examination. After the age of thirty-five, he first took the examination in Chang'an and failed; later he presented gifts to the emperor and nobles. Unable to succeed in officialdom, he witnessed the extravagance and social crisis of the upper class society in the Tang Dynasty. In the fourteenth year of Tianbao (755), the Anshi Rebellion broke out and Tongguan fell. Du Fu traveled to many places. In the second year of Qianyuan (759), Du Fu abandoned his official position and went to Sichuan. Although he escaped the war and lived a relatively stable life, he still cared about the common people and national affairs. Du Fu created famous works such as "Ascend the High", "Spring Look", "Northern Expedition", "Three Officials" and "Three Farewells". Although Du Fu is a realist poet, he also has a wild and uninhibited side. It is not difficult to see Du Fu's heroic spirit from his famous work "Song of the Eight Immortals in Drinking".

The core of Du Fu's thoughts is the thought of benevolent government. He has the grand ambition of "bringing the emperors Yao and Shun to the throne, and then making the customs pure." Although Du Fu was not well-known during his lifetime, he later became famous and had a profound impact on both Chinese and Japanese literature. About 1,500 poems by Du Fu have been preserved, most of which are collected in "Du Gongbu Collection". ?[4]?

In the winter of the fifth year of the Dali calendar (770), he died of illness at the age of fifty-nine. Du Fu had a profound influence on Chinese classical poetry. He was honored as the "Sage of Poetry" by later generations, and his poems were called the "History of Poetry". Later generations called him Du Shiyi and Du Gongbu, and also called him Du Shaoling and Du Caotang.
