Du Fu's achievement is due to his ability and measurement. He happened to be born in an era when great things could be achieved. If you were born in an era, in which you should have achieved something but didn't, you are ashamed of this era; If you have the talent and measure to achieve something, but you don't do it because of the times, it is the times that are sorry for you personally. Du Fu was lucky enough to concentrate all these conditions, so he made great achievements.
China's poems, from The Book of Songs and Chu Sao to the rise of five-character poems in the Han Dynasty, experienced the rhythm of five-character poems and the germination of seven-character poems during the Qi and Liang Dynasties, and by the Tang Dynasty, various genres had developed to a considerable extent.
Du Fu's poetic style is manifested in three aspects:
First, learn from the management of predecessors with an open mind, and don't think that present people love the ancients. The narrative and realism of Du Fu's poems are obviously influenced by The Book of Songs and Han Yuefu, and his spirit of patriotism and justice is the inheritance of Qu Yuan's Lisao. It is embodied in the direct use and enlightenment of words in Chu Ci represented by Qu Fu.
Second, there are many styles of poetry. Du Fu is good at all kinds of poetry genres and can bring forth the old and bring forth the new. His five-character ancient poems are very pen-like, and fully expand the realm, from ten rhymes to fifty rhymes (such as "from Beijing to Fengxian to chant 500 words"), and then expand into a giant system of seventy rhymes (such as the Northern Expedition).
Third, you have profound skills and can write your own words. Du Fu said in "On the Value of Rivers and Mountains as Water and Tides": "There are many beautiful sentences about human nature, and the words are not surprising. Old poems are sloppy, and flowers and birds are not deeply worried in spring. " Because he pays attention to the tempering of poetic language, his poems often contain very beautiful or accurate sentences.
