There are more than 1400 poems by Du Fu, with different styles, including beautiful poems and romantic poems, but most of them are mainly "depressed and frustrated". Du Fu's life experience is rich and colorful, from the period of "strong travel" to his death in another country. The mood and emotion of each period are slightly different, and the poetic style born of emotion is certainly not single.
Many years of traveling life before the age of 35 made his poems full of lofty sentiments and ambitions, with obvious romanticism. At this time, "Wang Yue" can be its representative. "Once you climb to the top of the mountain and peek, you will see that other mountains are short under the sky." It can be seen that the poet is ambitious for all undertakings.
However, most of Du Fu's works were completed between the ages of 35 and 59, and during this period, most of his poems had a "depressed and frustrated" style. Since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the style of Du Fu's poems has generally been described as "depressed and frustrated".
Main points:
In Du Fu's own words, "worrying about Li Yuan in poor years" is his central idea, and "seeing the truth in adversity" is his consistent spirit. He used these to ask and encourage his friends. He praised Yuan Jie and said, "Daozhou is worried about Li Shu, and his words are full of enthusiasm." He said to Yanwu, "If you are on the stage, don't love yourself when you are in danger."
He said to Pei Qiu, "Here you are, Yao Shun, Fu Gong, etc. I have long been told to die. " It is these progressive thoughts that formed Du Fu's political enthusiasm, perseverance and optimistic spirit, which made him the most political great poet in the history of our country. Of course, this is also inseparable from his life practice of being close to the people.
