Du Fu, in a nice word, called himself Shaoling Night Old. Du Fu's influence on China's classical poetry is far-reaching, and he is called "the sage of poetry" by later generations, and his poems are called "the history of poetry". Later generations called him Du Shiyi and Du Gongbu, and also called him Du Shaoling and Du Caotang. Du Fu and Li Bai are collectively called "Du Li".
On the one hand, his poems often mention important historical events, idioms and allusions. On the other hand, Du Fu's poems provide a broader, more concrete and more vivid picture of life than events. Some of Du Fu's poems can also make up for the loss of history. For example, in "Three Exquisites", the history of killing Yuzhou and Kaizhou is written, but there is no historical record.
Brief introduction of du fu
Du Fu (7 12-770), with beautiful words, is a great realistic poet in the Tang Dynasty, and is also called "Du Li" with Li Bai. Originally from Xiangyang, Hubei Province, he moved to Gongxian County, Henan Province. In order to distinguish Li Shangyin, Du Mu and Xiao Du Li, Du Fu and Li Bai are also called Da Du Li, and Du Fu is often called Lao Du.
The core of Du Fu's thought is the Confucian thought of benevolent government, and he has the great wish of "making the monarch Yao and Shun superior, and then making the customs pure". Although Du Fu was not famous during his lifetime, his fame spread far and wide, which had a far-reaching impact on China literature and Japanese literature. About 65,438+0,500 poems of Du Fu have been preserved, most of which are collected by Du Gongbu.
