First of all, briefly introduce Du Fu.
Du Fu had a profound influence on China's classical poetry, and was called "Poet Saint" by later generations. His poems reflect the social contradictions and people's sufferings at that time, record the historical changes from prosperity to decline in the Tang Dynasty, and express the lofty Confucian spirit of benevolence and strong sense of hardship, so they are known as "the history of poetry".
The core of Du Fu's thought is benevolent government, and he has the great ambition 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. ?
He died in the winter of the fifth year of Dali (770) at the age of 59. Du Fu's influence on China's classical poetry is far-reaching, and he is called "Poetic Sage" by later immortals, and his poems are called "Poetic History". Later generations called him Du Shiyi and Du Gongbu, and also called him Du Shaoling and Du Caotang.
Second, the status of poetry
Du Fu's middle-aged poems are called "the history of poetry" because of his gloomy poetic style and feelings of worrying about the country and the people. His poems are good at antique and rhythmic poems, and have various styles. He accurately summed up his work style with the words "depressed and frustrated", mainly focusing on depression.
The influence of poetry and the achievements of metrical poetry
First, the influence of poetry.
Du Fu is good at using many systems of classical poetry and creatively developing them. Du Fu's thought of paying attention to people's livelihood and his achievements in rhythmic poetry directly influenced the creation of new Yuefu by Yuan Zhen, Bai Juyi and others in the middle Tang Dynasty.
He is the pioneer of the new Yuefu poetry style. His Yuefu poems contributed to the development of the new Yuefu movement in the middle Tang Dynasty. His "May 7th" ancient novel, which is also a history of poetry, begins to narrate and focuses on the whole story, marking the high achievement of China's poetic art..
The Song Dynasty, full of social contradictions, was the most prosperous time to learn from Du Fu, and the Jiangxi Poetry School with Du Fu as the Sect appeared. Gu and others in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties also had an obvious tendency to learn from Du Fu and Fu. They reflected the anti-Qing struggle at that time with metrical poems and were impassioned.
Second, the achievements of law poetry
Rhyme plays an extremely important role in Du Fu's poems. The achievement of Du Fu's metrical poems lies in expanding the scope of expression of metrical poems. He not only writes about entertainment, nostalgia, travel, feasts and landscapes with Chang Song poems, but also writes about current events with Chang Song poems.
It is difficult to write current affairs with metrical poems, but Du Fu can use them freely. Du Fu writes metrical poems freely, changes as much as he can, conforms to the law without seeing the shackles of metrical poems, and is in neat opposition without seeing the traces of antithesis.
