Du Fu's poetry has a variety of styles in style. Yuan Zhen commented on Du Fu: "As for beauty, it is the so-called Shangbo." Coquettish, should go to Shen and Song Dynasties, win over Su and Li in words, swallow up Cao and Liu in anger, hide their faces and Xie's aloofness, mix Xu and Yu's flowing and graceful, all the ancient and modern styles, and combine everyone's unique specialties. . ?Qin Guan also had a similar view: ?The beauty of Du Zi has a superb style, a very heroic spirit, a dilute interest, a handsome and clean posture, and a beautiful appearance, which is beyond the reach of other schools. However, without gathering the strengths of all the families, the Du family cannot achieve this alone. ?For example, Du Fu also had a wild and uninhibited side. From his famous work "Song of the Eight Immortals in Drinking", we can see Du Fu's heroic spirit. The mainstream view is that Du Fu's poetry has a melancholy style, concise language, rigorous meter, exquisite craftsmanship, sincere feelings, plain and elegant conversation, profound description, delicate and touching, and vivid image. ?It is his creative style to express good sentences for the sake of human nature, but to say nothing that is not surprising. As for the unique narrative style and argumentative style of Du Shi, some scholars believe that it was influenced by "The Book of Songs Xiaoya", and the generous style of his elegies is similar to "Li Sao". Some scholars also believe that Du's poems have the traditional spirit of benevolent political thought and the spirit of Sima Qian's actual records. There is also a view that Du Fu's poems have a "humanitarian spirit". Han Yu, a great writer in the Tang Dynasty, once compared Du Fu and Li Bai: "Li and Du's articles are as bright as ever." Wang Anshi commended Du Shi's "Chou Yan", which has thousands of sizes and shapes, but none of them can be found for his achievements. Volume 7 of Chen Shan's "New Words on Men Liao": Lao Du's poems should be regarded as the "Six Classics" among poems, while other people's poems are like those of other scholars. Volume 1 of Jiang Shiquan's Collected Works of Zhongyatang, "Preface to the Collection of Detailed Notes on Du's Poems", is also known as "Du's Poems", and is also known as the "Book of Four Sons" among the poems. ?

Du Fu In terms of the content of his poems, most of his works reflected the social situation at that time, with a wide range of themes and far-reaching implications, especially describing the sufferings of the people. They mostly expressed his compassion for the people, his love for things, and his concern for the country and the people. Du's poems are known as the history of poetry. This kind of saying was first seen in the late Tang Dynasty. "Du met with difficulties in Lushan and fled to Yong, Long, and Shu. He wrote all the poems and deduced them into hiding, and almost nothing was left behind, so it was called the history of poetry." By the Song Dynasty, the conclusion was reached, but the meaning of the history of poetry has its own interpretation. Some people annotate Du's poems with historical events, thinking that Du's poems are documentary poems that can supplement history and prove history, so they are called poetic history. This view only emphasizes the truth and falsehood of historical events, and underestimates the emotional characteristics of poetry. Some people think that Du Fu's historical knowledge and rigorous writing style are comparable to those of the Han Dynasty historian Sima Qian. Poetry can be used to comment on people and events, and it can be said that the beauty is not false and the evil is not hidden, so it is called the history of poetry. This is advisable. Another theory is that the reason why Du Fu's poems are called "History of Poetry" is because they are compassionate and sad, and this view is also advisable to a certain extent. But there are also those who don't like Du Fu's poems. Yang Yi doesn't like Du Fu. Liu Fang's "Zhongshan Poetry Talk" says: "Yang Danian doesn't like Du Gongbu's poems, so he calls him a village man." ?
Du Fu’s Character Evaluation
"Selected Poems of Du Gongbu"
The poet works with one word, and the world knows it, but Lao Du's changes and openings are endlessly surprising and almost impossible to trace. For example, there are Bashu in the mountains and rivers, and the buildings are from Qiliang, thousands of miles away, hundreds of years up and down, only between the two words "you" and "zizi", and absorb the spirit of the mountains and rivers, look down on the past and present, all can be seen in Beyond words. The white walls of the Tengwang Pavilion are like the color of bamboo, and the empty pavilion has the sound of pine trees. If the words "you" and "zi" are not used, there are only eight words left. It can be used for any pavilion without the need for Tengwang. All of these are so exquisitely crafted that they are beyond the reach of manpower. However, this old man is alone and graceful and carefree. It is natural and there is no trace of the use of force. Nowadays, people mostly take the words that have already been used, imitate them, and use them in a narrow and narrow way, which is a dead end. They don't know how to understand the meaning and the situation, and all the words can be used in the meaning of the words.
