Du Fu (7 12 February 12 ~ 770), a famous realistic poet in the Tang Dynasty, was also called "Du Li" with Li Bai. Born in Gongxian County, Henan Province, his ancestral home is Xiangyang, Hubei Province. In order to distinguish Li Shangyin and Du Mu from "Little Du Li", Du Fu and Li Bai are also called "Big Du Li".
Du Fu's representative poems are: Looking at Yue, Climbing to the Top, Looking at Spring, Farewell to Three Places, Autumn Wind Breaking the Cottage, Shihao Official, New Official and Tongguan Official.
Du Fu's ambition is to "respect the monarch and then change the customs". 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.
Du Fu's Poetic Achievements
Du Fu's poem "There are Sixty Volumes" has long been lost. In the second year of Baoyuan in the Northern Song Dynasty (1039), Wang Zhu collected 1405 volumes and compiled them into 18 volumes, which was named "Du Gongbu Collection". Qian edited The Collection of Du Gongbu. Yang Lun said: "Since the Six Dynasties, Yuefu imitated plagiarism, and Chen Xiangyin was the most disgusting. When Zi Mei came out, she felt what she felt at that time. When she went to Benjamin, she was in trouble. The people there were very poor. She asked questions at random, trying to get rid of the stereotypes of her predecessors.
