The Influence of Du Fu's Life on His Works

Du Fu grew up in a family with a literary tradition of "serving Confucianism and guarding officials". Du Fu's grandfather Du Fu was a famous poet in the post-Wu period and a member of the official banquet. His father, Du Xian, served as Sima of Yanzhou and magistrate of Fengtian County.

Influence on works: The most striking feature of Du Fu's poems is the close combination of social reality and personal life, and the perfect unity of ideological content and artistic form. Du Fu's poems profoundly reflect the social panorama of more than 20 years before and after the An Shi Rebellion in Tang Dynasty, vividly record his life journey, and reach the highest artistic achievement of Tang Dynasty's poetry. His poems can make readers "know the person" and "discuss the world" and play the role of "enlightening, observing, gathering people and complaining".

Du Fu was hungry and cold, and always had the ambition to help the world, and he was poor but not tired of the world. In terms of poetic art, it combines the achievements of classical poetry and innovates and develops it, which has a wide influence on later poets.
