First of all, because it has a comprehensive mind and ability, he is versatile, knowledgeable and has amazing advantages. He applied various poetic styles, created changes and did everything.
The second reason why it can be summarized is that it has a broad, balanced and sound talent. Du Fu lived in an era of great change from prosperity to decline in the Tang Dynasty. What he saw and experienced personally was war, displacement, sadness and hardship. He can face up to and bear the burden and reflect the suffering of the times.
There is a third and more important reason why Du Fu can epitomize, that is, he also epitomizes the realm of self-cultivation and personality, and realizes a natural and perfect integration of poet's feelings and Confucian morality. Loyalty, love and kindness, which are often shown in his poems, are natural feelings, so they always have shocking emotional power.
Du Fu closely linked being an official in the DPRK with realizing his ideal, so what is Du Fu's ideal? That is, "foolish promises, but stealing millet and deed" and "to be the best monarch, and then to make the customs pure." He said: "It is enough to cover the coffin, but this ambition is often given up." As long as I have breath, I will not give up this ideal.
Du Fu has such deep feelings not only for the country, but also for his wife and children. "Ordinary people are eager for * * *", which is really good. He said that my wife and children gathered in Fengxian. I have no power to make them live a better life, but I can only share it with them. This hungry life can alleviate my guilt for them, but as soon as I entered the door, I heard my wife crying. It turned out that his youngest son had starved to death. But what did Du Fu think in such grief? He believes that "the people are always rent-free and tax-free, their names are not official, their traces are still sour and bitter, and Shu Ren is solid." I'm a rent-free officer, so I can't be a soldier. Even if I suffer this misfortune, how can those poor people live? This is really the reason why Du Fu is great. Every good poem must have sincere feelings in it, but the most sincere feelings of ordinary people are often their own emotions. However, Du Fu's first consideration is often not the individual, but the people and the country. Wandering from Sichuan to Hunan, old and sick, living in poverty and displacement, what does he care about? There are wars and mountains to the north of this wall. How can I not cry by this railing? ."
Reading Du Fu's poems, we can see that as a poet, Du Fu has always maintained heartfelt concern and enthusiasm for the people of the whole country until a rain, a bird, a flower and a tree in nature. Although he was deaf in his left ear and half a tooth in his later years, he was ashamed to be helped in his life, but in his poems, he always lived with an immortal heart.
Wang Anshi, a politician in the Northern Song Dynasty, mentioned his own painting: "So when you see a public painting, you will cry again. You are too small to push the public, and you are willing to go from public to death." Wen Tianxiang, a famous national hero, collected 200 quatrains from Du Fu's poems in prison, saying that Du Fu had said everything he wanted to say. It can also be seen that the ever-changing emotional power in Du Fu's poems has played a great role in our national spirit and patriotic tradition.
