Folding family background
Du Fu was born in the Du family in Jingzhao, a noble family in the north. His distant ancestor was Du Zhou, a famous cruel official of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty, and his grandfather Du Shenyan. Du Fu and Du Mu, another great poet in the Tang Dynasty, namely "Xiao Li Du", were both descendants of Du Yu, a great scholar and famous general in the Jin Dynasty. However, the two factions were far apart. Du Fu was descended from Du Dan, the second son of Du Yu, while Du Mu was descended from Du Yin, the youngest son of Du Yu. When Du Fu was a teenager, he lived a relatively stable and prosperous life due to his superior family environment. He was eager to learn since he was a child, and could compose poems at the age of seven. "At the age of seven, he is strong when he thinks about it, and he chants the phoenix with his mouth." He was also very naughty when he was a boy. "When I look back at the fifteenth year, I was still a child, and I am as strong as a yellow calf walking back. In August, pears and jujubes are ripe in front of the court, and I can climb a tree a thousand times in one day."
Folding Young Travels
When he was 19 years old in the 19th year of Kaiyuan, Du Fu traveled to Xunxia (now Linyi, Shandong). When he was twenty years old, he traveled to Wuyue for several years. In the twenty-third year of Kaiyuan (735), he returned to his hometown to participate in the "rural tribute". In the 24th year, he took the Jinshi examination in Luoyang and failed. Du Fu's father was the Sima of Yanzhou at that time, so Du Fu went to Yanzhou to visit relatives and began his tour of Qi and Zhao[3].
In April of the third year of Tianbao (744), Du Fu met Li Bai in Luoyang, who had been given gold and released by Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. The two made an appointment to travel to the Liang and Song Dynasties (today's Kaifeng and Shangqiu areas in Henan Province). After that, Du Fu went to Qizhou (today's Jinan, Shandong). Four years later, in the autumn, he went to Yanzhou to meet Li Bai. The two of them visited immortals and talked about poetry and essays together, forming a friendship of "drunk in autumn, sleeping under quilt, walking hand in hand with each other". At the end of autumn, the two shook hands and said goodbye. Du Fu ended his wandering life of "debauchery between Qi and Zhao, and his horses were quite wild" and returned to Chang'an[4].

Du Fu
Du Fu lived in the historical period when the Tang Dynasty turned from prosperity to decline. Du Fu was born in A family that has been "devoted to Confucianism and officials" for generations, and has a profound knowledge. Early works mainly expressed ideals, ambitions and expected life paths. On the other hand, it expresses his political ideal of "serving the kings, Yao and Shun, and then making customs pure." During this period, many of his works reflected the suffering of the people and political turmoil at that time, and exposed the ugly behavior of the rulers. From then on, he embarked on a life of worrying about the country and the people. and creative path. As Tang Xuanzong's politics became increasingly corrupt in his later years, his life fell into poverty and despair day by day. In the wandering life[5].
In the sixth year of Tianbao's reign, Xuanzong ordered those who were "proficient in one art" to go to Chang'an to take the exam, and Du Fu also took part in the exam. Because Li Linfu, the powerful prime minister, directed a farce of "no wild virtuous people", all the scholars who took the exam failed. Since the road to the imperial examination was unworkable, in order to realize his political ideals, Du Fu had to turn to the powerful and powerful, and gave gifts to officials, etc., but to no avail. He lived in Chang'an for ten years, traveling around to give gifts, but he was depressed, frustrated in his official career, and lived a life of poverty. "He failed to win the imperial examination and was trapped in Chang'an"[6].
In the first month of the tenth year of Tianbao, Xuanzong will hold three grand ceremonies to worship Taiqing Palace, Taimiao Temple and Heaven and Earth. Du Fu then pre-dedicated three "Great Gifts" in the winter of the ninth year of Tianbao, which was appreciated by Xuanzong and ordered to be made. In Jixian Yuan, however, he was only qualified to "participate in the selection process" and was waiting for assignment. Because the examiner was still Li Linfu, he did not get an official position.
