A Brief Introduction to the Author of Hope in Spring-Chinese for Grade 8 in Junior Middle School! The author of Hope in Spring is Du Fu. Du Fu (7 12-770) is beautiful, and his real name is Shaoling Yelao. He was born in Gongxian County (now gongyi city). The great realistic poet of the Tang Dynasty in China is known as the "sage of poetry", who is good at classical and rhythmic poetry, with diverse styles and mainly depressed. He wrote 1400 poems in his life. His poems show the historical process from prosperity to decline in the Tang Dynasty, which is called "the history of poetry". Du Gongbu has been handed down from generation to generation. Du Fu wrote such famous works as Spring Hope, Northern Expedition, Three Officials and Three Farewells. In the second year of Gan Yuan (759), Du Fu abandoned his official position and went to Sichuan. Although he fled the war and lived a relatively stable life, he still cared about the whole life and the affairs of the country. Although Du Fu is a realistic poet, he also has a wild and unruly side. It is not difficult to see Du Fu's heroism and dry clouds from his masterpiece Song of Drinking Eight Immortals.
