Du was born in a family of "serving Confucianism and guarding officials" for generations, and his family background was profound, which also laid a solid foundation for his poetry creation. Du Fu lived in the historical stage from prosperity to decline in the Tang Dynasty. The turmoil of the times, social chaos and people's suffering have had a great influence on his poetic style.
Du Fu was in the prosperous Tang Dynasty in his early days. As an outstanding representative of poets in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, his early works mainly showed his ideal ambition and expected life path, but also had a strong atmosphere and grand momentum in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Due to the influence of Du Fu's early family environment and prosperous Tang culture, Du Fu in this period had the optimism, self-confidence and enterprising spirit of young people.
For example, Du Fu's "Looking at Yue" shows his determination to serve the country and conquer the imperial court, and also shows the determination of young people in the prosperous Tang Dynasty to forge ahead. "Painted Eagle" "How to kill birds, send blood to disperse weeds". It reflects the blood of young people in the prosperous Tang Dynasty and the weather in the north and south of the river.
The darkness of politics and the corruption of bureaucratic groups frustrated Du Fu's official career. At this time, the poet's ideal could not be realized, and his life was poor, which enabled him to accept the reality and understand the society, and the subsequent "An Shi Rebellion" made the poet closer to the life of the bottom people. His poems in this period told the turmoil of the country and the darkness of society in the war; He also expressed his concern for the fate of the country and sympathy for the sufferings of the people, forming a gloomy poetic style.
"Car wandering, Ma Xiaoxiao, each of you has a bow and an arrow barrel on your belt" in "Military Vehicle Shop" shows that the country is constantly in war, the situation is anxious and the society is in turmoil. "They run and cry with you, they pull your sleeve, and their sad voices float to the clouds" shows the influence of continuous battles on people's lives. "Go to the blue sea, look at the shore and look at the abandoned bones" shows Du Fu's sympathy for people's livelihood and his concern for the fate of the country.
"Your land is rich, and there are many roads to open up the frontier" in the frontier fortress vividly expresses Du Fu's tragic expression of sympathy for the people and their exploitation and oppression.
