Du Fu's realistic creative spirit, from Bai Juyi to later, has permeated into the creations of Pi Rixiu, Cao Ye, Nie Nie, Du Gouhe and others in the late Tang Dynasty, forming a school of realistic poetry, which radiated brilliance in the poetry circles in the late Tang Dynasty. In addition, the artistic expression of Du Fu's poems also had a far-reaching influence on the poets in the Tang Dynasty. For example, Han Yu and Li Shangyin were influenced by Du Fu's creative art from different aspects and established their own styles.

After the Tang Dynasty, Du Fu's influence became more and more extensive and in-depth with the growth of time. There were Huang Tingjian and Chen Shidao in the Song Dynasty. Following Du Fu's fantastic side, he formed "Jiangxi Poetry School". Another example is Wang Anshi, Lu You, Wen Tianxiang and Yuan Haowen in Jin Dynasty, Li Luoyang in Ming Dynasty, Du Jun, Qu Dajun and Shen Deqian in Qing Dynasty. , are influenced by Du Fu in different ways and under different circumstances. Of course, some poets (such as Lu You, etc. ) You can learn the benefits of Du Fu, while others only inherit or even distort it superficially.

Du Fu's poems have aroused people's love throughout the ages, not only because of art, but also because of thought. For example, Lu You once said in a poem, "Being a poet in the future makes me feel a little empty." After Wen Tianxiang was captured, he read Du Fu's poems every day in Yanjing Prison, and collected five sentences from Du Fu's poems. He said, "Zimei was the first person to speak for me." The words of national heroes strongly prove the lofty ideological connotation of Du Fu's poems.
