According to Baidu Library, Du Shaofu is not Du Fu, but Shaofu is the name of the county commandant in Tang Dynasty. When he left the viceroy and went to Shu for his post, he sent a friend named Du. His friend's surname was Du, and his official position was less, so he called it. Du Fu is a beautiful poet named Shaoling Yelao, a great realistic poet in the Tang Dynasty, and is also called "Du Li" with Li Bai. Therefore, Du Fu and Du Shaofu are not the same person.
The core of Du Fu's thought is benevolent government, and he has the great ambition of "making the monarch Yao and Shun superior and then making the customs pure". Although Du Fu was not famous during his lifetime, his fame spread far and wide, which had a far-reaching impact on China literature and Japanese literature. About 65,438+0,500 poems of Du Fu have been preserved, most of which are collected by Du Gongbu.
He died in the winter of the fifth year of Dali (770) at the age of 59. Du Fu's influence on China's classical poetry is far-reaching, and he is called "Poetic Sage" by later immortals, and his poems are called "Poetic History". Later generations called him Du Shiyi and Du Gongbu, and also called him Du Shaoling and Du Caotang.
