In particular, the works before and after the Anshi Rebellion, such as Three Officials Farewells and Three Farewells, Two Roads, Military Vehicle Shop, Northern Expedition, and Singing 500 Words from Beijing to Fengxian, relate personal feelings to major historical events.
The word "poetic history" was used for the first time in Bai Meng's Poems of Talented Talents in the Tang Dynasty to summarize the ideological and content characteristics of Du Fu's poems, but it mainly focused on "detailed notes". Song people expounded the concept of "poetic history" from different angles. They often ignore the artistic features of poetry, but they all notice that Du Fu's poems are related to major historical events. Du Fu provided us with a true picture of the history of the Tang Dynasty with his broad ideological content and historical recording techniques different from those of historical books. He used his unique brushwork and his unique breadth and depth to supplement the shortcomings of history. As Hao Jing, a scholar in the Ming Dynasty, said, "The past was called the history of poetry, so that it was not necessarily so soft for Banma to remember."
