Du Fu is a talented poet, and he also bears a heavy sense of responsibility for the fate of the country and the nation. Du Fu was a patriotic man who lost his will, so he used poetry to describe the face of the times and inner sorrow. Du Fu is also an indomitable strong man who has gone through hardships.
His poetry is a mirror of the times, which truly reflects the bitter years of feudal society from prosperity to decline, with profound content and gloomy style. From the object of expression of poetry to artistic methods, from genre to rhetoric, it has comprehensively inherited and developed the "heritage" of predecessors, and is a master in the history of classical poetry.
At the same time, his groundbreaking creation not only marked a major turning point in the content and style of Tang poetry, but also had a far-reaching impact on the development of poetry from the middle Tang Dynasty to the Song Dynasty.

The characteristics of Du Fu's poems:
Du Fu was a great realistic poet in Tang Dynasty, and was honored as a poet saint by later generations. He is also called Gemini with Li Bai. Du Fu's family background was very prominent in his early years, and then his family background declined, which coincided with the decline of national strength in the Tang Dynasty. This is the emotional accumulation of his creation. Therefore, his poems are in sharp contrast with Li Baicheng in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. His poems are vigorous and sad, full of tragic feelings of worrying about the country and the people.
The core of his thought is Confucianism. He has a great ambition of "making the monarch Yao and Shun superior first, and then making the customs pure". He loves life, people and the great rivers and mountains of the motherland. He hated evil, criticized and exposed the corruption of the imperial court and the dark phenomenon in social life. Words are not as romantic and beautiful as Li Bai's, and most of them feel vigorous and powerful.
Du Fu is good at using many systems of classical poetry and creatively developing them. He is the pioneer of the new Yuefu poetry style. His Yuefu poems contributed to the development of the new Yuefu movement in the middle Tang Dynasty.
His "May 7th" ancient novel, which is also a history of poetry, begins to narrate and focus on the whole story, marking the high achievement of China's poetry art. Du Fu also showed extraordinary creativity in the May 7th law, and accumulated complete artistic experience in the aspects of temperament, antithesis and refining words and sentences, which made this genre reach a fully mature stage. Du Gongbu has been handed down from generation to generation.
