2. How does Du Fu’s poetry reflect Du Fu’s personality?
The mind that takes the world as one’s own responsibility and the sincere heart for all the people in the world.
The more than 1,400 poems Du Fu left us recorded the historical events, reflected the people’s living conditions, and expressed their own voices; people also got to know Du Fu and saw him from these poems. The immortal value of poetry, and the spirit running through it is deeply felt.
This is the mentality of taking the world as one's own responsibility and the sincerity to the people of the world, which is the fulfillment of social responsibilities and ideals. This spirit, which is Du Fu's personality spirit, is a huge force and has become an important aspect of Du Fu's spiritual legacy.
Extended information:
In the formation of personality, innate temperament is the foundation that cannot be ignored, and the acquired environment is the decisive factor. The formation of Du Fu's personality and spirit is deeply related to his family background. This is mainly reflected in three aspects: the influence of Confucianism, poetic tradition and personal childhood experiences.
He has been educated and influenced by Confucianism since he was a child. He has a deep understanding and ability to practice the awareness of danger, loyalty and forgiveness, benevolence and compassion advocated by Confucius and Mencius. Desire and strong concern for the destiny of the country and the nation are also intrinsically linked to its Confucian concepts.
While receiving Confucian education, Du Fu was also deeply influenced by his family's poetry tradition. His grandfather Du Shenyan was well-known for his literary talent at the time. When he was young, he was as famous as Li Qiao, Cui Rong, and Su Weiwei, and was called the "Four Friends of Articles." Contribute.

3. How does Du Fu’s poetry reflect Du Fu’s personality
What is expressed in Du Fu’s poetry The charm of personality
In the splendid artistic treasure house of ancient Chinese culture, Tang poetry, like Song lyrics, Yuan operas, and Ming and Qing novels, is highly praised by future generations. It is like the stars in the beautiful sky, shining with a refreshing brilliance; and like spring orchids and autumn chrysanthemums, decorating the mountains and rivers of the motherland.
Among them, the two most eye-catching stars are Li Bai and Du Fu. They have always been regarded as the two peaks in the world of Tang poetry. Guo Moruo commented that Li Bai and Du Fu were the "Gemini Constellations in the history of Chinese poetry", which is indeed a true comment. Li Bai is far away from Qu Sao, and Du Fu is far away from "The Book of Songs"; one is bold and elegant, the other is melancholy and frustrated ("Jin Diao Fu Biao"), one is the Taishan of romanticism, and the other is the giant of realism. In comparison, Du Fu's poems are closer to real life, pay more attention to people's livelihood, and better reflect the spirit of the times. Therefore, they attract me the most and move me the most.
Du Fu lived in an era when the Tang Dynasty rapidly transitioned from prosperity to decline. He once said that he "proclaimed that he was quite brave and stood on the important road"
("Giving Wei Zuocheng Two Zhangs" The extravagant hope of "Twelve Rhymes"), and the sorrow and hardship of "In the morning, you will be a rich man, and in the evening, you will follow the fat horse dust" ("Twenty-Two Rhymes for Wei Zuocheng"). Due to the bumpy official career, the chaos of war, and the real life of hunger and displacement, Gradually, he had a deep experience of the suffering of the times, the injustice of society, the suffering of the people, and the misfortune of his family and country. In the more than ten years from the eve of the Anshi Rebellion to the beginning of the Dali Dynasty, when poets in the prosperous Tang Dynasty were generally silent, Du Fu was the mainstay, illuminating the entire poetry world with his own brilliance. His poems broadly reflected the spiritual outlook of the Tang Dynasty during its rise and decline. He wrote everything he saw, heard, thought, and felt in his poems, which greatly expanded the subject matter of his poems. He is a great poet who carries forward the past and opens up the future. Later generations called Du Fu "the master of all things", called his poems "the history of poetry", and praised him as the "sage of poetry". He is well deserved.
I believe that a poet’s distinctive personality and personality can be seen from his poetry creation. Because, theoretically speaking, "literature reflects social life through images", which is the fundamental characteristic of literature. This fundamental feature tells us that literature is a writer’s image reflection of social life. Different writers have different personal circumstances, different life experiences, different breadth and depth of social life they participate in, and different levels of literary literacy. They have different grasps of the spirit of the times. Depending on the level of ability, each person's "reflection" is different. This "reflection" is subjective and will be marked by the writer's distinctive personality.
"Poetry is where the ambition is, the ambition is in the heart, and the speech is poetry. The emotion is moved in the heart and is reflected in the words. When words are not enough, they sigh, and when they sigh that they are not enough, they sing forever. If you don't know how to dance with your hands, you won't be able to dance with your feet." ("Mao Shi Zhengyi") This passage is generally abbreviated as "poetry expresses ambition" and "poetry is related to emotion". Poetry creation can be regarded as the embodiment of the poet's "ambition" and "emotion". From this, we can explore Du Fu's personality characteristics and behavior from his poetry creation, and then appreciate the charm of his personality.
There is a basic principle of literary criticism - to know people and judge the world. If you really want to study Du Fu, it is necessary to study Du Fu's life. Let's take a look at his life trajectory.
Du Fu’s life can be divided into four periods:
1. The period of study and grand travel (before the age of 35)
Du Fu was precociously intelligent, and it is said that he was seven years old. He can write poems at the age of 10. The poem "Zhuang You" says: "Thinking about it at the age of seven is strong, and chanting the phoenix with the mouth", "In the past fourteen or fifteen years, I went to the calligraphy and ink field." At the age of twenty, he ended his study life and began his ten-year "grand tour" of going east to Suzhou, traveling south to Yanxi, debauching Qi and Zhao, and riding wild horses.
2. The period of being trapped in Chang'an (35-44 years old)
Du Fu came to Chang'an at the age of thirty-five, with the idea of ??"delivering to the emperors Yao and Shun, and then making the customs pure" "Gift" Wei Zuocheng's political ambitions were "The Twenty-Two Rhymes of Wei Zuocheng"), hoping to ascend to the position of prime minister through the imperial examination. But the treacherous officials were in power, and they stayed there for ten years only to encounter obstacles again and again. In order to survive and seek official positions, life became increasingly impoverished. After ten years of waiting in Chang'an, he found a small official to guard the arsenal.
3. The period of being trapped by thieves and serving as an official (45-47 years old)
In 755 AD, the Anshi Rebellion broke out. Du Fu first fled to northern Shaanxi, and then was betrayed by Anshi. The military prisoners were released from Chang'an. Later
4. Poems about nobility
1. It’s not that chrysanthemums are preferred among flowers, but that there will be no flowers after all.
("Chrysanthemum" by Yuanzhen of the Tang Dynasty) It's not that chrysanthemums are particularly preferred among flowers, but because after the chrysanthemums bloom, there are no more flowers to enjoy. The sentence implicitly praises the chrysanthemum's steadfast character of being proud of the frost and then withering.
2. I don’t know that old age is coming, and wealth and honor are like floating clouds to me. (Du Fu of the Tang Dynasty, "") Danqing, a vermilion and cyan pigment, refers to painting.
These two sentences say that I have been immersed in the art of painting all my life without feeling that I am getting old. Wealth and honor are as indifferent to me as floating clouds in the sky. The poem praises the noble sentiment of the famous painter Cao Ba who devotes himself to art and does not care about fame and fortune.
3. Wealth is not obscene and poverty is happiness. A man is a hero here. (Song Dynasty? Cheng Hao) A man who is not deceived by wealth and is content with poverty can be called a hero only when he reaches this state.
Today, it has been given a new meaning to describe the noble qualities of a person with lofty ideals and a benevolent person who does not seek fame or fortune. 4. If you don't say anything about peaches and plums, you will create a trail of your own.
("Historical Records") 芊 (xī): small road. Although peach and plum trees cannot speak, their fragrant flowers and sweet fruits attract people to admire and pick them, and even paths are naturally created under the trees.
This sentence means that people with high moral character will naturally win people's admiration. 5. Without indifference, there is no clear ambition; without tranquility, there is no far-reaching goal.
(Three Kingdoms? Shu? Zhuge Liang's "Book of Commandments") Without the cultivation of indifference and few desires, one cannot have pure aspirations; without a peaceful mind and without eliminating external interference, one cannot achieve lofty goals. Zhuge Liang believed that in order to cultivate one's morality and study one should first get rid of the shackles of fame and fortune, and avoid impetuousness in order to become talented.
6. To study alone without friends is to be lonely and ignorant. ("The Book of Rites? The Book of Learning") If you study alone without friends to learn from each other, your knowledge will be shallow and your knowledge will be limited.
7. Never forget the past and be the teacher of the future. ("Warring States Policy? Zhao Ceyi") It refers to remembering the experiences and lessons of the past, which can be used as a reference for the future.
8. But it is a place where there are no rocks in the level water, and it is often said that there is sinking. (Tang Dynasty? Du Xunhe's "Jingxi") Warn people not to be complacent and negligent when everything is going smoothly, but to be cautious.
Sinking: refers to shipwreck and drowning. 9. Do not do evil because it is small, and do not do good because it is small.
("Three Kingdoms") Never do bad things even if they are small, and do good things even if they are small. 10. If something is wrong, correct it; if not, add encouragement.
(The Analects of Confucius) Treat yourself and reflect on yourself every day. If you make mistakes, correct them. If you make no mistakes, encourage yourself. You should also adopt this attitude towards the opinions given to you by others.
11. Worry and labor can rejuvenate a country, but leisure can destroy one's life. (Preface to the Biography of Lingguan in the History of the Five Dynasties by Ouyang Xiu of the Song Dynasty) Hard work and hard work are enough to achieve great achievements; coveting ease and indulgence in pleasure will inevitably lead to death.
12. Be true to your words and be resolute in your actions. ("The Analects of Confucius") We must abide by our promises when we speak, and we must be decisive and thorough in our actions. These are the principles and virtues of being a human being.
13. Mount Tai does not allow soil, so it can become big; no sea does not accept small streams, so it can become deep. (Qin Li Si's "Book of Remonstrance and Expulsion") Let: refuse, give up.
Just: achievement. The original metaphor refers to recruiting talents to achieve great things.
It can also mean that only by being knowledgeable can one have deeper attainments. 14. Plum blossoms are less white than snow, but snow is less fragrant than plum blossoms.
(Song Dynasty Lu Meipo's "Snow Plum") Plum blossoms are not as white as snowflakes, and snowflakes are not as fragrant as plum blossoms.
Now it can be used to describe that people have their own strengths and weaknesses, and they should learn from each other and make up for their weaknesses.
15. If one lives and dies for the benefit of the country, why should one avoid it because of misfortune or fortune? (Qing Dynasty? Lin Zexu's "Going to the garrison and telling family members at the entrance") means: with, delivery.
If it is beneficial to the country, I can give my life. How can we run away from disasters and fight for happiness when there is it? The poem expresses Lin Zexu's noble sentiments of putting national interests first and not caring about personal gains and losses.
16. The melon field does not accept shoes, and the plum tree does not wear its crown. (An ancient Chinese Yuefu poem "The Conduct of a Gentleman") Do not bend down to pick up your shoes in the melon field (so as not to be mistaken for picking melons).
Don’t raise your hand to show off your hat under a plum tree (so as not to be mistaken for stealing plums). It is a metaphor for being cautious in places where people are likely to suspect you, and be careful to regulate your behavior.
17. A gentleman is magnanimous, but a villain is always worried. (The Analects of Confucius) A gentleman refers to a moral person.
Villain refers to a person with low morals. These two sentences say that a gentleman's heart is flat and broad, but a villain is often cramped and worried.
18. The high mountains stand still and the scenery stops. (The Book of Songs? Xiaoya) Jingxing (háng): the main road.
Stop: auxiliary word, meaningless. The original meaning of the two sentences is: when you encounter a mountain, look up to your heart's content; when you encounter a road, you can pass smoothly.
Later, "mountain" is used as a metaphor for noble morals, and "jingxing" is used as a metaphor for upright behavior. The meaning of the sentence is: A person with moral character as noble as a mountain will be respected by others; a person with upright behavior will be followed by others.
19. There is no rain cover when the lotus is gone, but there are still proud frost branches among the chrysanthemums. (Su Shi's "Gift to Liu Jingwen") Qing (qíng): hold up, lift.
The rain cover refers to the lotus leaf, because it looks like an open umbrella. The meaning of the two sentences is: when the lotus fades, the lotus leaves that hold up like an umbrella also wither; but the chrysanthemum withers, but the branches that stand proudly in the severe frost are still left.
The poem uses lotus as a backdrop to the chrysanthemum, expressing admiration for the noble sentiments of the friend. 20. I would rather die holding the fragrance on the branches than blow it down in the north wind.
("Painting Chrysanthemum" by Zheng Sixiao, Song Dynasty) I would rather die on the branch with the fragrance in my mouth than be blown down by the biting north wind. The poet used the chrysanthemum to express his unswerving patriotism.
21. People who have no faith do not know what is possible. ("The Analects of Confucius") I really don't know how to be a person who is dishonest.
It means that it is impossible for people to be dishonest. 22. The beauty of a gentleman is the beauty of being an adult, but the evil of being a gentleman is not.
(The Analects of Confucius) A gentleman helps others achieve good things and does not help others do bad things. 23. Don’t do to others what you don’t want others to do to you.
("The Analects of Confucius") Don't impose things you don't like on others. 24. People use copper as a mirror to correct their clothes; Know the gains and losses. ("Zi Zhi Tong Jian") If you are good at learning from other people's experiences and lessons to compare your own words and deeds, you will know what is right and what is wrong.
25. Those who speak are not guilty, but those who hear are warned. ("Preface to Mao's Poems") Those who give opinions are not guilty, but those who listen can take a warning.
26. Anyone who is not mine is my teacher; anyone who is mine is my friend; anyone who flatters me is my thief. ("Xunzi") Those who correctly criticize my mistakes are my teachers; those who properly affirm my strengths are my friends; those who blindly flatter me are my friends.
