However, Matsuo Bashō upgraded ordinary humorous comedy poems to a formal poetic style-haiku, and injected Zen into his poems. What he and Du Fu wrote is different in itself and easier to understand.
Du Fu is more concerned about the country and the people and sympathizes with the hard life of ordinary people. His poems fully reflect the process of Tang Dynasty from prosperity to decline, and are modernist poems. 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, began to narrate and focus on the whole story, marking the high achievement of China's poetic art. ..
You should know that Japanese have been studying China culture since the Tang Dynasty. Besides, if you write more poems, there will inevitably be similarities. As people in our own country, of course, we should stand up for Matsuo Bashō. If writing poetry, Matsuo Bashō and Du Fu are really not at the same level. Personally, I think. Ha ha!
