Features: The greatness of Du Fu is not only reflected in form and content, but what is even more precious is that his poetry embodies his noble character. With a positive spirit of engaging with the world, Du Fu courageously and faithfully examined the vast social reality in all its forms, never losing faith under any adverse circumstances. His poems are filled with broad compassion and profound concern, each reflecting the author's own life and the shadows of the times. A collection of Du Fu's poetry is a history written in verse, with both laughter and sorrow, blood and tears. This book is part of the Illustrated Classics of Chinese Poetry and Prose series. Selected and annotated by Yang Yi, the Director of the Institute of Literature and the Institute of Ethnic Literature at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, it includes one hundred of Du Fu's most beloved poems, accompanied by detailed annotations, colloquial explanations, and critiques of outstanding lines. Additionally, we have included illustrations of Du Fu's poetry created by previous generations, as well as other visual materials related to Du Fu, to help readers better grasp the profound depth of his poetry and appreciate his patriotic fervor, his upright and dignified character, and the radiant brilliance of his noble spirit.
