Features: The greatness of Du Fu is not only reflected in form and content, but what is even more precious is the noble character embodied in his poems. With a positive spirit of engaging with the world, Du Fu courageously and faithfully examined a wide range of social realities, never losing faith no matter how perilous the circumstances. His poems are filled with broad compassion and profound concern, each one casting a reflection of the author's life and the times. A collection of Du Fu's poems is a history written in verse, with laughter and sorrow, blood and tears. This book is part of the Illustrated Classics of Chinese Poetry and Prose series. Selected and annotated by Mr. Yang Yi, former Director of the Institute of Literature and the Institute of Ethnic Literature at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, this volume 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 poems created by previous generations and other relevant visual materials related to Du Fu, helping readers better grasp the profound depth of his poetry and appreciate his patriotic fervor, upright character, and the radiant brilliance of his noble spirit.
