Du Fu's Poetry, Self-image, Ministerial ImageAbstract
Du Fu stands celebrated as the preeminent realist poet in the annals of ancient Chinese literature, noted for his profound allegiance to the emperor and his deep empathy for the populace. His poetry, often echoing the insights of a high-ranking official or minister, assumes the form of grand odes and admonitory chapters, reflecting a distinctive self-image. This paper aims to analyze Du Fu's construction of self-image through a textual examination of his works, endeavoring to illuminate the unique aesthetic values embedded in his poetry.
