Expanded Information:

Du Fu was born in a country where the Confucianism and officialdom were the norm for many generations.

Du Fu was born into a bureaucratic family with a long tradition of "following Confucianism and observing official duties", and his family gave him an orthodox Confucian upbringing and the ambition to make a difference in his career.

So Du Fu said that being an official was his family's "profession" - a career inherited from generation to generation - and that his cultural upbringing and all his subsequent behaviors were linked to the pursuit of a career in the civil service and the pursuit of a career as an official.

Before he was thirty-five years old, Du Fu was in a period of study and travel. It was a period of great prosperity for Du Fu, and he was in a better financial position, which was the most gratifying period of his life. From the age of twenty, he ended his study and began his "grand tour" which lasted more than ten years.

Du Fu was exposed to the rich cultural heritage and magnificent mountains and rivers of our motherland, which not only enriched his life, but also enlarged his vision and mind, and brought a strong color of romanticism to his early poems.

But because of this way of life, it was impossible to get close to the people and go deeper into reality, so as a great realist poet, this was only a preparatory period for his creation.
