Chinese critics from the Song Dynasty referred to Du Fu as the “poet­historian”．Both before and after the An Lushan Revolt，Du Fu witnessed a typical political and social situation：the common people still lived in poverty while the emperor and his top officials enjoyed a foolishly luxurious life.He composed many poems such as Song of the War Chariots，Three Officials，and Three Departures.His poems expressed his dissatisfaction with the government and his great pity for the common people.Du Fu used his poems to comment on current events and historical images.Du Fu became the historian by creating his responses to particular situations.

　　Du Fu was talented.When he was young，he wanted to get a good job in the government.Unfortunately Du Fu was refused several times.It was in his fifties that he began to serve as a minor official in Chang'an（Xi'an）.Gongbu was his official title and probably he was in charge of the local industry.

　　Du Fu was not a skilled survivor in government politics.He was dismissed in the form of a transfer to the post of personnel administrator in Huazhou and so left Chang'an.Du Fu soon gave up this minor post in disgust and set off with his family to Qinzhou in the northwest.After a short stay he moved on again and in 759 he arrived in Chengdu.He set up a modest cottage with some money he borrowed from his friend who served as a local governor.In the cottage he had a simple and peaceful life for three years，writing about 240 poems.Mostly inspired by the cottage，the stream nearby and the scenery in Chengdu，these poems give the impression that he was happier in Chengdu than any other time in his life.The poems of this period sound relaxed and happy.
