| Confucian classics had lived through all kinds of re-explaination of academic trend of thoughts served for me. Although their position were ups and downs repeatedly since Han Dynasty, they had been always the literary men's compulsory books, not only composed their knowledge structures, but also moulded their outlook on life, value as well as literature concepts. This influence reflected obviously or obscurely in the poems which mirrored feeling and ambitions. In Tang Dynasty, the studies of Confucian classics were unified, the official revised Wu Jing Zheng Yi was the authoritative books of schooling and imperial examinations, so the acceptation of Confucian classics was also more universal than the former dynasties. The influence of Confucian classics that Du Fu accepted was proceeded from two paths:the first one was the sediments of traditional culture, the other one was the direct Confucian explaination of wu jing zheng yi. This dissertation mainly discussed the influence of Confucian classics and their explainations on the contents and forms of Du Fu's poems, including the sediments of traditional culture.Combined with the close relationship of Confucian classics and poems as well as the practical situation of the original version choice of wu jing zheng yi,this dissertation choosed Mao poems, Zuo Zhuan, Zhou Yi and their explainations as the main inspective objects to discuss the influence they had brought to Du Fu's poems.The author used the method of textual analysis, try to find out the the direct and indirect influence that carried out in Du Fu's poem notions and writings.Mao Shi has the strongest literariness in the Confucian classics. It has the postion of classic as well as poem in Tang Dynasty. Du Fu advocated "studies and give up flowery poems and be close to the poems which have deep thoughts", he learned from Mao Shi self-consciously. On one hand,he absorbed and melted amounts of words from Mao Shi.On the other hand,he studied practical article methods from Mao Shi, such as used dialogue in poems, combined narration with comments and feelings, used beautiful landscapes served as a foil to sorrowful feelings, the implying meanings through physical phenomena, the preface to reveal main idea and so on.The most important thing is that Du Fu accepted the poem notions which:included in the Confucian explanation of Mao Shi: Firstly, the concept of "poems are born from politics". This idea run through Mao Shi as well as its all kinds of explainations and reflected very clearly in Du Fu's poem notions and writings. Secondly, the moralized principle of roundabout admonish, begin with affection, end with "Li"and "Yi". Du Fu has deep understanding on this point, his poems expressed feelings indrectly, controlled emotion through feudal ethical codes. Most of his poems represented the characteristics of implication and gentleness.The studies of The Spring and Autumn Annals in Tang Dynasty was mainly the studies of Zuo Zhuan,the original version Chun Qiu Zuo Zhuan Zheng Yi choosed was Du Yu's Chun Qiu Jing Zhuan Ji Jie in Jin Dynasty. Du Yu was the thirteenth genenaration ancestor of Du Fu, Du Fu had special affection to Zuo Zhuan The influence that studies of The Spring and Autumn Annals exerted on Du Fu's poems also proceeded from two channels:On the first place was to use the artical presentation for reference. Du Fu used a lot of words, allusions as well as the narrative art from Zuo Zhuan in his poems and got a great success. On the second place was the acceptation of the idea in The Spring and Autumn Annals. The Spring and Autumn Annals recorded both nature affairs and human affairs, the scholars of Confucian classics after the era of The Spring and Autumn Annals considered that there were deep meanings in nature affairs, even in Han Dynasty came into being the notion of Man-nature telepathy and led to important infulence. Du Fu has recorded most of the disaters and marvels in his time, his poems had the implicaton of Man-nature telepathy. The latter half of Du Fu's life just was the time of many calamities were happened in Tang Dynasty, such as Anshi's rebellion, the invasion of Tibet,the monopoly of the feudal separatist and so on, so the idea of "respect for the monarch and resistance against foreign tribes"in The Spring and Autumn Annals strongly expressed in Du Fu's poems.Zhou Yi Zheng Yi choosed Wang Bi and Han Kangbo's explaination as the original version,the inclination of truth in life was more obviously after the explaination.Du Fu showed his interests for the principles of Zhou Yi,he not only cited its profound words,but also expressed the principle of Zhou Yi. The aesthetic tendency of Zhou Yi were virility and sincerity, Du Fu presented the same taste from his comment on poems and arts to expression of words in his poems, and the inclination of ideas. Zhou Yi was the origin of worrying mentality in traditional culture; its ideas of nipping in the bud, cultivating merit, working hard to pull though difficulties were all represented in Du Fu's poems. There were also many notions which related with expression of words such as "its word has the thing", "its word order", "graceful words has deep meaning", "honesty was the basis of rhetoric" and so on not mentioned in Du Fu's poems directly, but his writing activities have reflected these notions. Furthermore, Du Fu's commenting on poems with "shen", expressing "shen" with poems were both more or less related with the concept of "shen"in Zhou Yi.Confucian classics had important even implicate influence on Du Fu's poems, for there were too many factors determined his poems, such as the era of the writing,his own temperament and cultural cultivation, the traits of the poem and so on. Whereas, being a punctilious Confucian, the idea of advocate classics played an important part in Du Fu's poems, the characteristics of elegant words and right truth, orderly principles, deep affection to the secular life were all of the extension of the idea of advocate classics.
