Till the 21th century,the research on Du Fu and his poems nearly involve everything possible,such as the research on the writer,works and Du's Poems Study,and they just try to get a new,all-round and deeply explanation. All of the past research achievements show that:It is publicly agreed that Du Fu is a moral model for his faith to the emperor and his country and his concerning about the people and things. The general conclusion on his moral spirit is that the main factors contributing to Du's moral spirit arc the following:the Confucian school thoughts,the family origin and his bitter life experience. With the agreement to predecessors achievements,this essay aims to approach Du's personality and his poems from the angle of humanity."Literature is human study " The writer's shadow always lies in his works. It is "micro-me" and "macro-me" that forms the writer's personality. Here,"micro-me" is dominated by the reality principles,and it focuses on seeking happiness reasonably,while "macro-me" refer to the moral ego after the humanity distillation and it focuses on showing the noble sentiment. The aim of studying Du's humanity is to know Du better and more over-all:on one hand,we can feel his ordinary humanity charm,on the other hand,based on his humanity,we can understand the inner-relation between "micro-me" and "macro-mc",and can appreciate his uncommon personality charm,and further,we can feel the art charm of his poems' constant vitality.As far as man's material life concerned,all people need to strive hard their daily life,And it is inevitable that everyone may meet with disease and death during his whole life. So as to man's nature,the most important task is to struggle for living on. Of course,Du Fu is just the same for being an ordinary person. During his long period of wandering life,Du showed that he was eager to live well,for he never gave up when he was ill and feeble or in a odious conditions. From Du's attitude toward:place-choosing as home,food and drink,and life and death,we can find his noble humanity in the adverse circumstances,and they are:treat the life considerately,value the life highly,and love the life ardently.According to psychology theory,everyone has the need of being showed solicitude and compensating his pity. Need is the source of initiative. During Du's long period of fleeing from calamities,he felt the fragility of the life and indifference of human sympathy. This made him become more considerate,not only to himself,but also to his family and even to the whole people in the world. And all that clearly showed his noble sentiment to us. Du was ambitious but unfortunate,while the need of compensating his pity made him keep a considerate heart when he was badly frustrated. He stuck to undertaking the morality and justice--concerning about the reality and criticizing the society."His style is his personality." Concerning about the humanity and its distillation affect Du's creation greatly,and deepen his solemn and stirring style on poems,too. His style is benefited both from his art ingenuity and from his considering himself and going beyond it. It is clearly showed by his using the method of counter-comparison,These comparisons are the following three combination:a picture of insignificant individual combined with vast space -time;flowery language with sorrowful feeling;collision of different emotions. And all that make Du's poems style become solemn and stirring with sorrowful meaning and majestic words.Research on Du's humanity does no harm to his honor of "Saint of Poets " and "Great Names ofWord Culture ". We can say that Du's concerning about the humanity even makes his poems more powerful in arousing people's sympathetic response,more essay be accepted by all kinds of people. And,this should be one of the main reasons why Du's poems poses such a permanent charm..
