Tu Fu's poetry illustrates more serious topics and contains more serious themes. It contains more creation, tu-tsao, and his writing styles have a modern twist to them. He also brought the chin-t'i form to popularity, making it a poetic statement. One characteristic of Tu Fu poems is that he incorporates and parallels two totally different topics together. For example, in his poem "River Stop" Tu Fu parallels the river and clouds to his heart and his mind. "Rivers flow- my heart doesn't try to keep up; clouds remain- slow as my imagination."

All the while it equates the natural beauty of the river to the beauty that the young man sees in the youthful maiden.

The use of visual imagery in each poem immensely contributed to conveying the theme. In the poem

The speaker furthermore conveys the idea that nature is a grandeur that should be recognized by including the element of imagery. The poet utilizes imagery as a technique to appeal to reader’s sense of sight . It is “the darkest evening of the year” (line 8) and a traveller and his horse stop “between the woods and frozen lake” (line 7).
