This paper studies Tu Fus poems that are thematically related to the motion of "望(wang)"--which means "to regard" in English. By analyzing the meanings of "望(wang)"--to regard, the paper intends to explore Tu Fus Weltanschauung. It considers that "望(wang)" reveals the poets perspectives, not only on outward phenomena, but also on inward pheno mena, that is, how the poet conceptualizes his own life. Thus, the various ideas of "望(wang)"--to regard shown by his poems reflect the different aspects of Weltanschauung in the various stages of the poets life. By correlating his poems with his life, the paper aims to recreate a comprehensive picture depicting the change of Tu Fus Weltanschauung. Throughout his life, Tu Fu desired to make the country better than what it used to bew hen the ancient saintly kings, Yao (堯) and Shun (舜) ruled. He also wished that his countr ymen could have high moral values. However, his desires were never fulfilled and hisfrustrat ion was vented on his poems. One of his earlier poems, "望嶽(Looking at the Mountain Ta)", demonstrates grandeur and broad-mindedness. In his later poems, this grandeur diminishes, and the manifests a sense of self-pity for his aging body. From a philosophical perspective, this paper reviews interpretation of related passages in the Confucian theory of heart/mind. Furthermore, this paper traces the source of the formati on of visible image in the poems of Tu Fu by pointing out the concept of "望(wang)"--to regard an ontological concept. In the poems of tu Fu, the concept of "望(wang)", which means the formation of visible image is the most important constitutive categories of the poetics systems. The term "望(wang)"--to regard is not only a motion of sensibility. Rather, the wholeknowle dge should based on the rule of "望(wang)"--to regard. But in Tu Fus poems, he gave "望(wang)" a new meaning as the origin of the universe. He described a developing process of the universe and the Weltanschauung. From metaphysical conceptualizations to a strong concern for ones own imminent physical existence, the change of the term "to regard" in Tu Fus poems reflects the change of his own perspectives. His final entrapment in thephysicality of existence signifies the ultimate breakdown of his belief in the Confucian theory of heart/mind.
