contents This paper studies the upper and lower bounds of the lifespan for the classical solutions to the initial value problems of one dimensional wave equations with non-autonomous semilinear terms including the space-derivative of the unknown function.This is a non-trivial business comparing to the analogous results with time-derivative type semilinear terms, especially for the proof to obtain the sharp upper bound of the lifespan as we have to deal with space dependent weights among iteration procedures of the weighted functional of the solution. Also it is surprising that a part of them reaches to the same ordinary differential inequality for classical semilinear damped wave equations introduced by Li and Zhou (Discrete Contin. Dynam. Systems, 1995, 1(4): 503-520), and we show a simple proof for blow up result from this ordinary differential inequality by iteration argument and slicing method in more general situation.
