Du Fu (AD 7 12- AD 770), a native of Xiangyang, Han nationality, moved to Gongxian County, Henan Province. He is a great realistic poet in Tang Dynasty, and he is also called "Du Li" with Li Bai. In order to distinguish them from Li Shangyin and Du Mu, namely "Little Du Li", Du Fu and Li Bai are also called "Big Du Li".
Du Fu had a profound influence on China's classical poetry. He was called "the sage of poetry" by later generations, and his poems were called "the history of poetry". Later generations called him Du Shiyi, Du Gongbu, Du Shaoling and Du Caotang.
Du Fu wrote such famous works as Spring Hope, Northern Expedition, Three Officials and Three Farewells. In 759, Du Fu abandoned his official position and went to Sichuan. Although he fled the war and lived a relatively stable life, he still cared about the whole life and the country. Although Du Fu is a realistic poet, he also has a wild side. It is not difficult to see Du Fu's heroism from his famous work "Song of Drinking Eight Immortals".
The core of Du Fu's thought is the Confucian thought of benevolent governance, and he has the great ambition of "making the monarch Yao and Shun superior and then making the customs pure". Although Du Fu's fame was not prominent before his death, it was widely circulated later, which had a far-reaching impact on China literature and Japanese literature. There are about 65,438+0,500 existing poems by Du Fu, most of which are collected in Du Gongbu.
Li Bai (70 1-762), the word Taibai, was born in Ji Cheng, Longxi (now Tianshui City, Gansu Province), was born in Suiye City on the Suiye River in Kyrgyzstan, belonged to Duhu House in Anxi County in Tang Dynasty (now tokmak City, Chuhe Prefecture), and grew up in Changlong County, Jiannan Mianzhou (now jiangyou city City, Sichuan Province). There are "poetry immortals".
According to the Book of the New Tang Dynasty, Li Bai is the ninth grandson of Gui Li, the King of Liang. According to this statement, Li Bai is a brother and sister of Emperor Taizong, and his ancestors are Li or Li Yuanji. According to Old Tang Book, Li Bai's father, Li Ke, was appointed as the city guard.
In the third year of An Shi Rebellion (756), he was angry and uneasy, and joined Li Lin of Wang Yong shogunate. Unfortunately, Wang Yong and Su Zong competed for the throne and were defeated and exiled to Yelang (in today's Guizhou). I was forgiven on the way and wrote "Get up early in Baidicheng". Wandering southeast in his later years, he died soon. Others said that he was drunk and died of illness.
His works are imaginative, romantic, dreamy and brilliant. Poetry is like a cloud, and it is natural. Li Bai's poems have been handed down for thousands of years, and many poems have become classics, such as "But since the water is still flowing, although we cut with swords, we raise our glasses to dispel our worries". Li Bai's artistic achievements in poetry and songs are regarded as the peak of China's romantic poetry. Li Bai's poems are included in volumes 16 1 to 185. There is a collection of biographies of Li Taibai.
Du Fu has more than 1500 poems, while Li Bai has only 185, which shows that Li Bai's poetic ability is not as good as Du Fu's.
