I believe many people will wonder when they see this title, are Li Bai and the great poet Li Bai the same person? In fact, this question is also the same question I raised after seeing a calligraphy work "Up to the Balcony". Now I can tell you clearly that this Li Bai is the other Li Bai. The Li Bai who wrote the poem and the Li Bai who wrote the calligraphy are the same person.
? In China, Li Bai is so famous that almost everyone from the yellow-mouthed child who is learning to speak to the octogenarian white-haired old man can recite one or two of Li Bai's poems, " Purple smoke rises from the incense burner, and you can see the waterfall hanging in front of the river. The water of the Yellow River comes up from the sky and rushes down to the sea and never returns. It is suspected that the moon is shining in the sky in front of the bed. It's frost on the ground. I look up at the bright moon and look down at my hometown. "If you don't see it, the water of the Yellow River comes up from the sky and never returns to the sea." "A pot of wine among the flowers, drinking alone without seeing the moon. Make three people." This poem that flowed out of the mouth expresses people's infinite attachment to that glorious era for thousands of years, and Li Bai has also become a spiritual calling card in the hearts of the Chinese people.
? Li Bai is world-famous for his poetry, but because his poetry is so brilliant and his achievements are so great, people often overlook his other identity - a calligrapher. His only extant authentic work of cursive calligraphy written on paper, "Up to the Balcony Poster", is stored in the Palace Museum in Beijing. It is listed as a "national treasure" among the first-class national cultural relics, known as "Grade A", which shows that his calligraphy level is equally extraordinary.
? The full text of this calligraphy work contains a total of 25 words: "The mountains are high and the rivers are long, and there are thousands of objects. Without an old pen, it would be poor and strong. On the 18th, I went to the balcony to write, Taibai." "The fonts in the whole work are majestic and majestic, with ups and downs, which are completely consistent with the Li Bai in the poem who has a lot of ambitions in his chest and great ambitions in his belly. Through this calligraphy work, a real Li Bai seems to be beside us. Through the criss-crossing of horizontal and vertical strokes, we can feel Li Bai's momentum as if he were there, and we can hear his strokes. The sound of wandering on the rice paper. We traveled through thousands of years and finally found the great poet himself in this world.
? Look at the smart and jumping characters, the sudden momentum, rumbling towards us like landslides and earth cracks. We are overwhelmed, as if we have slipped into the time tunnel, approaching across thousands of years. On that day in the third year of Tianbao's reign, Li Bai and Li Bai visited the Balcony View of Wangwu Mountain, and witnessed Li Bai splashing ink, writing vigorously, and completing this calligraphy work in one go. Standing next to the case, we were stunned by this majestic calligraphy work. It was a stroke of genius. I was so drunk that I didn't know my way back. I suddenly woke up and couldn't help but clap my hands and cheer.
? This is the atmosphere of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, full of vigor and bright spirit! No wonder Zhao Ji, Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, wrote a postscript for it: "Taibai wrote running script to ride on the moon, and when he entered the restaurant in the west, he could see the characters looking at him, and he was outside the world. His calligraphy and painting were elegant and heroic, so he knew that Bai was not special in poetry."
? Forgetting both things and myself while living outside the world is what a true expert says!
