First of all, I want to tell you one thing, which is what I know. Everyone knows Li Bai, because no matter who has studied Li Bai's poems in primary school, there are 300 Tang poems, many of which are Li Bai's poems. Li Bai can also be called a poet saint, or even a poet fairy, because Li Bai likes drinking very much, and because he is often addicted to poetry, if he writes poetry, he must be accompanied by wine every day, and he drinks too much, probably because of excessive drinking, which leads to his son's mental decline. Because Li Bai pursues romanticism more, he doesn't ask for something in real life, and he doesn't mind his own business, so the years of Li Bai's son are wasted, and then it is difficult to be elegant.
As for Du Fu, the situation is actually the same as that of Li Bai, except that Du Fu is too poor. The song "Autumn Wind Breaking the Cottage" written by Du Fu is a very real picture of his scene in No Country for Old Men at that time, because there were frequent wars at that time, and Du Fu was in that war-torn era, so it was difficult to maintain his life, let alone take care of his wife and raise his son.
From the experience of these ancient poets, we can find that the society at that time was really unfair to some people in the class such as poets and peasants, and their lives were really difficult.
