From a cultural point of view. Li Bai and Su Shi have a great influence on China people. Li Bai is called Xian Di, while Su Shi is called Bo Xian. Li Bai's influence depends on his lofty sentiments and chivalry, which is almost zero for ordinary people in today's society, while Su Shi's influence is various. Whether everyone is proud or frustrated, everyone can look for Su Shi's figure and then lead to the destination of the soul. Su Shi is funny when he lives in peace, open-minded and generous when he is frustrated, sober when he is proud, and serves the people when he is an official. Su Shi was willing to offend Wang Anshi and Sima Guang for better standards, and bravely declared war on the old pedant Cheng Yi. When he was demoted to Hainan Province, he was calm and kind to his family, wife and friends. ...
Su Shi is taller. Li Bai is famous for his poems. It can be said that whenever we talk about poetry in China, we always talk about Li Bai, although there are countless poets in China since ancient times, which shows its great influence. After reading the complete selection of Tang poems, Li Bai's poems are the most collected by Baidu and one of the creators, and few people can match them. It can be seen that the quality and influence of his works. But as far as the artistic achievements of poetry works are concerned, I think it is slightly inferior to Du Fu, another expert role in the same period. This is the difference between "poetic immortal" and "epic". Apart from poetry, Li Bai's other cultural and sports activities are legendary and unknown to future generations. Let's talk about Su Dongpo first. He is also a rare ghost figure in China literature. Literature, poetry, calligraphy and painting have all reached the first-class realm of life, which can be said to be omniscient and meticulous. Because the number of articles is related, I won't go into details.
On the influence of later generations, Han Yu and Li He in the middle Tang Dynasty were influenced by Li Bai and formed a unique romantic design style. Su Shi and Lu You's reference to Li Bai's bold and unconstrained ci style. Li Bai is a very talented writer and is called "Poet Fairy". It's just that this aura can't be learned by future generations. Su Shi, on the other hand, successfully influenced Li Shangyin, a poet of the Song Dynasty who was called "Su Xin" by the world, and formed a bold and unconstrained ci school on an equal footing with graceful and restrained ci, and inspired writers of the public security school in the Ming Dynasty and the Song school in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties. In these respects, Su Shi is better than Li Bai. Generally speaking, due to the fact that the total number of Su Shi's writings, writing themes and characteristics, and the influence on later generations are better than that of Li Bai, some scholars believe that in the history of China China literature, Su Shi's historical influence is higher than that of Li Bai.
