His poems have been widely praised by the people, and he has become a great poet in the hearts of people all over the world. Moreover, when he took part in the imperial examination, he was admitted to the Jinshi, the youngest one at that time. He was a legend at that time. But it is precisely because he became famous at a young age that Bai Juyi has endless loneliness and loneliness in his heart.
Unlike Bai Juyi, Yuan Zhen was not famous at that time. But when Bai Juyi first saw Yuan Zhen, he felt that he was not an ordinary person. Although Yuan Zhen said very little, he spoke very well and was a talented person. At this poetry meeting, Yuan Zhen left a deep impression on Bai Juyi. Bai Juyi, who has always been lofty, met Yuan Zhen and offered to exchange contact information with him. The two of them also discussed their views on poetry reform at the poetry meeting. Their views are strikingly similar and spiritually highly compatible. After the poetry meeting, the two of them also met together to discuss poetry. Most importantly, Bai Juyi saw Yuan Zhen's name on the big list on the day when the imperial examination was released. Yuan Zhen achieved good results in the imperial examination and embarked on his official career.
Later, the most predestined relationship was that the two of them were appointed as school bookkeepers together, assigned to the same department and worked together in the same position. The two of them always have endless words together. Although they haven't known each other for a long time, they have a high degree of tacit understanding and agree on many things. It is precisely because of the company of two people that they are more satisfied at work. They encourage each other at work and often talk about poetry and drink together in life.
The two of them can always collide with many new ideas together, and * * * advocates Kotzer. However, the two men did not go smoothly in officialdom, and both experienced ups and downs in life. But they are both destined to be promoted and demoted at the same time. When Bai Juyi was demoted, it happened that Yuan Zhen also suffered misfortune. He is my brother. After they were exiled to a different place at the same time, they kept in touch with each other, and their correspondence was frequent, with more than 1000 letters.

It is because of each other's existence that life can be beautiful and pain can be eliminated. Even after being in a different place, the tacit understanding between them has not weakened, and they can always guess each other's thoughts accurately at the first time. This is a good friend whose soul really fits. The last time Yuan Zhen and Bai Juyi met was on the way to the post office. They tried their best to finally meet. After meeting, two people always have endless words. Whenever they talk about each other's experiences when they were demoted, they will burst into tears. This also became the last time they met in their lives, and Yuan Zhen died soon after. Bai Juyi was so sad that the whole world was going to collapse when he heard the news of Yuan Zhen's death.
