A comparison of Li Bai's and Du Fu's poetic styles. What are the differences between Li Bai's and Du Fu's poetic styles?

1. The difference between Li Bai's and Du Fu's poetic styles is that Li Bai's poems are uninhibited and full of romanticism. Du Fu's poems are gloomy, worrying about the country and the people, and full of realism. Li Bai lived in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, the country was strong, and the literati were eager to make contributions. Therefore, as a scholar in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, his poems echoed the times and showed great ambition.

2. Li Bai is a famous romantic poet, who has inherited the romantic tradition since Chu Ci. His poems are passionate, magnificent, imaginative, fresh and romantic. In the most prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty, the poetic style expressed personal feelings and praised the desire and pursuit of free life and personal value.

3. Du Fu lived in the historical period from prosperity to decline in the Tang Dynasty, and his poems mainly focused on social unrest, political darkness and people's sufferings. His poems reflect the social contradictions and people's sufferings at that time, so Du Fu's poems have strict rules, restrained emotions, depressed and frustrated artistic style, and personality characteristics of caring for the country and the people and showing compassion for the people. Du Fu's wandering poetic style in the war and his miserable life complement each other and appear sad and painful.
