Why can't Tao Yuanming and Li Bai be compared? I also love drinking and writing poems ~

To say the difference, we must first say their similarities: they were equally ambitious and knowledgeable when they were young, but they could not give full play to their strengths when they were in high positions. They also suffered political setbacks and sent poems and scenery to alleviate their suffering.

The difference is that Tao Yuanming is better than Li Bai in this respect, because he is an official to show his strengths and to benefit the people. Tao Yuanming's artistic conception in his poems is distant and serene, but he is content with plain country life in his life. You can't see Tao Yuanming's complaints and incompetence. The real open-minded and cheerful person is the real hermit.

Li Bai: Politically, I mainly want to show my strengths and get ahead, which is essentially different from Tao Yuanming. The voice of complaining about talents has always been in my heart. You can't see Tao Yuanming's openness in Li Bai.
