Let's start with Li Bai. Li Bai, an unruly genius, is a fallen fairy.
Among the ancient poets in China, two were commented by immortals, one was Li Bai and the other was Su Dongpo. However, Li Bai is a "man who achieved immortality through enlightenment" and Su Dongpo is a "man who achieved immortality through enlightenment".
A poem written by Du Fu to evaluate Li Bai: Qiu Lai cared for him, but he was not ashamed that Ge Hong was cinnabar. Drinking crazy songs for nothing, who is arrogant?
Li Bai's poems are the best, one is long sentences, the other is short quatrains. The worst one is a seven-character poem. Because Li Bai flies in the sky like an eagle, there are few restrictions on long sentences for him to gallop freely, while short quatrains can be translated into sentences with a natural charm, and there are too many restrictions on seven-character poems. How does the goshawk spread its wings in the cage?
But Du Fu is an all-rounder and can write poems of any genre.
Let's look at the content style again.
When I really sat down to read Du Fu and read Du Fu's poems, I found that Du Fu's poems were greater than others.
To make an inappropriate analogy, Li Bai is like a bunch of beautiful feathers floating in the air, and Du Fu is like a thick and solid mirror. After makeup, feathers make you more beautiful, and the mirror makes you aware of your face. If you don't want to make a choice, feathers can be discarded, and mirrors are absolutely indispensable. Of course, I didn't mean to belittle Li Bai. Li Taibai is equally great, and they all represent the peak of Tang poetry. I'm just saying their style.
The following are excerpts from Du Fu's poems by Ye Jiaying.
Li Bai is an imaginative genius. The performance of his life is the performance of his unruly genius. He is a genius outside the rules. Du Fu is a genius within the norms.
I'm tired of reading dozens of Li Bai's poems, but Du Fu's poems can always be read.
Du Fu is great because he was born in an era that can be summarized. On the one hand, he has made great achievements in the art of poetry, and can write poems of various genres and contents well. On the other hand, he combined personal feelings with ethical values.
Any great poet, if he can convey an inspiring life in his poems, that life must be his truest and purest life, not some empty slogans. Writing poetry with slogans and dogmas is a kind of degradation of poetry. Anyone who really has an ideal should use your life and life to practice your ideal.
A really good work must be a combination of artistic perfect expression and the power of feeling, which is what Wang Guowei said, to feel and write.
Textual research is only the periphery of literature.
One of the characteristics of Du Fu's poems: not avoiding ugliness.
It is the foundation of all beauty.
Women described by ancient men in China have two emotional types, one is expectation and the other is dedication.
Palace poetry is really a kind of lifeless poetry.
How stupid is it to make a promise? Stealing is better than acting. Ye Lao said: People often talk about ideals. For example, a young man who goes to college, studies for a doctor, studies abroad and finds a good job is often considered as an ideal. Some people want to be famous, want to show their parents, want to be big, want to achieve something, and study hard for this, which is already very good. But this "ideal" is calculated from personal strength, but it is still only a secular utilitarian thought. Dr. Sun Yat-sen put it well: "Be determined to do great things, not to be a big official." Ordinary young people can't reach such a state, and this idea based on personal fame and fortune will always belong to the second category. If the ideal is really first-class, it is the instinctive pursuit of truth, goodness and beauty in the world. Even if I suffer for it, I am willing to suffer for it. After doing this, I will not only be famous, but even be scolded. I will do it. I have no choice but to do it.
All the greatest poets in history did not just write with words, but wrote their poems with his life and practiced his poems with his life.
Du Fu's ideal: obey the monarch and then make the customs pure.
Poetry is the ability to write a heart touched by life.
Du Fu's attitude: Worrying about Li Yuan in poor years, sighing hot in the intestines.
Du Fu's writing style of reflecting reality and not avoiding ugliness is probably influenced by Cai Yan, but the difference between them is that Cai Yan wrote about personal experiences in troubled times, while Du Fu wrote about the misfortune of the whole country and people.
The real ideal is that you should have an instinct of seeking truth and doing good, rather than saying that you are seeking truth and doing good for what you will get in return in the future.
Du Fu's poems are both emotional and rational and beautiful.
A great writer has an ideal and pursuit all his life. Du Fu can't just read one poem. All the poems in his life can be mutually verified and interpreted. His life is a poem.
A flower flies away, but it is spring, and the wind is even more worrying.
The quality of poetry lies not in the beauty and ugliness of your words, but in your communication.
As a symbol, the most important thing is image and tone.
No matter poetry or novel, it can only be expressed but not explained.
Any good poet must have a strong and fresh feeling.
There are many metaphors in Du Fu's poems, describing national conditions with scenery.
The following is a copy of Du Fu's Selected Poems and my feelings.
You see, following the geese, each has his own plan.
The wine and meat in Zhumen stink, and the road has frozen bones.
The flag of sunshine falls and the wind of A?vagho?a rustles. This atmosphere is a poem mentioned in Wang Guowei's "Words on Earth".
There are many good sentences in Love River Head. An archer, chest up, through the clouds, smiling. The picture is super strong, scene, bearing, natural and unrestrained, fourteen words, completely exposed, bye-bye. Where are those perfect eyes and those pearly teeth? A blood-stained soul has no home and nowhere to go. The prosperity of the past, the prosperity of the past, has been lost to the East. This turn is very uncomfortable. Compassionate people shed tears and hoped that she would be as eternal as rivers and flowers? It is really well written to compare the impermanence of life with running water growing in the east and plants withering. This feeling is so in Du Fu's place, but it is in Li Bai's place: Cangwu landslide, Hunan water disappears, and tears on bamboo can be extinguished. In Bai Juyi: everlasting, everlasting; One day both will end, and this endless sadness will last forever. Only a great poet can express this inhuman feeling incisively and vividly!
Read the three officials and say goodbye to each other. The scene when the war went wrong is really in front of us. Du Fu is a great mirror of the Anshi Rebellion in the Tang Dynasty. In the wedding of the couple, there are many personnel mistakes, facing Junyong. There is a difference in aging: if there is a clutch in life, it will decline. Homelessness includes: being homeless in life and thinking that you are thriving. Sincere and touching, a few short poems make you feel like you have been pricked by an awl after reading them, and it will always hurt for a while.
Du Zimei's skill in writing poetry is terrible.
Qiu Xing's eight poems are exquisite and touching. I won't go into details, so I'll leave it to everyone to experience.
In a word, Li Bai and Du Fu, as twins in the history of China's poetry, are equally radiant, and I like them both.
