(1) Li Bai wanted to be an official, but he couldn't. His dissolute life formed his romantic poetic style. Eulogize ideals, express grief and indignation, despise powerful people, pursue freedom, expose reality, criticize current politics, and have ups and downs of emotions, full of contradictions.
Li Bai lived in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. He has a heroic personality and loves the mountains and rivers of the motherland. He traveled all over the country and wrote many magnificent poems praising famous mountains and rivers.
His poems are bold, fresh and elegant, with rich imagination, wonderful artistic conception and light language. Li Bai's poems and songs not only have typical romantic spirit, but also have typical romantic artistic characteristics in image shaping, material selection, genre and various artistic techniques.
Boldness is the main feature of Li Bai's poems. In addition to the factors of ideological character and talent, the artistic expression and genre structure used in Li Bai's poems are also important reasons for his bold and elegant style.
Du Fu was a great realistic poet in Tang Dynasty. He is concerned about the country and the people, with noble personality and exquisite poetic skills. The style of poetry is gloomy, inclusive, antagonistic and profound.
The word "depressed and frustrated" accurately summarizes his own work style, mainly depression.

His poems reflected the social contradictions and people's sufferings at that time, recorded the historical changes from prosperity to decline in the Tang Dynasty, and expressed the lofty Confucian benevolence and strong sense of hardship. All his poems reflect the darkness of reality and sympathize with the working people. Eager to contribute to the country; Everyone has praise for the great rivers and mountains of the motherland. Therefore, it is known as "the history of poetry".
Second, the local detailed analysis
Creative style:
Li Bai belongs to romanticism and Du Fu belongs to critical realism.
(1) Li Bai's poems have their own characteristics and varied styles, so it is difficult to summarize the styles of different periods with the word "elegance". Before and after Li Bai left Sichuan, he was deeply influenced by Taoist thought, and his poetry was characterized by elegance. He was depressed when he entered Chang 'an, but he didn't lose hope. His poetic style is bold and unrestrained, and his feelings are passionate. He sang repeatedly that he was very talented and useful. After entering Chang 'an, Li Bai's career was bumpy, his state affairs were declining, and his life was in dire straits. His poetic style is approaching the reality of the window of Jinzhong step by step, and his boldness is full of melancholy for the country and the people. When Yelang was exiled in his later years, Li Baiduo expressed his feelings, exposed reality and lashed the society in a gloomy, resentful and sad style, and his poetic style obviously turned to tragedy.
⑵ Du Fu's poetic style was formed in the Anshi Rebellion, and gradually formed in the suffering. Du Fu went deep into the society, cared about the sufferings of politics and people's livelihood, and attached importance to realism. As the window of Jinzhong, he shoulders the heavy responsibility of the country and the nation and faithfully depicts the face of the times and inner feelings. Du Fu's artistic style is gloomy and frustrated. Du Fu's realistic style was inherited from the Middle Tang Dynasty to the Song Dynasty. Especially in the Song Dynasty, Jiangxi Poetry School was regarded as the ancestor by Du Fu. His influence is enormous.
2. Creation genre:
The most fundamental difference in Du Li's creation lies in his different attitudes towards subjectivity and objectivity. In Wang Guowei's words, Li Bai is a' subjective poet' and Du Fu is an' objective poet'. Du Fu is good at objective description, his representative works are narrative poems, and lyric poems are also objective.
(1) Li Bai is good at self-lyricism, mostly lyric poems, and narrative poems are also lyrical. His poems always focus on "self", emphasizing and promoting the role of the subject, and even reaching the level of controlling and conquering the object (describing the object). For example, "Shu Dao Nan". The poet has repeatedly lamented that "it is difficult to learn Shu Dao and go to heaven", which was originally intended to imply that the poet's image is everywhere.
⑵ The social content of Du Fu's poems is directly presented through real and vivid pictures of social life. So it's easy to recognize. The image of Li Bai's poems is mainly the poet himself, not the objective social life, so his social content is not easy to be understood.
13. Life background:
⑴ Li Bai lived in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. He had the progressive ideal of "helping the poor" and "settling down in peace and contentment", and he struggled to realize this ideal all his life. At the age of five, his family moved to Zhangming County, Mianzhou (now Jiangyou County, Sichuan Province). At the age of twenty, he left Sichuan alone and began to wander widely. He traveled around, hoping to make friends and pay homage to celebrities, so as to get an introduction, climb high in one fell swoop and realize his political ideals and ambitions. However, after ten years of wandering, I have accomplished nothing. He went north again and lived in Rencheng, Shandong (now Jining, Shandong). At this time, he has made many celebrities and created a lot of excellent poems, which are famous all over the world. In the early days of Tianbao, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty went to Beijing to worship the Hanlin under the recommendation of Taoist Wu Renyun. Soon, due to the remorse of the dignitaries, he was driven out of Beijing in Tianbao 34 (AD 744 or 745). Since then, he has been wandering in Jiang and Huai, and his thoughts are extremely boring. In the winter of the 14th year of Yu Tianbao (AD 75), An Lushan rebelled. At this time, he lived in seclusion in Lushan Mountain, which coincided with the great army of Wang Yong, and invited Li Bai down the mountain to enter the shogunate. Later, Li Lin rebelled against Su Zong and was eliminated. Li Bai was implicated and sentenced to exile in Yelang (now Guizhou Province). He was pardoned and released halfway from Xunyang (now Jiujiang, Jiangxi) to Xuancheng (now Xuancheng, Anhui). In the first year of Baoying (AD 762), Dai Zong died in dangtu county, Anhui.
⑵ Du Fu grew up in a Confucian vegetarian family. His youth is a period of wandering north and south, and Qiu Ma's frivolous memories. At the age of 33, I met Li Bai and formed a friendship that has been told for generations. Like many poets in the Tang Dynasty, he had lofty aspirations and devoted himself to his country. However, in 746 AD, he took an exam, in which Li set up a scam. Shortly after his last visit, he returned to Chang 'an and tried several times to attract him, but all failed. Ten years in Chang 'an, I have experienced bitterness. At the same time, he saw the hardships of people's livelihood and always cared about national security. After the Anshi Rebellion, he experienced many twists and turns, became an official and was demoted. Finally, in his later years, he began to wander in the southwest, and eventually died in poverty and misery.
