Li Bai, the son of the times, shocked the poetry world as soon as he appeared. His poetic creation full of wind and thunder, as well as his genius, conquered many readers at that time, and he was a wizard among officials and people, enjoying a high reputation and status. For example, Su Xiang said, "The boy is a genius, Yingli. He never stops writing." (Li Bai's History Book of Pei Chang in Shang 'an County) Du Fu admired Li Bai even more. He said in "Memories of Li Bai in Spring": "White in poetry is invincible, and it is not a group. Fresh and open, Junyibao joined the army. " Praise Li Bai's poetry creation from prosperity to decline, and think that his poetry has the style characteristics of "freshness" and "elegance", which is unparalleled in the world. Du Fu also said in "Send Li Twelve White and Twenty Rhymes": "There used to be fanatics named immortals. Put pen to paper shocks the wind and rain, and poetry becomes tears. Since then, fame has never spread. The literary talent is extraordinary and the communication will be unparalleled. " It is pointed out that Li Bai's poems have unparalleled magical artistic appeal, and their great fame will be passed down to future generations. He said in "The Eight Immortals Song of Drinking": "Li Bai has a bucket of hundreds of poems, and Chang 'an went to the inn to sleep. The son of heaven called instead of boarding the boat, claiming that he was Brewmaster. "I am surprised at Li Bai's unrestrained genius. Ren Hua, a contemporary of Li Bai, said that Li Bai's "new poems spread to the palace population, and good sentences never leave the heart" ("Miscellaneous Words for Li Bai"). In the eyes of poets in the middle and late Tang Dynasty, Li Bai and Du Fu occupied a high position. Both Han Yu and Li Shangyin adore Li Bai. After the Song Dynasty, Du Fu's position was extremely high. However, poets are all called Li and Du Fu.
Li Bai's great influence on later generations is first of all his personality strength and poetic charm. His extraordinary self-confidence, his independent personality of "Oh, how can I bow and scrape to a powerful person", his awe-inspiring character of "treating all kinds of games as friends and a pillar of soil" and his natural and unrestrained spirit of blending with nature have attracted countless literati. In the cultural tradition of China ancient feudal society in which individual personality consciousness was suppressed by orthodox thoughts, Li Bai's unrestrained and naive personality style undoubtedly has great charm. The bold and elegant style of his poems, unpredictable imagination and the beauty of clear water lotus have great appeal to later poets, and Su Shi, Lu You and others have all been influenced by him. Because he writes poems with talent and temperament, his poetic style can't be learned. In the history of China's poetry, Li Bai has an irreplaceable immortal position.
