In my opinion, I am in favor of putting Su Shi in the first place, that is, I can show a calm, generous and optimistic attitude in poetry, including his attitude towards life and doing things. If Dongpo wants to claim to be the second word, I'm afraid no one dares to be the first.
The second word is Li Bai, because his realism is really unrestrained, free and easy, and it is surprisingly difficult to exaggerate. All kinds of techniques are amazing and full of praise. I like one of his poems, "It should be that the immortal is drunk and presses the white clouds." If I don't look at the first moment of analysis, I really didn't think he was trying to describe snow. We never dared to think about this idea, nor did we say that we would. We usually write about how deep the snow is, and then the snow looks like pear blossoms or something. In short, we admire it.
Speaking of Li Bai, of course, his little brother Du Fu is indispensable. His poems truly and profoundly describe the sufferings of ordinary people. Then there is the origin of our Dragon Boat Festival, Qu Yuan's Lisao, in which the phrase "I take a long breath to hide my tears and lament the hardships of people's lives" really expresses how many feelings. Then, Bai Juyi's Song of Eternal Sorrow, which I have memorized for a long time, is worth savoring. Including Lu You, Sima Qian, and I like Cao Cao Zhi's Zi Jian's Luo Shen Fu very much. In fact, it deifies Zhen Fu, but every expression and action is in place. And Cao Xueqin's A Dream of Red Mansions, it is said that Four Great Classical Novels should be ranked first. Finally, Tang Xianzu.
