What's the difference between Du Fu's and Li Bai's poems and songs in creative style?

Li Bai and Du Fu are the two most outstanding poets in the Tang Dynasty. They represent the highest achievement of China's classical poetry and are called "Du Li", namely Li Bai and Du Fu. But their creative styles are different, one is a realistic poet and the other is a romantic poet. In style, they have their own characteristics. Li Bai is unrestrained, fresh and elegant; Du Fu is depressed and sad.

Among them, Li Bai lived in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, the country was strong, and the literati were eager to make contributions. Therefore, as a scholar in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, his poems echoed the times and showed great ambitions. Li Bai is a famous romantic poet. He inherited the romantic tradition since The Songs of the South. His poems are passionate, magnificent, imaginative, fresh and romantic. In the most prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty, the poetic style expressed personal feelings and praised the desire and pursuit of free life and personal value.

Li Bai's ideal in life is to be detached from things and actively join the WTO. However, Du Fu is different. Living in troubled times, Du Fu's lifelong wish is to be loyal to the monarch and be virtuous. Therefore, Du Fu's poems have strict rules, restrained emotions, depressed artistic style, and personality characteristics of worrying about the country and the people. Du Fu's wandering poetic style in the war and his miserable life complement each other and appear sad and painful.

Different backgrounds of their times, personal experiences and personalities. Although they are friends who have met before, there are too many factors that make them write and do in different styles.
