1. Background: Li Bai is older than Du Fu 1 1 year. Li Bai's poems were mainly written in the prosperous Tang Dynasty and Kaiyuan period. At that time, it was a time of peace and prosperity, so most of Li Bai's poems were heroic and broad-minded. Du Fu's poems mainly come from Tianbao period, when An Shi Rebellion broke out, the country was broken, wars were frequent, the people were devastated and the land was barren, so Du Fu's poems were generally related to the sufferings of the people.
2. Different personality: Li Bai lived in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, with a heroic personality, loved the mountains and rivers of the motherland, traveled all over the country, and wrote a lot of magnificent poems praising famous mountains and rivers. His poems are bold, fresh and elegant, with rich imagination, wonderful artistic conception and light language. People call him "Poet Fairy". Du Fu's early personality was also bold and unrestrained, but in the later period, under the successive blows of hopeless official career and the ruin of the country, his personality became more and more calm, and his poetry also changed to realism.
3. Different experiences: Li Bai's career was smooth and won the favor of Tang Xuanzong. He became famous all over the world at a young age. Du Fu was poor all his life, his official career was not smooth, and he experienced the ruin of his country and the frequent wars, which led to their different styles.
