Bai Juyi (772-846) was born in Xinzheng, Henan, and his ancestral home was Taiyuan, Shanxi. He was a great realistic poet in the Tang Dynasty and one of the three great poets in the Tang Dynasty. Bai Juyi and Yuan Zhen * * * advocated the new Yuefu movement, and together with Liu Yuxi, they called the world "Bai Yuan" and "Bai Liu".
In June of the 10th year of Yuanhe, when Bai Juyi was 44 years old, Prime Minister Wu and imperial envoy Zhong Cheng Pei Du were assassinated. Wu died on the spot and Pei Du was seriously injured. For such a big event, the eunuch group and the old bureaucratic group in power at that time kept calm and were in no hurry to deal with it. Bai Juyi was very angry, so he wrote to urge the murderer to be severely punished to punish the law.
Bai Juyi was a great poet with great influence in the middle Tang Dynasty. His poetic thoughts and creations, which emphasize popularity and realism, occupy an important position in the history of China's poetry. In Jiu Shu Tong Yuan, he clearly said: "Servants aim to help the two, and they are independent. Always serve the Tao, and invent poetry.
Su Shi's main achievements:
Su Shi (1037-1101) was born in Meishan, Sichuan. A famous politician, thinker and writer in the Northern Song Dynasty.
Su Shi experienced five dynasties of Renzong, Yingzong, Zongshen, Zhezong and Huizong in the Northern Song Dynasty. When he first entered the official career, it was the time when the political and social crisis in the Northern Song Dynasty began to be exposed and the voice of scholar-bureaucrat reform was rising day by day. During the reign of Xining in Song Shenzong, Wang Anshi promoted the new law, hoping to change the situation of poverty and weakness in the Song Dynasty.
Although Su Shi advocated reform, opposed conformism and restrained strongmen, he did not agree with Wang Anshi's theory of political reform. Su Shi thought that "haste makes waste" and suggested that the emperor of Zongshen's special policy should not "seek medical treatment too quickly, pay too much tax on people and talk too much". Because these opinions and suggestions were opposed by the reformists, Su Shi was forced to transfer to another place, first to Hangzhou, and then to Mizhou and Xuzhou Huzhou.
He is an official place, pays attention to understanding people's feelings and cares about people's production and life. Wherever he goes, he is supported and loved by the people. Su Shi was the leader of the ancient prose movement in the Song Dynasty after Ouyang Xiu, and his prose works remained at around 4,000.
His great contribution is that he and Ouyang Xiu have formed a stable and mature prose style, which is called "Ou Su" by the world.
Extended data
Pipa Xing and Song of Eternal Sorrow are Bai Juyi's most successful works, and the outstanding feature of their artistic expression is the strengthening of lyric factors.
Compared with the previous narrative poems, although these two works also use narrative and description to express events, they can no longer simplify the events, and only use one central event and two or three main characters to structure the whole article, such as dramatic ponytail events.
The author is going to write a few strokes soon, but in the most lyrical description of the characters' psychology and the rendering of the environmental atmosphere, he splashed ink like rain to enjoy himself. Even Pipa Xing, a work with more ink on the description of music and characters' experiences, closely links sounds, events and emotions, and sounds follow emotions, so that the process of poetry is always accompanied by touching emotional power.
Su Shi's poems are fresh and natural, new here, handy, harmonious, ingenious and clumsy, with a wide range of themes, rich content and diverse styles, which is a symbol of the maturity of Song poetry.
Representative works include: Drinking Spring Rain after Chu Qing on the Lake, Begonia, Titing Xilin Wall, Night Scene by the Hui Chong River, Gift for Liu Jingwen, Spring Night, Litchi Sigh, etc. Su Shi's ci has made bold development and innovation in subject matter, artistic conception, style, language and skills, and is called "Su Xin" ci school together with Xin Qiji in the Southern Song Dynasty, creating a generation of bold ci style.
