Both of them expressed their ideals and ambitions in their poems, showing the heroic spirit of being generous to the country and the optimistic spirit of not being afraid of hardship. But specifically, the content and artistic style of their poems are different.
Difference:
1, Gao Shi's poems have developed in the depth of reflecting reality. Cen Can's poems are pioneering in reflecting the breadth of life.
2. Gao Shi's poems are mostly composed of five-character poems with long poems, which integrate the author's personal frontier knowledge, observation and thinking with his ambition of fame and fortune. Desolation and sadness are rational and calm, but the tone is generous and high. Cen Can learned from Gao Shi and others' seven-character poems and made some innovations. The form is close to Yuefu, but he doesn't use the ancient Yuefu title at all, and the rhyme is very flexible, depending on the content written.
3. Gao Shi can expose the disadvantages of frontier policy and frontier life with a calm eye, so his poems pay more attention to social reality. Cen Can's poems describe the colorful life of the frontier fortress. He often expresses the magnificent scenery and life of frontier fortress with unrestrained emotion and rich imagination, so his poems are more romantic.
Gao Shi (704-765) was born in Bohai Guo (now Cangzhou, Hebei) and later moved to Song Cheng, Songzhou (now Suiyang, Shangqiu, Henan). Anton is the grandson of Gao Kan, a minister and poet in the Tang Dynasty. He used to be an assistant minister of punishments, a regular servant of scattered riding, and was named Hou of Bohai County, known as Gao Chang's in the world.
Yu Yongtai died in the first month of the first year, and was given a gift by the ministers of the Ministry of Rites, posthumous title.
Cen Can (about 7 15-770), a frontier poet in Tang Dynasty, was the great-grandson of Cen Wenben, a hero of Emperor Taizong, and later moved to Jiangling, Jingzhou (now Jiangling, Hubei).
Cen Can was lonely and poor in his early years. He learns from his brother and reads history books. Tang Xuanzong was a scholar in Tianbao three years (744). At the beginning, he led the government soldier Cao to join the army. After joining the army twice, he first served as the secretary of the shogunate of Gao Xianzhi in Anxi. At the end of Tianbao, Feng Changqing was the judge of the shogunate when he was the minister of Anxi North Hospital. During the reign of Emperor Zong, Zeng Guan was the secretariat of History (now Leshan, Sichuan), which was called "Cen Jiazhou". He died in Chengdu in the fifth year of Dali (770).
