Li Bai (70 1-762), whose word is Taibai, is the most outstanding poet in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, and also a great romantic poet in the history of China literature after Qu Yuan, and is known as the "Poet Fairy". He had a rough experience and complicated thoughts. He is not only a brilliant poet, but also a ranger, assassin, hermit, Taoist and counselor. Confucianism, Taoism and Rangers are all reflected in him. "Retire after success" is the dominant thought that dominated his life.
Li Bai left more than 900 poems to later generations. These brilliant poems show his mental journey all his life, and they are artistic portraiture of social reality and spiritual life in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Li Bai was ambitious all his life, and he expressed his yearning for fame and fortune unabashedly. This is vividly expressed in Fu Liangyin, Reading Biography of Zhuge Wuhou, and Love Cai Sheren Bear. Li Bai liked Ren Xia since he was a teenager, and wrote many ranger poems, among which Knight Rider is the representative work. Three years of political life in Chang 'an had a profound influence on Li Bai's creation. There is a sharp contradiction between his political ideal and the dark reality, and unspeakable pain and resentment accumulate in his chest. Angry, he wrote a series of nostalgia for the ancients, such as "Difficult to Go", "Antique" and "Answering the Twelve Cold Nights of the King". A famous sentence that is sad for a person's life and difficult to send away. Li Bai lived a wandering life for most of his life, traveled to many famous mountains and rivers all over the country, and wrote a lot of beautiful poems praising the great rivers and mountains of the motherland to express his feelings of loving freedom and yearning for liberation. In this kind of poetry, the strange mountains and rivers complement his rebellious and unruly character. This kind of poetry occupies a large number in Li Bai's poetry works, and has been passed down through the ages, among which "Climbing Mount Tianmu in a Dream" is the most outstanding masterpiece. With dripping and carefree poems, the poet freely spread the wings of imagination, wrote various spiritual adventures and pursuits, and truly liberated the repressed soul in his dreams. And "Oh, how can I seriously bow and scrape to high-ranking people and people in high positions? They will never stand being shown an honest face!" His poems show the poet's lofty sentiments and become an important basis for future generations to examine Li Bai's great personality.
As a great poet who loves the motherland, cares about the people and never forgets the reality, Li Bai is also very concerned about the important issue of war. Enthusiastic praise is given to the soldiers guarding the border (such as "Xia Sai Qu"), and the wariness of the rulers is mercilessly lashed (such as "Battle of the South of the City" and "Song of Ding Du"). Li Bai also wrote many Yuefu poems, describing the hard life of laborers and expressing their concern and sympathy (such as Long March and Midnight Wu Ge). ).
