1. Recalling Li Bai in Spring
Tang Dynasty: Du Fu
Bai Ye's poems are incomparable, and his thoughts are unparalleled.
The fresh Yu opened his mansion, and the handsome Bao joined the army.
Spring trees in Weibei, dusk clouds in Jiangdong.
When a bottle of wine, important and detailed essays.

Li Bai's poetry is unrivaled. His poetic thoughts are free and elegant, bold and unrestrained, and his poetic style is extraordinary and unusual.
Li Bai's poems have the freshness of Yu Xin's poems and the handsome and elegant style of Bao Zhao's works.
I am alone in Weibei facing the trees in spring, while you are far away in Jiangdong looking at the dusk and thin clouds. The sky is far apart, and I can only miss each other from a distance.
When can we have a drink together and slowly discuss articles with you?

When he was young, he gave up being an official, and spent his whole life idle in the clouds. When he was old, he was still carefree in the clouds in the mountains.
The bright moon is in the sky, he puts the wine in the wind, drinks the clear wine and gets drunk, he does not care about the king and is intoxicated by the natural beauty.
