Li Bai and Du Fu's Poetic Style

Li Bai's creative style is romantic, elegant and unrestrained. The main style of Du Fu's poems is gloom and sadness. From the perspective of poetic thought, Bai Juyi pays attention to realism, popularity and allegory. Pay attention to "writing articles for the time, writing songs and poems for things." Li Bai, Du Fu and Bai Juyi are the three most famous poets in the prosperous and middle Tang Dynasty. Studying the creative styles and life experiences of these three people is helpful for us to understand the basic characteristics of poetry creation in the mid-Tang Dynasty. Li Bai's creative style and life experience Li Bai is a talented poet bred by the culture of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. The vitality, appeal and appeal of poetry in the prosperous Tang Dynasty have been fully demonstrated in Li Bai's poems. His poetry creation is full of surging * * * and magical imagination, which is not only vast and spectacular, but also beautiful and natural. It can be said: "The charm of Li Bai is the charm of 1 in the prosperous Tang Dynasty." Looking at Tianmen Mountain is one of Li Bai's seven masterpieces. This poem describes the poet's aesthetic feelings and emotional moments in the embrace of nature and daily life, and it is a work that is free and natural. The feeling of that moment, infinite charm, shows the beauty of nature and universal humanity, human feelings, simplicity, sincerity, full of life interest, and there is a kind of beauty of "clear water produces hibiscus, natural carving" Of course, it is not enough to explain the seven wonders of Li Bai just by saying "Looking at Tianmen Mountain from afar". Li Bai's seven unique poems are mostly landscape poems and farewell poems. In these poems, there is a temperament that is integrated with nature, and with its naive childlike innocence, it is integrated with mountains and rivers. No matter how you write about scenery and love, there is a natural and clear air, such as watching Lushan Waterfall, making Baidi City as early as possible, and asking questions in the mountains. Li Bai not only made outstanding achievements in four-character poems, but also made good achievements in Yuefu and Gexing. For example, Yuefu poems "Difficult Travel in Shu" and "Difficult Travel" highlight subjective feelings with bold exaggeration and clever metaphors, and form a majestic momentum with arbitrary writing. Li Bai brought his romantic temperament into Yuefu, brought new life to the ancient Yuefu poems, and pushed Yuefu poetry creation to an unparalleled peak. However, Li Bai's achievements in composition are 3 higher than Yuefu's. Such as "Climbing Mount Tianmu in a Dream" and other works, completely broke all the inherent forms of poetry creation, with no support and changeable brushwork, reaching the realm of unpredictability and swaying at will. It fully embodies the vigorous spirit of the times in the poetry of the prosperous Tang Dynasty and has the great masculine beauty of expanding it. Looking at Li Bai's poems, it is not difficult to see that Li Bai is a very distinctive artistic personality; In the history of China's poetry, the artistic individuality of his works is also unique. At the same time, I have a certain understanding of his creative style. His poems have a strong subjective color, which is mainly manifested in paying attention to expressing heroism and passionate feelings, and rarely describing objective images and specific events in detail. The most striking feature of Li Bai's lyric style is that it often breaks out. Once emotions are aroused, like hurricanes and overflowing volcanoes in the sky, they rush out without restraint. Combined with the expression of bursting feelings, his poetic imagination is unpredictable, often unreasonable and strange. Most of the images in poetry are magnificent things such as Dapeng, giant fish, long whale, great river and snow-capped mountains. This provides more and broader imagination and creates more romance. The language style of Li Bai's poems is fresh and lively, and hearty and lively is the basic tone of his words. His poems, which are blurted out and unadorned, often show transparency, purity and dazzling brilliance, reflecting his noble personality of rejecting secular identity. Why is Li Bai's creative style so romantic, elegant and unrestrained? Let's take a look at Li Bai's life experience. Li Bai was born in a rich and educated family. Let him "carry Liu Jia at the age of five and see a hundred schools at the age of ten". He grew up in Shu as a teenager. Zhongshu is a place with a strong Taoist atmosphere, and the environment has a great influence on his immortal Taoist belief. The influence of Taoism has been with him almost all his life. 18 years old, learning vertical and horizontal techniques. In my opinion, it is precisely because of the influence of these things in his youth that he has a proud, elegant and free-and-easy temperament. In the 12th year of Kaiyuan (724), Li Bai began to travel about life, asking for recommendations many times, but failed. He was full of dissatisfaction and disappointment with the imperial court, but he cared about state affairs and hoped to make achievements. Until Li Guangbi went to the southeast, half sick and dead. In my opinion, it is Li Bai who has received a good education and has the Confucian thoughts of "helping the poor" and "settling down" by poets in the Tang Dynasty. At the same time, Taoist thought runs through his life. Therefore, his over-idealized life design keeps wandering back and forth between failures, which makes him often fall into grief, injustice and disappointment, while maintaining the spirit of conceit, self-confidence, openness and high spirits. Romantic and independent at the same time.
