Why has there never been a poet who reached the height of two people after Li Bai and Du Fu?

In everyday life, people often say? Never before, never after? . In fact, whenever I hear someone say this sentence, I think of two people, that is? Poet fairy? Li Bai and the poet saint? Du fu? . Throughout the history of China's poetry for more than two thousand years, almost no one's achievements can reach the heights of Li Bai and Du Fu. Then why are there no poets who have reached their height after Li Bai and Du Fu?

First, timing. Throughout the history of poetry development of more than two thousand years, almost no one can achieve the achievements of two poets, Li Bai and Du Fu. Although later Bai Juyi, Su Shi and Lu You all made great achievements, they were still a little worse than Du Li. In fact, this is the first item in what we often say is the harmony between the right time and the right place. China's poetry developed into the Tang Dynasty and entered a golden age. As we all know, the culture of the Tang Dynasty was unprecedentedly prosperous. It is in this context that a large number of outstanding poets have been born, including Lu, Lu, Zhou, Luo and so on. Therefore, they are poets who have won this batch of cultural dividends, and the timing is very good.

Second, the background of the times creates creative inspiration. We have to admit that the Tang Dynasty was a very good era, because the national strength of the Tang Dynasty was strong and the people's culture of the Tang Dynasty was very confident. In the Tang Dynasty, cultural self-confidence was mainly divided into two points. One thing is that the cultural atmosphere of the whole country is very warm, and the other thing is that the cultural output is also super strong. In the Tang Dynasty, not only emperors wrote poems, but also princes and generals, civil servants and military commanders, men, women, children and even ordinary people wrote poems. In such a prosperous Tang dynasty, no one's poems are more suitable for description than Li Bai's. Like what? Since God has given talents, let them be used! , spin one thousand silver, all back! ? , or? Go out laughing, are we Artemisia people? , or? Dapeng winds up one day and soars into Wan Li? Wait, these poems deserve to be the strongest sound in the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

Third, personal unique experience. There is a story that in the Ming Dynasty, there was a man named Zheng Shaogu who was a fan of Du Fu and liked Du Fu's poems very much. When he writes poetry, he will deliberately imitate Du Fu's poetic style. But his friend said sarcastically? You haven't experienced Du Fu's sufferings, but you just write poems under the guise of sadness and agitation, just moaning without illness? . This sentence hit the nail on the head. It can be seen that Du Fu lived in an era when the Tang Dynasty turned from prosperity to decline. Du Fu's ideal life at that time was full of troubles and drift from place to place, thus forming his gloomy and frustrated poetic style, which was absolutely beyond the reach of future generations.
