Li Bai’s travel route and poems are as follows:
Li Bai has been traveling all his life, and his footprints are all over the country. His travel routes are closely linked to his poetry creation, and his poems are full of love for natural scenery, history and culture.
When Li Bai was 25 years old, he took a small boat and traveled eastward along the Yangtze River, reaching Jiangling, Jiangxia, Dongting Lake, Jingmen, Xunyang, Lushan, Tianmen Mountain and other places. In the process, he wrote the famous poems such as "Wanglu Mountain Waterfall" and "Wangtianmen Mountain".
Subsequently, Li Bai went to the southern region and visited Suzhou, Hangzhou, Yangzhou and other places. He lingered in the mountains and rivers of Suzhou and wrote famous works such as "A Night at Niuzhu Nostalgia". In Hangzhou, he was attracted by the beautiful scenery of West Lake and left poems such as "Drinking on the Lake at First Sunny and Later Rain - Two Poems".
In addition to the Yangtze River Basin and the southern region, Li Bai also traveled to the Yellow River, Huaihe River Basin and other places. He once climbed to the top of Huangshan Mountain, marveled at China's magnificent natural scenery, and wrote poems such as "Meeting the Master Fu Dao". Li Bai's travel routes and poetry creation mutually achieved each other, and his poems have become treasures in the history of Chinese literature and have been passed down to this day.
Main influence
Li Bai’s achievements in Yuefu, Ge Xing and Quatrains were the highest. His song lines completely break all the inherent formats of poetry creation, with nothing to rely on, and various brushwork techniques, reaching a magical realm of unpredictable and swaying at will. Li Bai's quatrains are natural, lively, elegant and unrestrained, and can express endless emotions in concise and clear language. Among the poets of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, Wang Wei and Meng Haoran were good at the Five Jue, and Wang Changling and other Qi Jue wrote very well. Li Bai was the only one who was good at both the Five Jue and the Seven Jue and reached the same extreme level.
Li Bai's poems are majestic and elegant, and his artistic achievements are extremely high. He eulogized the mountains, rivers and beautiful natural scenery of the motherland, with a majestic and unrestrained style, handsome and fresh, full of romantic spirit, and achieved the unity of content and art. He was called the "Exiled Immortal" by He Zhizhang, and most of his poems mainly described landscapes and expressed inner emotions.
Li Bai's poems have the artistic charm of "the pen falls in the storm, and the poem becomes the weeping ghosts and gods", which is also the most distinctive artistic feature of his poems. Li Bai's poems are rich in self-expression and have a strong subjective lyrical color, and the expression of emotions has an overwhelming momentum. He and Du Fu are called "Big Li Du" (Li Shangyin and Du Mu are called "Little Li Du").
Li Bai's poems often use imagination, exaggeration, metaphor, personification and other techniques to create magical, magnificent and moving artistic conceptions. This is why Li Bai's romantic poems give people a heroic, unrestrained, elegant and fairy-like feeling. Here's why.
