Most of Li Bai's growing environment is in Changzhi, Shanxi and its liberated areas. The colorful cultural and artistic activities here have enabled Li Bai to have a profound understanding and experience of culture, and also formed his mellow and rich literary spirit attitude. In his youth, Li Bai studied under the teacher, appreciated and evaluated the traditional works of ancient poets, made friends with poets, discussed ways to create noble and beautiful literature with each other, and learned social problems with wisdom. Therefore, this social and cultural environment has had an indelible impact on Li Bai's growth.
Li Bai's works are rich in imagination, romantic and unrestrained, unique in artistic conception and brilliant, and his artistic achievements in poetry are known as the peak of China's romantic poetry. His main achievements are as follows:
I. Poetry
Li Bai's best genre is seven-character poems and quatrains. Li Bai's seven-character song also adopts the structure of opening, closing, jumping and swinging. The beginning of a poem is often abrupt, such as sudden surge, while the middle image of the poem changes suddenly, which often omits the transitional care and has no trace to follow, and the end of the poem mostly ends with the emotional climax in summer.
Li Bai's quatrains of five or seven words can better represent the fresh and lively style of his poems. For example, the beauty of "Come to Baidicheng early", "Farewell to Meng Haoran on the way to Yangzhou" and "Thinking of a Quiet Night" lies in "only looking at the prospect and spoken language, but there are overtones and foreign flavors that keep people away." (On "Speaking Poems and Spitting Words")
The language of Li Bai's poetry, some fresh as spoken language, some bold, informal and close to prose, is unified in the natural beauty of "clear water produces hibiscus, natural carving" This is related to his conscious pursuit of natural beauty. The natural beauty of his poetic language is the result of his careful study of folk songs and his understanding of popular characteristics, which is clear as words, popular and vivid.
