Poetry Sharing —— A Gift for Li Bai

Give it to Li Bai

Du Fu

Qiu Lai is very concerned about him, but he is not ashamed of Ge Hong for cinnabar.

Drinking crazy songs for nothing, who is arrogant?

Li Bai and Du Fu are the most dazzling Gemini in the history of China's poetry. Although they had only a brief intersection in their long life, they established a profound friendship. When they met, Li Bai was 44 and Du Fu was 33. Li Bai just spent three years in Chang 'an, devoted himself to Hanlin, and was given back gold by Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. His poems and his "immortal depravity" Shen Feng are famous all over the world. However, Du Fu has not written most of the poems that established his lofty position in the history of literature. Compared with Li Bai, he is only a young man of literature and art in the poetry circle of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. But the difference in age and fame didn't affect them at all. In the third year of Tianbao (744) and the fourth year of Tianbao (745), they traveled together in today's Henan and Shandong provinces and had a very happy time. This song "To Li Bai" was written when they traveled together again in Tianbao for four years and left.

In the poem, I used Li Bai's poem wine and Qiu Ma's madness to review the happy life. Judging from personality, age, reputation and other aspects, when Du Fu and Li Bai made friends, Li Bai certainly had a greater influence on Du Fu. Li Bai believes in Taoism and accepts it. While traveling with Li Bai, Du Fu also followed Li Bai in the activities of seeking immortality and alchemy. And Li Bai's wild and unruly also deeply infected Du Fu. "Drunk Crazy Song" and "Flying Domineering" are not only about Li Bai, but also the same portrayal of their mental outlook when they travel together.

But Du Fu's thought is Confucian after all, and it was at this time that he gradually matured. He realized that this kind of life could not lead him to the road of making contributions, and he and Li Bai were still like "floating Peng"; The alchemy activity has no results, which is ostensibly "shame" but actually introspection. Both Living in White and Living for Who show his vigilance against this dissolute life.

In fact, Du Fu ended his "Happy 89" roaming shortly after bidding farewell to Li Bai, and went to West Chang 'an to seriously start a long life of seeking fame.
