Li Yong is the son of Shan Li, a bachelor of arts. Li Yong is also a well-known scholar admired by the world. However, ordinary literati were arrogant and generally didn't get along well in the imperial court, so Li Yong was also demoted. Li Yong likes making friends very much. Du Fu, a famous poet in Tang Dynasty, had a very good relationship with them. They often sing and discuss poetry together.
When Li Yong was in Yuzhou, Li Bai had already heard that Li Yong was very talented, so Li Bai specially visited Li Yong. When Li Yong and Li Bai talked about different ideas in their poems, they actually had arguments. As a senior official, Li Yong naturally has a condescending attitude towards people. Li Bai was criticized at that time, and Li Bai was somewhat unconvinced. I also gave you a poem by Li Yong. At the same time, Li Bai also wants to show his talent.
The first two sentences of this poem are: Dapeng rises nine thousand miles a day with the wind, and if the wind breaks, it can still lift water. Li Bai compared himself to a Dapeng bird, taking off in the wind and soaring into the sky. Li Bai also compared himself to a surging river, which is bound to set off big waves in the future. From these poems, we can see that Li Bai is a very ambitious person. Li Bai firmly believes that he can get ahead one day.
When the world saw my unchanging tone, they all sneered at my next words. These are the last two sentences, which say that the afterlife is awesome, and each generation is stronger than the next, and one day he will be as good as Li Yong! Later, Li Bai became a famous poet in the Tang Dynasty and wrote many famous poems. The song he wrote to Li Yong later became a masterpiece!
