Du Mu was a figure in the Tang Dynasty. Du Mu, whose real name is Mu Zhi, is known as "Fan Chuan lay man" and has made great achievements in poetry and prose. At that time, he was as famous as Li Shangyin, and because of his conceit, he was also called "Little Du Li" with Li Shangyin. Du Mu's representative works include: A Gong Fang Fu, Red Cliff, Tiaojiang Pavilion, Bo Qinhuai, Jiangnan Spring, Mountain Walk, Autumn Hope in Chang 'an and so on.
The creative characteristics of Du Mu's poetry and prose
1, Du Mu advocates that "everything is based on meaning, supplemented by qi". He has a correct understanding of the relationship between the content and form of his works, and can absorb and melt the strengths of predecessors and form his own special style.
2. In terms of poetry creation, Du Mu's classical poems are influenced by Du Fu and Han Yu, with a wide range of themes and powerful brushwork, while his modern poems are famous for their beautiful words and ups and downs. For example, the seven-law "Early Wild Goose" expresses the nostalgia for people displaced by the Uighur invasion in the northern frontier, which is graceful and memorable.
3. Du Mu's works are influenced by the times and pay attention to rhetoric. This rhetorical similarity, coupled with his personal characteristics of "heroic hair", is beautiful, magnificent and exquisite. For example, his "Climbing the Mountain in Nine Days" is the general trend of poetry in the late Tang Dynasty, which writes his broad-minded mind with bold style and contains deep sadness.
Li Shangyin's introduction:
Li Shangyin (about 8 13 ~ 858), a native of western Henan, was born in Hanoi, Huaizhou (now Qinyang City, Henan Province). A famous poet in the late Tang Dynasty, together with Du Mu, was called "Little Du Li".
In the second year of Kaicheng (837), he became a scholar, became a secretary of provincial studies, and moved to hongnong county, becoming the staff of Wang Maoyuan (father-in-law), the messenger of Jingyuan era. He was involved in the political whirlpool of "the dispute between Niu and Li", was excluded and had a rough life. In his later years, he died in Zhengzhou.
Li Shangyin was one of the few poets who deliberately pursued the beauty of poetry in the late Tang Dynasty and even the whole Tang Dynasty. He is good at poetry writing, and parallel prose has high literary value. His poems are novel in conception and beautiful in style, especially some love poems and untitled poems are touching, beautiful and moving, and are widely read. However, some poems (represented by Jinse) are obscure and inseparable, and there is a saying that "poets always love Quincy and hate that no one writes about Jian Zheng".
