The fifteen poems Du Fu presented to Li Bai are:
1
I can't see Li Shengjiu. It's sad to be crazy.
the world wants to kill, but I only care for talents.
thousands of agile poems, and a glass of drifting wine.
Kuangshan reading office, it's good to come back with a white head.
translation; I haven't seen Li Bai for a long time. It's sad that he pretends to be wild. All those people in the world are going to kill him, and only I pity him for being a talent. Wensi wrote thousands of poems with agility, and he lost his sorrows and drank only one glass of wine. There is your old home in Kuangshan where you studied. You should come back when your hair is gray.

Li Hou has a beautiful sentence, which is often like Yin Keng.
Yu Yidong is a guest, and he is like a brother.
get drunk and sleep in the autumn, and walk hand in hand with the sun.
I want to live in seclusion, and I also look for Guo Sheng in the north.
Get started with Gao Xingfa, and serve children.
when the scenery falls, you can smell the stockade, and the clouds are opposite to the ancient city.
I've always sung praises to oranges, but who wants to ask for soup?
I don't want to talk about money.
translation; Li Bai often has wonderful poems, which are written as well as Yin Keng, a Southern Dynasty man. I am also a hermit in Lu county, and I love him as if I were my own brother. After getting drunk at night, sleep with the quilt, and play hand in hand during the day. Thinking of a secluded appointment, we went to visit Mr. Fan in the north of the city together.
after entering the door, you will have an elegant interest, and the young boy servants will also make people feel elegant. I don't want to disperse until the sunset is cold and the night clouds cover the ancient city. Just like the people in Kaku Takashina in Ode to Oranges, who would covet the beauty of hometown scenery? We don't want to discuss official career, but we are bathed in pure friendship.

A gift to Li Bai
After two years as a guest in Dongdu, I was tired of being clever.
savages are always hungry for vegetables.
there is no green rice, which makes my color good.
bitter lack of great drug resources, the mountains and forests are like a sweep.
Hou Jin Guiyan, I'd like to discuss the matter of getting away.
There is also a tour of Liang and Song, during which Yao grass is picked up.
translation; During my two years in Dongdu, the wit and dexterity I experienced were the most annoying. I am a folk living in the countryside, but I don't eat smelly beef and mutton, even though I often can't get enough of coarse food. Can't I eat green rice to make my face look better?
I think the most difficult thing is the lack of medicine for refining alchemy. In this deep forest, it seems as if I have swept it with a broom, and even the traces of medicine are gone. You, an outstanding person in the imperial court, left the Golden Horse Gate to seek seclusion alone. I'm going to leave Dongdu and visit Liangsong, and I'll definitely visit you then.
4 "To Li Bai"
Qiu Lai cared for him, but he didn't feel ashamed of Ge Hong for Dan Sha.
drinking crazy songs and living in vain, who is domineering for?
translation; When we leave in autumn, we look at each other and float around like a flying canopy. The cinnabar was not refined into an elixir, and I couldn't help feeling ashamed of Ge Hong. Drinking and singing wildly, wasting your time in vain, for whom is such a heroic person like you so brave?

Song of Eight Immortals in Drinking
Knowing Zhang riding a horse is like taking a boat, dizzy and falling into the water to sleep.
Ruyang's three fights started in the sky, and the road drooled at the mouth of the car.
I hate not to move to Jiuquan, and it will cost me thousands of dollars to become prosperous.
drinking is like a whale sucking a hundred rivers, and a cup of music is called a sage.
The handsome and beautiful boy of Zong Zhi looks up at the sky with his eyes open.
It's as bright as a jade tree before the wind, and before the embroidery Buddha in the Su Jin Dynasty.
Drunkenness often leads to retreat from Zen, and Li Bai has a hundred poems.
Chang' an went to a restaurant to sleep, but the son of heaven didn't get on the boat when he was called.
Claiming to be a fairy in wine, Zhang Xu is a legend of three cups of grass.
before taking off his hat and exposing the top of the maharaja, he waved paper like clouds.
jiao sui's five fights are outstanding, and he talks about the male and distinguishes the four feasts.
translation; He Zhizhang rides a horse after drinking, wobbling, like taking a boat. He fell into the well with dim eyes and fell asleep at the bottom of the well. Li Xian, the king of Ruyang, went to see the son of heaven after drinking three times. On the road, I met a car loaded with distiller's yeast, and the smell of wine made my mouth water. I regret that I couldn't seal it in Jiuquan County, where the water tastes like wine. Li Shi, the left-hand man, does not hesitate to spend thousands of dollars for the daily rise, and drinks like a whale swallowing the water of a hundred rivers.
I claim to raise a glass and drink heavily in order to get rid of political affairs and make way for the virtuous. Cui Zongzhi is a handsome young man. When he drinks a glass, he often looks up to the sky, and his handsome posture is like a well-proportioned tree. Although Su Jin fasted and was vegetarian before the Buddha, he often forgot the Buddhist precepts when he drank wine. Li Bai can make a hundred articles by drinking a bucket. He goes to Chang 'an Street wine shop to drink and often sleeps in restaurants.
The son of heaven had a banquet in the lake and asked him to preface the poem. He refused to get on the boat because he was drunk, claiming to be the fairy of wine. Zhang Xu drank three cups of wine, that is, he wrote a book with a brush, and people called him a sage of grass. He often takes off his hat and bares his head in front of princes and nobles, and writes a hasty book. If God helps him, his book will be like a cloud of smoke on paper. After five glasses of wine, I was refreshed. Talking at a banquet often surprises everyone.

In the past years, there was a fanatic, who was named the immortal.
when the pen falls, it scares the wind and rain, and the poem makes you cry.
from then on, the reputation was great, and it never stopped flowing.
literary talent inherits extraordinary wealth, and it will be spread unsurpassed.
the dragon boat moved late, and the beast won a new robe.
when you come to the temple in the daytime, you will follow in the footsteps of Qingyun.
I beg to return to the superior and make a promise, and I will stay with my relatives.
I don't bear the ambition of seclusion, but I also spoil myself.
the drama talks about pity for the wild, and drinking is naive.
drunken dancing in the garden night, singing in the spring.
talent is high, but the heart does not show, and the road is good.
Mi Heng, Chu Shi, was handsome, while others were born in poverty in Yuan Xian.
When rice is not enough, Coix lachryma slanders He Pin.
the five ridges are steaming the land, and the three dangers banish the ministers.
A few years ago, I was killed by a bird, and I cried to Kirin alone.
Su Wu returned to the Han Dynasty first, and Huang Gong did nothing for Qin.
Chu Yan's speech was a blessing day, and Liang Prison wrote a letter.
the current law has been used, who will explain this?
The old man sings under the autumn moon, and his illness begins at dusk on the riverside.
don't blame me for being separated by waves, taking advantage of it and asking about it.
translation; At that time, there was a free and unrestrained person named Li Bai, who was also called Xianxian. Seeing him put pen to paper, the wind and rain lamented it; Seeing him, ghosts and gods were moved to cry. From then on, the name of Li Bai shook the capital, and the previous difficulties and frustrations were swept away, and he was called into the imperial court by Xuanzong as an academician; His earth-shattering, weeping poems will be passed down from generation to generation.
He went boating with Xuanzong until very late, and was finally given a robe by the emperor. Xuanzong often summoned Li Bai, who was very popular. Later, because he was framed by a traitor, he was given money back and met me on the way. Li Bai didn't hide his lofty aspirations, but he was able to protect himself in different situations of being favored and exiled.
After I met him, Li Bai understood my free and easy, and I also appreciated his magnanimity. We drink and dance in Liangyuan at night and sing in Surabaya in spring. Although the talent is superior, it is useless, and although the morality is lofty, no one understands it. Although his intelligence is comparable to that of Mi Heng in the Eastern Han Dynasty, his fate is like that of poor and frustrated Yuan Xian.
Li Bai must have been forced by life to take refuge in Yongwang. It is said that he received a large sum of money from Yongwang, which is really a rumor. But he was exiled and drifted for a long time. I have been plagued by disasters for several years, and my heart is bound to be sad. Su Wu finally returned to Hanting. Will Huanggong Xia work for the Qin Dynasty? Suffering from the cold shoulder of the monarch, Li Bai also wrote a letter to defend himself.
if Li Bai was made to plead guilty because things were difficult to understand at that time, who can report this matter to the court now? In his later years, Li Bai kept reciting poems, hoping that he would recover soon and write more poems. Don't complain about the emperor's lack of kindness, but write to the court to know the truth.
7 "Memories of Li Bai in Spring"
Bai Ye's poems are invincible.
Qingxin Yu started the government, and Junyi Bao joined the army.
spring trees in Weibei, sunset clouds in Jiangdong.
when to drink wine, pay attention to the details.
translation; Li Bai's works are unmatched, and his superb talents are far beyond the average person. Li Bai's poems have both the freshness of Yu Xin's poems and the elegance of Bao Zhao's works. Now, I am facing the trees in spring alone in Weibei, and you are looking at the dusk in Jiangdong, and you can only miss each other from afar. When can we drink at the same table and discuss our poems carefully again?
8 With Li Bai in Winter
In the lonely study, I end up thinking alone.
Look for the biography of Jiashu, and don't forget the poem of Jiao Gong.
short brown wind and frost come in, but it's too late to return Dan.
I didn't go on a whim, but there was a deer gate period.
translation; Sitting alone in my study, I miss you day and night. Rummage through your articles and recite your poems from time to time. The cold wind and frost invaded my short coat, and the elixir was delayed. I can't leave Chang 'an on the spur of the moment, and the expectation of seclusion in Deer Gate has failed.
9 to li bai at the sky end
a cold wind blows from the far sky, what are you thinking of, old friend?.
the wild geese never answer me, rivers and lakes are flooded with rain.
a poet should beware of prosperity, yet demons can haunt a wanderer.
should * * * ghost language, throw poems to him, where he drowned himself in the Milo River.
translation; The cool wind is blowing from the horizon. What's your mood? I miss it a lot. I wonder when you will receive my letter. I am afraid that the rivers and lakes are sinister and the autumn waters are stormy. Writing is the most taboo for an open life, and the most desirable thing for a traitor is to make mistakes. You share the same fate as Qu Zi, who has been wronged. You should write poems on the Miluo River to tell the grievances and injustices.
1 Two Dreams of Li Bai
there are sobs when death is the cause of parting, but life has its partings again and again.
from the poisonous damps of the southern river, you had sent me not one sign from your exile.
till you came to me last night in a dream, because I am always thinking of you.
I wondered if it were really you, venturing so long a journey.
the soul comes to the maple leaf, you disappeared by a shadowy fortress.
yet out of the midmost mesh of your snare, how could you lift your wings and use them?.
I woke, and the low moon's glimmer on a rafter, seemed to be your face, still floating in the air.
there were waters to cross, they were wild and tossing, there is no one to make Jiao Long.
translation; Parting for death often makes people cry, but leaving is often more sad. The mountains and rivers in the south of the Yangtze River are a popular place. Why is there no news about the people who have been relegated? Old friend, you suddenly came to my dream, because you know I always remember you. Now that you are in prison, how can you fly to this land of the North? I'm afraid you won't be a ghost in your dream. It's a long way to go. Life and death are hard to estimate. The soul floated from the southwest Qingfeng forest, and the soul returned from the black land of Guanshan. The bright moon falls and shines all over the roof beams, and I see your face gaunt in confusion. Please be careful when traveling in deep water and waves, and don't fall into the mouth of the dragon.
11 Two Dreams of Li Bai
this cloud, that has drifted all day through the sky, may, like a wanderer, never come back.
three nights now I have dreamed of you, as tender, intimate and real as though I were awake..
and then, abruptly rising to go, you told me the perils of adventure.
by river and lake-the storms, the wrecks, the fears that are borne on a little boat.
and, here in my doorway, you rubbed your white head, as if there were something puzzling you.
our capital teems with officious people, while you are alone and helpless and poor.
who says that the heavenly net never fails, it has brought you ill fortune, old as you are.
a thousand years' fame, ten thousand years' fame, what good, when you are dead and gone.
translation; Clouds in the sky are floating around day by day, but the old friends who have traveled far away are gone for a long time. I often see you in my dreams at night, which shows your deep affection for me. The difference is that you always look in a hurry and always say how difficult it is to meet each other. Sailing on the rivers and lakes is full of dangerous winds and waves, and I'm worried that your ship will be overturned and sunk. Scratching his white hair when he went out, he regretted living up to his lifelong ambition.
The capital is full of expensive clothes and dignitaries, but your face is haggard. Who can say that justice does not deceive others, but the old age is innocent. Even if there is a reputation that will last for a long time, it is difficult to compensate for the neglect and sorrow.
Why did Du Fu give Li Bai poems?
Li Bai and Du Fu are two famous poets in the Tang Dynasty in China. Li Bai is a "poetic immortal" and Du Fu is a "poetic sage". Both of them are the two peaks of Tang poetry, and they still have a good relationship. Du Fu wrote many poems for Li Bai.
Li Bai is much older than Du Fu, and he belongs to Du Fu's elder. Moreover, Li Bai became famous earlier than Du Fu, and Du Fu admired Li Bai very much, so he wrote many poems for Li Bai.
