Meng Haoran's "Spring Dawn" must have been recited by everyone when they were young. In ancient times, all scholars wanted to be an official in the imperial court and serve the emperor. No one is exceptional, including Meng Haoran. At first, Meng Haoran disdained the imperial examination, thinking that it would make his talents not be brought into full play and always wanted to be recommended by others. However, because no one recommended him later, he had to take part in the imperial examination, but he failed again and again.
On the recommendation of a friend, he was known by the emperor at that time, met Meng Haoran in the court, and asked him to write a poem to test his talent. He wrote a song "On Going to Zhongnanshan at the End of the Year" to express his feelings of incompetence for many years, but he did not expect to offend the emperor. After listening to this, the emperor felt as blind as a bat. In this way, Meng Haoran had to retire from the mountains and concentrate on his creation, but he didn't expect such behavior to be respected by Li Bai.
Then why did he win Li Bai's love by himself? Li Bai is a poet. What does he stand for? Transcendent and refined, I especially like people who are indifferent to fame and fortune. Meng Haoran is like this. Their personalities are also very similar, and they are both free and easy. Li Bai also wrote a poem specially for Meng Haoran, called "Message to Meng Haoran" to express his admiration for Meng Haoran. As a result, Li Bai paid more respect to Meng Haoran in his heart, and in the words of now, he was a fan.
