1. Differences in poetry styles. The dominant style of Li Bai's poetry is elegant and beautiful, while the dominant style of Du Fu's poetry is melancholy, which is reflected in many of their masterpieces. For example, Li Bai's "About to Enter the Wine": "If you don't see it, the water of the Yellow River comes up from the sky and rushes to the sea and never returns!" It fully expresses the momentum and momentum of the Yellow River flowing between heaven and earth. The artistic conception is broad and has extraordinary momentum and Romantic feelings. And Du Fu's "Ascend the High": "The wind is strong and the apes high in the sky are screaming in mourning, and the white birds are flying back in the clear sand of Zhugong." It depicts a bleak autumn scene, with the sky roaring wildly and the apes mourning in the deep valleys. It is thrilling and envelops the whole poem. In the desolate atmosphere, it also reflects the poet's desolate feeling.
2. Differences in poetry and thought
Li Bai and Du Fu were both full of ambitions and wanted to do their part for the country, but they were unsuccessful in their official careers. Such ambitions The unrequited grief, anger and sentimentality are reflected in many of their works, but there are differences between the two: many of Li Bai's poems express the thought of carpe diem; many of Du Fu's poems express the thought of worrying about the country.

The most prominent of the individualistic images created by Li Bai are the flying Dapeng, the roaring Yellow River and the Yangtze River, The mountain peaks that tower over the sky and the waterfalls that flow down from the sky "all have extraordinary spirit, and tortuously express Li Baicheng's passion for breaking through constraints and pursuing freedom, which shows his elegant and unique style"
Du Fu's feelings of concern for his country when he was sad were expressed through objective objects, forming an image with a strong melancholy color
