Extended data:
First, style
Li Bai's poetic style is romantic and all-encompassing. He inherited the poetic revolution advocated by Chen Ziang, opposed formalism since Nanqi and Xiao Liang, and swept away the extravagance of writing style since the Southern Dynasties. Both in content and form, Tang poetry has been creatively developed.
Li Shifu's personality is strongly subjective and lyrical, and his content shows the rebellious spirit of despising vulgarity, resisting and not flattering powerful people. He praised the ranger and immortals, and was known as "Poet Xia" and "Poet Fairy", and later generations also called him poet Li Bai.
Shi Li's poems are rich in imagination, peculiar in structure, extremely exaggerated, vivid in metaphor and full of myths and legends.
Li's poems praise magnificent nature, are good at describing and praising mountains and rivers, are bold and unrestrained, and despise meticulous carving and duality arrangement. But with bold and unpredictable techniques and lines, I scribbled my impressions and feelings in my mind, created a unique artistic image and put on an unparalleled style.
Li Bai is good at using the language of Yuefu folk songs, rarely carving, and is natural and frank. The use of Yuefu spirit and folk song language has reached an extremely mature and liberated stage.
Second, the legend
According to Zhu Mu's Yu Fang Sheng Lan in Song Dynasty, Li Bai wanted to give up when he was studying in Xiangershan. After crossing a stream, he saw an old woman grinding an iron pestle and asked her what she was doing. The old woman replied that she wanted to grind it into a needle. So Li Bai realized that learning was as persistent as grinding an iron pestle into a needle, so he went back to study hard.
It is widely rumored that Li Bai was drunk and drowned. Because of this legend, he was honored as Wang Zhiyi, a narcissus in the sea, and believed that Li Bai, a great literary master, could also protect sailors, fishermen and business travelers on the water in another world.
