8.3 Creative influence
Li Bai has the highest achievements in Yuefu, Gexing and Jueju. His songs completely broke all the inherent forms of poetry creation, with no one to rely on and many strokes, reaching the magical realm of vagaries and swaying. Li Bai's quatrains are natural and lively, elegant and chic, and can express endless feelings in concise and lively language. Among the poets in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, Wang Wei and Meng Haoran were good at the Five Wonders, while Wang Changling and others wrote the Seven Wonders well. Li Bai is the only one who is good at both the Five Odds and the Seven Odds.
Li Bai's poems are magnificent and elegant, and his artistic achievements are extremely high. He eulogized the mountains, rivers and beautiful natural scenery of the motherland, with bold and unrestrained style, beautiful and fresh, full of romantic spirit, and achieved the perfect unity of content and art, so he was called "fallen immortal". His poems mainly described the mountains and rivers and expressed his inner feelings. Li Bai's poems have the artistic charm of "the pen is shaken by the wind and rain, and the poem makes the gods cry", which is also the most distinctive artistic feature in his poems. Li Bai's poems are full of self-expression and subjective lyricism, and the expression of feelings is overwhelming. He and Du Fu are called "Big Du Li" (Li Shangyin and Du Mu are called "Little Du Li").
In Li Bai's poems, imagination, exaggeration, metaphor and personification are often used comprehensively to produce magical brilliance and magnificent artistic conception, which is the reason why Li Bai's romantic poems give people heroic, unrestrained, elegant and immortal.
Li Bai's poems and songs had a far-reaching influence on later generations. Han Yu, Meng Jiao and Li He in the middle Tang Dynasty, Su Shi, Lu You and Xin Qiji in the Song Dynasty, Gao Qi, Yang Shen and Gong Zizhen in the Ming and Qing Dynasties were all greatly influenced by Li Bai's poems. [ 1]
8.4 Poetic style
Li Bai's poetic style is romantic and all-encompassing. He inherited the poetic revolution advocated by Chen Ziang, opposed formalism since Qi and Liang Dynasties, and swept away the weakness and glitz of writing style since the Southern Dynasties. Both in content and form, Tang poetry has been creatively developed. Li Bai's poems are full of individuality and strong subjective lyricism. The content shows the rebellious spirit of vulgarity, resisting not flattering the powerful, praising the ranger and seeking immortality, and is known as "poetic immortal". Li Bai's poems are rich in imagination, peculiar in structure, extremely exaggerated, vivid in metaphor and full of myths and legends.
Li Bai's poems praise the magnificent nature, are good at describing and praising the mountains and rivers of the motherland, are bold and unrestrained, and disdain meticulous carving and dual arrangement. Instead, bold and unpredictable techniques and lines are used to scribble impressions and feelings in your mind, creating a unique artistic image and showing 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.
