1. Li Bai’s Romanticism

Li Bai is a famous poet in the Tang Dynasty of my country. His personality and art Personality is often described as romantic, innocent, bold, elegant, self-aware, etc.

Li Bai’s outstanding performance in thought and behavior is his self-immortality, his ability to do whatever he wants, and his sincerity in making friends.

Li Bai used romanticism to express his love for the great rivers and mountains, his yearning for the beautiful fairyland, his contempt for the world, his contempt for the powerful and his pursuit of freedom.

Although the political ideals and political behaviors he pursues lack reality, his special temperament is naturally and frankly expressed in poetry. His natural frankness is not traditional in the art of poetry. He is bound by it and allows his true feelings to be revealed naturally, just like in "Book Huai Presents to Nanling Changzan Mansion" "You see my talent, how can I be like Lu Zhongni", comparing myself to a great sage.

1.1 Li Bai’s boldness and uninhibitedness

The biggest feature of Li Bai’s poetry is “heroism”.

His boldness can be expressed in two aspects. One is that he is so confident in himself that he is a little arrogant, because he has the capital to show his nobility by relying on his talent and arrogance, such as: "An can destroy "My eyebrows are bowed and my waist is bent to serve the powerful, which makes me unhappy."

On the other hand, Li Bai's poetry is magnificent and has a broad artistic conception.

In describing the mountains and rivers in "The Road to Shu is Difficult", he writes, "It's so dangerous to play with a sigh of relief! The road to Shu is as difficult as climbing to the sky...", mostly using neat seven-character and nine-character sentences. The words are changed into rhymes four times at the same time, and the techniques are varied.

Another example is the sentence "I am born with talents that will be useful, and I will come back after all the money I have spent." This sentence is high-spirited and heroic. This is an expression of confidence in oneself and a strong affirmation of oneself and life. Even He Zhizhang was deeply impressed by Li Bai's magnanimity.

In "Drinking with a Quiet Man in the Mountains", he wrote: "The two drank together while the mountain flowers bloomed, one cup after another.

I am drunk and want to sleep, please go away, I will hold the piano in the Ming Dynasty "Come" boldly reveals this undisguised emotion, which constitutes the characteristics of pride and indulgence, and also shows the poet's tenacious life force.

1.2 Li Bai’s elegant beauty

One of the expressions of Li Bai’s elegant beauty is that his language is natural and simple, and the things he chants come out without any embellishment. The specific expression of the language of "carving".

He believes that the highest state of artistic beauty is "innocence". When he eulogizes the mountains, rivers and beautiful natural scenery of the motherland, he does not embellish or hide the true feelings. The style of the poem is majestic and unrestrained, elegant and fresh.

He advocated respecting the poet’s creative personality and believed that the poet’s creative vitality should always reflect his true and simple life in nature and straightforwardness, such as: “The vastness of the blue sky has no bottom, and the sun and moon shine on gold and silver. "The platform", "The neon is the clothes, the wind is the horse, the kings of the clouds are coming and descending one after another", and another example: "The white rabbit makes medicine, autumn returns to spring, who is Chang'e living alone next to? Today's people can't see the moon in ancient times, but this month has been

The ancients and the present are like water flowing, and the moon is like this.

I only wish that the moonlight would always shine in the golden bottle while singing and drinking." This shows the author's broad-mindedness. Broad mind and elegant and unrestrained character.

2. Du Fu’s Realism

Du Fu’s eyes are extremely cold. He always touches people’s softest hearts through their scarred skin without mercy, but Du Fu’s heart is extremely cold. From the lines of his poems, there is sympathy for the people and condemnation of the rulers.

Du Fu’s poems are like expensive and cold lenses, which always faithfully record all kinds of social situations and most truly describe what happens to the little people at the bottom of society.

2.1 Du Fu’s depression

“Depression” refers to the serious subject matter, deep and sincere emotions, and the broad and profound ideological content of the work. “Depression” refers to the deep and profound style of the poems. , the tone of the poem has pauses and turns, and "depressed and frustrated" is used to describe the dominant style of Du Fu's poetry creation.

The "depression" in Du Fu's poems combines sentimentality and thinking. His emotions cannot be exploded and vented, and he can only rely on poetry to penetrate them.

The dull, sad colors and plaintive sentimentality presented by Du Fu in his poems are a way of expressing Du Fu's "depressed and frustrated" poetic style.

He cared about the country and the people throughout his life, intertwined patriotism and loyalty to the emperor, regarded the emperor as the embodiment of the country and the country, pinned all hopes for the success or failure of the country on the emperor, and was blindly loyal to the emperor. , he was still thinking about his ambitions in his early years until his death: "The blood of the war still flows, and the sound of the army is still heard." Just as it was written in "Southern Expedition": "The sick man marched south, and the kindness of the king looked north to his heart." The poet passed away The year before, when he was ill and wandering, he was still grateful and loyal to the emperor. No matter in good times or bad, he always hoped to assist the king as a prime minister.

Just as he described in "Spring View", "The hairpin is shorter and the hairpin is more lustful", wars continue, letters home cannot be sent back, and in the end, no matter whether it is victory or defeat, the war is bitter. They are all common people.

Poetry is a true portrayal of history, just like the poet's eyes and ears, and Du Fu's poems are the bridge of history.

His "depressed" poetic style transformed into sad characters, which reflected his love for the country and the people. It also made the glorious era of Tang poetry possible and left behind poems worthy of praise for future generations.

2.2 Du Fu’s Ode to History and Reminisce about the Past

Du Fu focuses on “joining the world” more than realism.

He experienced the great changes in the Tang Dynasty's prosperity and decline. The turbulent life caused hard-to-heal wounds to his body and mind. He included the rapid decline of the times from prosperity to decline in his writings, reflecting in addition to the It reflects social injustice and the tragic hardships of life, and plays a role in expressing feelings or admonishing politics.

Just like what is described in "The Troops and Chariots", "If you don't see me, I'll be in Qinghai. No one has collected the ancient bones. New ghosts are annoying and old ghosts are crying, and the sky is cloudy, rainy and wet." The theme of this poem is the farewell of conscripts. , the emotions are embodied in the narrative. In the narrative, Zhang Xi changes in an orderly manner, echoes back and forth, and is rigorous and meticulous. The words of the poem are mixed with each other, the rhymes and feet are interchanged, the tone is ups and downs, and the emotion is high and low.

Du Fu had the grand ambition of "bringing the emperors to Yao and Shun, and then making customs pure." He sympathized with the people, and was even willing to make self-sacrifice to relieve the people's suffering.

The hardship of life in the turmoil made Du Fu always worried about whether his wife and children could live a happy life, and he was sad and painful when his children starved and even died.

For example, poems such as "Northern Expedition" and "Recounting Memories" express the poet's deep flesh-and-blood affection.

3. Summary

On the basis of inheriting the excellent traditions of his predecessors, Li Bai further developed the artistic characteristics of ancient Chinese poetry and formed his own unique poetry style, especially romanticism. The technique of expression makes his poems full of strong subjective color of self-expression.

For example, Li Bai wrote in "A Letter to Du Fu from the Sand Dune City": "What happened to me when I came to lie high in the Sand Dune City.

There are ancient trees beside the city, and the sound of autumn continues day and night.

Don’t get drunk with Lu wine, singing songs together will restore your love.

Thinking of the king is like Wen Shui, sending a mighty expedition to the south."

When Li Bai started writing, he asked, "Why did I come here?" and replied, "Lying high by the sand dunes." However, when Du Fu started writing, he first asked, "What do you think, gentleman?" When it comes to Yan Ji, ask him first, which shows Li Bai's strong self-expression.

Du Fu and Li Bai’s legendary life experience is different. Du Fu was born in a scholarly family and was a loyal Confucian disciple. His education was about family, country, world, monarch, minister, father and son, so he did not have Li Bai’s transcendent immortality. , he truly lived in the land of Datang and loved this land deeply.

Comparing Li Bai's "Thinking of you as if you were on the Wen River, sending a mighty expedition to the south" with Du Fu's "In ancient times, I shed tears on the brocade water, which is better than the Yandui in Qutang". One is handsome and quick, the other is serious and sincere. The difference in Qi is clearly visible.

If Li Bai’s life is like wine, strong wine, wandering between heaven and earth with a strong posture, then Du Fu’s life is like water, the ubiquitous water in various forms, Du Fu’s true Doing good is like water falling, it is the arrangement of fate.

His calmness and depression are like the wind from Siberia, biting cold, its sharpness never bothers to hide, but it is because of its existence that people will believe that spring will never come. It will be far away, but hidden under the ice is hope.

The poetry styles of Li Bai and Du Fu 2

In the "Summary of Tang Poetry", it is said: "Between Kaiyuan and Tianbao, there is the elegance of Li Hanlin and the gloominess of Du Gongbu."

Hu Yinglin also said something similar in "Shi Sou": "Li Du and Duke Cheng are powerful enemies, Du Ling is gloomy and majestic, and Taibai is heroic and elegant." In short, no matter how people evaluate and compare The poetic styles of Li and Du are always inseparable from Li Shizhi's "elegant" style and Du Shizhi's "melancholy" artistic creation style.

"Elegance" is in the words of Mr. Fang Rixi: "The reflection of Lao-Zhuang's thoughts on artistic taste shows the artistic realm of being free and easy and free from the secular world. The emphasis is on elegance, with "The transcendent and mundane deity", but Mr. Wu Benxing believes that elegance is the overall impression of three-dimensionality and action shown in the poem that cannot be painted by painters or photographed by photographers.

Due to Li Bai's bold and uninhibited character, his poems are characterized by boldness, unrestrainedness and leisurely style.

The poet is good at eloquence, and his writing often presents a lively and elegant mood.

"I'll leave as soon as I'm drunk and want to sleep, and I'll come with my qin in the Ming Dynasty" ("Drinking with a Hidden Man in the Mountains") is a true portrayal of his frank character.

Obviously, his free expression of "three shouts of support for the pen, without adding any points to the text" is not the same as Du Fu's "two sentences are obtained in three years, and one chant brings tears to the eyes". Language of `.

Li Bai showed his distinctive uniqueness with strong subjective color and romantic sentiment. He was always very confident when expressing his ideals: "I am born with talents that will be useful, and I will come back after all my money is gone." ", "There will be times when the wind breaks through the waves, and the clouds and sails will sail straight across the sea"; when expressing his anger, he is even more wild: "One wind blows down the mountain in three days"; when he misses his friends, he will say: "The strong wind blows my heart, and the Xianyang tree hangs in the west"; when he is not successful in politics, he cannot control the anger in his heart, and he will shout loudly: "The road is like the blue sky, I alone cannot get it!" The above poems all show a kind of emotion. Wild and uninhibited, Xiao is proud of Cangzhou's spirit and character.

Du Fu’s poems express more emotions and concerns about the rise and fall of the country and nation. The poet was deeply influenced by the Confucian thought of “helping the times and benefiting the world”, so his poems more reflected the people’s The suffering and the darkness of reality are the core reflections of his thoughts.

When he witnessed the fall of Chang'an and the country's ruined city, he wrote "Spring Outlook" in an impassioned tone, thus expressing the poet's anxiety about the country. However, when he heard about the situation in northern Jiangsu When he received this good news, he was extremely happy and wrote his "first quick poem in his life" - "Hearing that the Army Takes Henan and Hebei".

The whole poem reveals the poet's surprise when he first heard the good news.

When Li Bai criticized the Anshi Rebellion, he cried out sadly, "The bones are turned into hills, how can the common people be guilty?" This showed his heroic subjective color and romantic sentiment, which was in strong contrast to Du Fu's calmness and coolness.

The rapidity of Li Bai's poetic imagery, the unusual expression of emotions, and the exaggeration of techniques are unparalleled by Du Fu and other poets of his generation.

In "About to Enter the Wine", the poet said, "Don't you see, the bright mirror in the high hall has sad white hair, the morning is like blue silk and it turns to snow at dusk! If you are proud of life, you must enjoy it to the fullest, and don't let the golden bottle stand empty against the moon." This poem The word "sad" triggered the images of "green hair" and "snow". Facing the eternal nature, the poet expressed his inner sadness. Life is so short and the years are so fleeting.

But this emotion and sigh soon turned into a poem about drinking happily: "If you are proud of life, you must have all the joy, and don't let the golden bottle stand empty against the moon."

This shows that Li Bai's emotional changes are unusual, and the large jump span of his images is an important factor in the formation of his elegant style.

In his "Xuanzhou Xieloujie Farewell School Secretary Shuyun", the poet mainly uses jumping structures, which makes people feel ecstatic when reading. There are a lot of blank spaces in the poem, waiting for readers to read it. Fill up, so that people can understand Li Bai's elegant style.

Du Fu is different from Li Bai. His life experiences and the "troublesome" era background he lived in created the main aspects of his character and the main style of his creation.

Although the events in his poems are ordinary, the emotions are extremely deep. For example, "Ascending", which was once hailed as "the masterpiece of the times", describes the boundless autumn scenery, the endless Yangtze River and the poet's journey. The image of loneliness expresses his complex emotions of sadness and shows the poet's broad mind and deep worries.

"The endless falling trees rustle, and the endless Yangtze River rolls in." The poet wrote about the autumn scenery by the river to express the sadness that filled his heart.

His poems are "profound in content, majestic in artistic conception, deep in emotion, and expressive in expressions and songs with euphemisms."

National crisis, social turmoil, people's difficulties and personal experiences form the main content of his poetry.

One of "Three Poems on Qiang Village" describes the poet's return after a long absence. Although the length is short, the emotion is so clear and powerful that reading it can't help but make people sigh deeply. "The world is in chaos, and survival happens by chance." Who can not "sigh and lament" this kind of joy of escaping from death? Of course, the excitement of "the night is still full of candles, and it feels like a dream" Imagined.

It can be said that the poet was lucky at that time, but what kind of feelings should he place on the thousands of people who left their hometowns during that era? This is a question worth pondering.

Du Fu’s deep sympathy for the people and anger towards the rulers are deeply expressed in his poems.

"In his poor years, he worries about Li Yuan and sighs at the heat in his intestines." He cares about the people more than he cares about himself; "Whenever I suddenly see this house in front of me, it's enough for my house to be broken down and freeze to death." He would rather be frozen himself, but also want everyone in the world to be warm. His criticism of the rulers is even more profound and infuriating, "The wine and meat in the Zhumen are smelly, and the roads are smelly." "The bones are frozen to death." The poet used his melancholy style to write about the sharp contradictions of the dark society.

Through his profound understanding of social reality, Du Fu created a large number of poems to express his concern about the current situation, and combined his worries about the country and the current times with his own pain of having ambitions and difficulties and having no way to serve the country. The intertwining of poems and poems shows his concern for the future of the country and the destiny of the people. He uses the description of the scenery to express his enthusiasm for the country and the people, euphemistically and implicitly, making it easy for readers to see the hidden pain and suffering in the poem. Feelings of sadness.

"The flowers burst into tears when feeling the time, and the birds are frightened when they hate each other." These poems are all filled with the emotion of "the country is broken by mountains and rivers, and the city is full of spring grass and trees", and the feeling of worrying about the country and the people is vividly expressed on the paper.

I think the overall impression of Li Bai's elegant sense of subjectivity and sense of action mentioned by Mr. Wu Benxing is indeed something that painters cannot paint and photographers cannot photograph.

As for what is the sense of movement and three-dimensionality in poetry, Mr. Wu believes that "the setting sun and the solitary owl fly together, the autumn water and the long sky are the same color" can be used as its standard answer.

The flowing and concrete pictures shown in Li Bai's poems give people a feeling of being imaginative, making the readers seem to be in it, and keep pace with the poet in the beauty of floating and coming out of the dust. In the realm.

"Early Departure from Baidi City" is a work written by Li Bai after he was demoted to Yelang and was pardoned on the way. "The white emperor's speech to the court is among the colorful clouds, and thousands of miles of rivers and tombs are returned in one day", which shows the poet's relaxed and relaxed mood. I think the joyful mood of the poet at that time is comparable to Du Fu's joy and excitement of "the world is in chaos, and survival happens by chance", and "the sword suddenly spreads Jibei, and the clothes are filled with tears after hearing it for the first time".

The only difference is that the former has a strong self-subjective sentiment, while the latter has a strong sense of worry.

In short, the elegance of the poet Li Bai makes us endless aftertaste, and the melancholy of the poet Du Fu makes us sad. The two complement each other and represent the strongest voice of Tang Dynasty poetry. They are indeed worthy of being called Han Yu said in "Tiao Zhang Ji": "Li Du's articles are as bright as ever."

Similarities and differences in the poetic styles and aesthetic pursuits of Li Bai and Du Fu 3

Abstract: Li Bai and Du Fu are known as the great twins of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, and their poetry creations are admired and praised by future generations. , left many immortal poetic works, representing the highest achievement of Tang Dynasty literature.

The poems of Li and Du both reflect their patriotism, their deep concern for the suffering of the people, and their lament for their own fate and future.

This article analyzes the similarities and differences in the poetry styles and aesthetic pursuits of Li Bai and Du Fu from the aspects of their era, birth, family, thoughts, and personality.

Keywords: Li Bai, Du Fu; poetic style; aesthetic pursuit; similarities and differences

The era that Li Bai and Du Fu lived in was a period when the Tang Dynasty turned from prosperity to decline. Their poetic works It is a very typical expression of the characteristics of the times at that time. The prosperity of the early Tang Dynasty and the later national crisis and tragedy are all flowing through the two men's pens, showing the soul-stirring artistic charm.

Of course, due to the influence of factors such as the different families where Li and Du were born, differences in ideological influence, differences in personality, etc., they formed completely different poetic artistic styles and aesthetic pursuits.

Comparison of poetry styles

First of all, the formation of the two poetry styles was affected by their family births to a certain extent.

Li Bai has been eager to learn and work hard since he was a child, and he can be said to be well-read: "When he was five years old, he recited Liujia, and when he was ten years old, he observed hundreds of schools of thought. Since Xuanyuan, he has heard a lot about it.

Changheng Sutra books, production Tireless" ("History of Shang'an Prefecture Pei Chang").

This gave Li Bai a strong positive spirit, full of self-confidence, and eager to use his talents to achieve a career.

He has loved traveling among mountains and rivers since he was a boy, which makes many of his poems free and unrestrained and full of romanticism.

"Singing to be comforted by drunkenness, dancing to win the glory of the setting sun ("The Children of Nanling Farewell to Beijing")", that kind of lofty sentiments after drinking is a charm that is difficult for others to match.

Du Fu was born into a family of officials who "followed Confucianism and guarded officials", so he regarded being an official and writing poetry as his family business.

He has been on the move throughout his life and has suffered a lot in the world, so he is very aware of the suffering of the people and has humanitarian concern.

His poems contain a kind of deep sorrow, "I meditate on the unemployed, because I miss the garrison soldiers far away."

To lure the end of Qi Zhongnan, why do you have to live in bed? D invades Zhilong and says that you are about to reveal your plans for Nuo Zhan's teachings.

Furthermore, Du Fu also traveled to many regions and mountains and rivers, but most of the time he was wandering around in bumps. Compared with Li Bai's free and easy style, Du Fu's poems often show his majestic atmosphere. His rich life experience makes him deeper and more stable. He uses delicate and smooth brushwork and inner emotions to express the heroic spirit of his poems. "You Gong The situation far away is incomparable, but the situation close at hand should be measured thousands of miles away" ("Title of Wang Zai's Painting of Landscape Pictures and Songs").

It is unforgettable.

Li Bai and Du Fu are very similar. One thing is that they were all influenced by the culture of ethnic minorities and Taoist culture. Among the outstanding poems in their lives, there are many works that show the cultural life of ethnic minorities and Taoist culture.

Li Bai made many friends. Many of his friends are descendants of ethnic minorities or friends with ethnic minority ancestry. Coupled with the influence of family education and the time and geographical living environment, Li Bai has been influenced by the rich and colorful ethnic minority culture since he was a child.

This made Li Bai full of chivalrous and heroic spirit, and his poems were also vigorous, heroic, masculine and strong.

His "History of Pei Chang of Shang'an Prefecture" wrote: "In the past, I was a friend in Shu. Wu Guanzhang traveled to Chu with him, and Yuanzhang died in the Dongting. Baitan was wailing in mourning... He carried him when he was up and down, and showed great skill, so he was buried in the east of E city with a loan."

He The shocking chivalrous heart is vividly reflected.

Read "Watching the Hu People Play the Flute" again: "The Hu people played the jade flute, and half of it was the sound of Qin.

"At dawn in Wushan in October, plum blossoms fall in Jingting Pavilion", "Take off my hat and smile to you."

"Drink your wine and sing for you ("Song of Fufeng Heroes")", Li Bai's profound cultural heritage and his absorption and integration of the cultures of various ethnic groups are subtly reflected, forming his unique poetry Style.

As a representative poet who had a profound influence on later generations, Du Fu widely absorbed the cultural essence of various ethnic groups, and while accumulating them, he also constantly created and changed.

Du Fu was influenced by Confucian culture since he was a child, so an inclusive form was formed in his cultural system.

He advocated the friendly coexistence of all ethnic groups, opposed militarism, and broke through the Confucian "strictness between Hua and Yi." The narrow-mindedness of "change".

Many of his poems reflect the broad-mindedness of national equality and opposition to war.

"Sending Helan" laments the sadness of separation in troubled times. After listening to the national After the music, he wrote the bitter cold sadness of "Night Smell V Zhen" and Du Fu's love for minority culture in "Five Poems on the Autumn Wilderness", which very well expresses the poet's style and ideas.

Taoist culture in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. It was particularly praised during the period, and the poetry works of Li Bai and Du Fu were also deeply influenced by it.

They both read hundreds of schools of thought and three graves and five classics, including Confucian classics and of course a large number of Taoism.

These classic Taoist thoughts have silently influenced the creation of Li and Du's works.

Many of their poems express their love for freedom and ideals. The pursuit of detachment and resistance to feudal ethics

In addition, the poems of Li Bai and Du Fu also absorbed many creative themes and materials from Taoist classics and culture, which enriched their creative techniques. Li Du's poems are more lively, imaginative and active in literary thought.

Li Bai's "Dream Wandering Tianmu's Song of Farewell" contains a large number of Taoist cultural elements, myths and legends, and special scenic spots, which give people a sense of wonder. It feels like being in a fairyland.

There are countless similar works in Li Bai's poetry anthology. Another example is "The White Emperor's gold essence transports vitality, and the stone makes the lotus clouds make the platform ("Xiyue Yuntai Song Sends Dan Qiuzi")", we can all read it. It shows the shadow of Taoist culture in Li Bai's poems, and the fresh, natural, elegant and beautiful poetry style touches people's hearts.

Du Fu’s poems reflect his love for the country and the people, his love for nature and mountains and rivers, and his infinite pursuit of a secluded life. He also sees the role of Taoist culture on him.

"One heavy one covers my heart, and I am my friend in the mountains, birds, and flowers" ("A Trip to Two Temples in Daolin, Yuelu Mountain"), which shows his infinite love for nature.

Comparison of aesthetic pursuits

One of Li Bai and Du Fu is revered as the "Immortal of Poetry" and the other is regarded as the "Sage of Poetry". Their poems have similarities and differences in their poetic styles. , there are also similarities and differences in aesthetic pursuits.

First of all, let’s talk about Li Bai.

Why do Li Bai’s poems have such great charm and can be circulated for thousands of years and still remain enduring? What is very important is that the dazzling light exuded by the aesthetic thoughts in his poems attracts future generations.

Li Bai’s living environment, characteristics of the times, thoughts and other factors not only affected the development of his character and the formation of his poetic style, but also subtly affected his pursuit of poetic aesthetics.

Li Bai’s poems present to us the feelings of self-confidence and boldness, optimism, love for the country and the country, and lofty political ambitions. This is an outstanding embodiment of the atmosphere of the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

The poet's pursuit of lofty goals is gushing out. This is a kind of beauty of character and the core of Li Bai's aesthetic pursuit.

The poem "Dai Shoushan's Reply to Meng Shaofu's Transfer of Documents" expresses Li Bai's grand ideal of saving the world.

Li Bai often used chanting swords to express his character and his ambition to be unwilling to be mediocre: "Following the sword and chanting at night, the ambition is thousands of miles away" (Part 2 of "Gift to Zhang Xianghao").

When analyzing the poetry style, we have learned that Li Bai has been influenced by Confucian and Taoist culture since childhood. These two philosophical thoughts are deeply imprinted in Li Bai’s poetic aesthetic creation, which also makes his poetry It contains magnificent horses and unparalleled beauty.

Li Bai’s poems often contain magical legends, rich metaphors, bold imaginations, and amazing extraterrestrial objects, which make people feel fairy-like.

His profound cultural heritage and broad mind also make his poetry works fascinating.

One of the classic works should be "The Road to Shu is Difficult". The whole poem's precise description of the Road to Shu fully reveals the majesty, wonder and danger of the Road to Shu. In the poem, he The combination of historical stories and myths and legends shows the unique beauty of the magnificent horse.

Perhaps due to the many places he has traveled, or perhaps due to his own experience, Li Bai paid great attention to showing the ever-changing aesthetic thoughts when writing poems.

He is good at using rhetorical techniques to let strange images flow into his words, "raising glasses to invite the bright moon, facing the shadow of three people" ("Drinking Alone under the Moon"), "the Yellow River falls into the sky and flows The East China Sea, thousands of miles are written in the mind" ("Gift to Pei 14th"), are quite interesting imaginations.

Furthermore, "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" ("Will Enter the Wine"), and the emotional expression in "The Road to Shu is Difficult" are like rushing water. The same pouring, mighty.

Let’s talk about Du Fu. Because Du Fu experienced social turmoil and experienced the hardships of life, his poems often reflect a deep and profound aesthetic thought, which is far-reaching.

Volume 1 of Chen Tingzhuo's "Bai Yuzhai Ci Hua" writes: "The so-called melancholy means that the intention is first in writing, and the mind is beyond the imagination...the desire is not revealed, the lingering is repeated, and in the end it is not allowed to say anything.

"It is not only about his high physique, but also about his strong temperament."

Isn’t it the melancholy beauty of Du Fu’s poems that we are talking about? “The wind is strong and the apes are screaming in mourning, and the white birds are flying back from the clear sand in the sky” (“Ascending”), “The stone springs are flowing over the dark wall, and the grass is dripping with dew. Autumn Roots" ("Sunset"), showing its beauty.

Taoist and Confucian thoughts also had a certain influence on Du Fu’s aesthetic pursuit.

In the pursuit of aesthetics, Confucianism emphasizes "goodness and beauty", while Taoism emphasizes more on the "true beauty" of natural attributes. From the philosophical concept, it is the so-called "implicit beauty".

In Du Fu’s poetry creation, there is no doubt that this aesthetic concept exists.

The aesthetic ideas that are very prominent in Du Fu’s poems still have ups and downs.

After reading his poems, it is not difficult to find that the twists and turns like the eighteen turns of a mountain road and the majesty of the Yellow River run through the lines of his words.

His "Three Officials" and "Three Farewells" use a variety of writing techniques and are varied.

He often uses the "suspense method" of "Historical Records" and does not write who and why at the beginning.

Write until later and then reveal it at the end, forming an ups and downs trend, which makes the poetic language full of tension and impressive.

"Chongqing Wangshu's Nephew's Commentary on the Affairs of Nanhai" and "Beauty's Journey" are all representative works.

The poems of Li Bai and Du Fu have their own uniqueness in terms of artistic style and aesthetic pursuit. Their works are like the vast stars in the sky, dazzling and eye-catching.

Their artistic achievements in poetry have also had a profound impact on future generations. They are a very precious cultural heritage of our country and have made great contributions to the further development of poetry.
