Li Bai and Du Fu appreciate each other's friendship and mutual appreciation. Because Li Bai is older than Du Fu, they may have forgotten each other. Li Bai and Du Fu were the most famous and influential poets in ancient China. They are all poets in the Tang Dynasty, collectively known as "Da Du Li".

Li Bai is open and wild, while Du Fu is restrained and forbearing. Their personalities are very different and their styles are diametrically opposed. At that time, Li Bai was very famous in the Tang Dynasty. Du Fu's fame is much less than Li Bai's, and even Li Bai disdains to write poems. For this reason, Li Bai once wrote a poem "Fan Keshan" to satirize Du Fu.

It was not until Yuan Mo wrote a review for Du Fu that his poems attracted people's attention. Although their poetic styles are different, their ways of death are strikingly similar, all related to water. Li Bai lived in Tushan in his later years. I accidentally fell into the lake and drowned because I drank too much while watching the moon at night.

Later generations said that he died in memory of him, which is contrary to historical facts. Du Fu left Sichuan and went to Weiyang, Hunan, to join his friends. Just as the storm and flood happened, the river surged, and he was trapped on the boat for more than ten days without eating.

Later, after learning the news, Nie, the Weiyang magistrate, personally sent Du Fu to the county government to stew a pot of beef and warm a pot of wine for him. He died in the morning at the age of 59 because of overeating and overeating.
