Brief introduction of Li Bai

Li Bai (71-762), whose name was Taibai, was a poet of the Tang Dynasty in China, and was born in Changlong County, Mianzhou, Jiannan Province (now Jiangyou, Sichuan Province). He claimed that his ancestral home was in Chengji, Longxi (now Qin 'an County, Tianshui City, Gansu Province), and said that Guo Moruo had verified that Li Bai, a great poet of the Tang Dynasty, was born in the broken leaf river in Kyrgyzstan.

Known as "Poet Fairy", "Poet Hero", "Brewmaster" and "Exiled Immortal", he is the most outstanding poet in the prosperous Tang Dynasty and the greatest romantic poet in China history. Li Bai and Du Fu are collectively called "Li Du". Meng Haoran called it an immortal in the sky.

Tang Wenzong's poems and songs of Li Bai, Pei Min's sword dance and Zhang Xu's cursive script are called "Three Musts".

In the Tang Dynasty, Li Bai's poems and songs have been selected into the Collection of Heyue Yingling compiled by Yin Gan, The Tang Dynasty Written by Tang Dynasty and Selected Poems by Tang Dynasty, The Collection of Youxuan compiled by Wei Zhuang and The Collection of Talents compiled by Wei Gan.

The works are rich in imagination, romantic and unrestrained, unique in artistic conception and full of talents; Poems flow freely and naturally. Li Bai's poems have been handed down for thousands of years, and many poems have become classics, such as "but since water still flows, though we cut it with our swords, raising a glass to eliminate sorrow is even more worrying". Li Bai's artistic achievements in poetry are regarded as the pinnacle of China's romantic poetry. Li Bai's poems are included in volumes 161 to 185 in the whole Tang poetry. There is Li Taibai Collection handed down from generation to generation.

Du Fu once commented on Li Bai's articles as follows: "The pen falls to shock the wind and rain, and the poem makes the gods cry", "Bai Ye's poems are invincible, and he is full of thoughts".

On March 21st, 215, World Poetry Day, the United Nations Postal Service issued a set of stamps, which selected representative poems in six different languages, namely English, Spanish, Chinese, French, Arabic and Russian, and presented them on the stamp screen. Chinese poetry is selected from Li Bai's Thoughts on a Quiet Night.

works

Li Bai wrote a large number of poems in his life, most of which have been lost, and only more than 9 poems have been circulated so far. The themes of China's classical poems involved in his poetry creation are very extensive, and there are masterpieces in many themes. Moreover, because of the different fate, the poetic style of each period is different.

Style

Li Bai's poetic style is romantic and all-encompassing. He inherits the poetic revolution advocated by Chen Ziang, opposes formalism since the Southern Qi Dynasty and Xiao Liang Dynasty, and sweeps away the weak and extravagant style of writing since the Southern Dynasties. No matter in content or form, Tang poetry has been creatively developed.

Li Shifu's personality is strongly subjective and lyrical. His content shows the rebellious spirit of despising vulgarity, resisting and not flattering powerful people. He praises the ranger and the immortal way, and is known as the "poetic fairy", which is also called Li Bai in later generations.

Li's poems are rich in imagination, peculiar in structure, extremely exaggerated, vivid in metaphor and full of myths and legends.

Li's poems sing magnificent nature, and are good at describing and singing the mountains and rivers of the motherland. He is bold and unrestrained, and disdains subtle carving and dual arrangement. Instead, he uses bold and unpredictable techniques and lines to scribble impressions and feelings in his mind, creating a vivid image of art and an incomparable 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.

a brief introduction of su Shi

su Shi (January 8, 137-August 24, 111) was born with the word zi Zhan, the word he zhong, and the name Dongpo lay man. Meishan, Meizhou (now Meishan, Sichuan) was a writer in the Northern Song Dynasty. His achievements in poetry, ci, fu and prose are extremely high, and he is good at calligraphy and painting. He is a rare all-rounder in the history of literature and art in China, and he is also recognized as one of the most outstanding literary and artistic attainments in China for thousands of years.

it was one of the eight famous poets in Tang and Song Dynasties. Sloan prose and Ouyang Xiu are also called Europe and the Soviet Union; Poetry and Huang Tingjian are called Su Huang, and Lu You is called Sulu; Ci and Xin Qiji are called Su Xin; Calligraphy ranks first among the four great calligraphers "Song Sijia" in the Northern Song Dynasty: Su, Huang, Mi and Cai. His paintings created the Huzhou School of Painting. Because there are many articles and words in his works, the examination of his essay proposition often appears in the scientific research in Song Dynasty.

Therefore, scholars said, "Su Wen is ripe, eating mutton, Su Wensheng and vegetable soup". In the Southern Song Dynasty, filial piety was given to posthumous title Wenzhonggong for six years on the main road, and the Complete Works of Su Wenzhonggong was written by Wang Zongji, a poet of the Song Dynasty.

During the political reform of Wang Anshi, the prime minister in power at that time, Su Shi was in favor of the political reform but opposed some of Wang Anshi's methods and policies, which made Wang Anshi and other reformers reject Su Shi politically, and angered the old school headed by Sima Guang because of his support for the political reform. Su Shi, as a middle line, did not please, and was dubbed as "a belly out of place".

Life

Initiated the style of "bold school" in ci, and changed the magnificent ci style since the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties. Su Shi's ancient prose is also very famous, known as "Han Chao Su Hai", just like Han Yu, the master of ancient prose. Together with his father Su Xun and his younger brother Su Zhe, they are called "Sansu", and they are three fathers and sons, and they are also among the top eight classical Chinese writers in Tang and Song Dynasties. He is the author of Complete Works of Dongpo and Poem Collection of Dongpo Yuefu.

Poetic Style

Su Shi's Gongshi poems, together with Huang Tingjian, are called "Su Huang". There are about 2,7 existing poems, and their poems are broad in content and diverse in style, and they are mainly bold. What has the greatest influence on future generations is also the poems that express the feelings of life and sing the natural scenery, which show the characteristics of emphasizing reason and interest and being talkative in Song poetry. "Rain after Drinking Chu Qing on the Lake" describes the beauty of the West Lake: "The water is bright and sunny, and the mountains are empty and rainy. If you want to compare the West Lake to the West Lake, it is always appropriate to make up lightly. "

In late spring of the fourth year of Yuanfeng, Dongpo wrote a poem on Huangzhou Cold Food. This post is two five-character ancient styles, with gloomy and vigorous poems, low sighs and great appeal. His calligraphy is vigorous and magnificent, which has a great influence in the history of calligraphy. Later generations are praised as "the third running script in the world" after the preface to Lanting and the manuscript of mourning for the nephew.

Huang tingjian wrote an inscription after this post: "Dongpo's poem is like Li Taibai, but I'm afraid it's too white. This book is written by Yan Lugong, Yang Shaoshi and Li Xitai, and it is not necessarily the same as this to try to make Dongpo recover it. When it comes to Dongpo or seeing this book, Ying Xiao Wo is honored where there is no Buddha. " Zhu Bian's "Old News of Qu Yan": "After Dongpo's articles arrived in Huangzhou, people can't match it, only Huang Luzhi can compete; If you cross the sea in your later years, Lu Zhi will lag behind. "

It's called Poet Immortal in vain, and it's unique in ancient style; Du Shi's poems are sacred and the seven words of Tuoyu are extended; Dongpo comes out late, and every body can do it. If there is no topic, it will be better than poetry.

Style of Ci

There are more than 34 poems, Niannujiao Red Cliff Nostalgia, Shuidiao Tou When Will the Moon Be, and Dingfengbo, which are widely read.

Su Shi expanded the content of his ci, lyrical scenery writing, reasoning and nostalgia, feeling for the past, and so on. Su Shi improved the artistic conception of Ci, expanded and developed the realm of Ci, improved the style, and made bold and unconstrained Ci. Besides, there were also works that were elegant, ethereal and meaningful, and even touching and charming.

Su Shi's ci style is bold and unconstrained (Wang Guowei said "Dongpo's ci is broad-minded"), and his ci is poetic, with vigorous brushwork and distinctive personality, which shows the author's broad-minded and bright personality, full of lofty sentiments, high spirits, unrestrained feelings and rich and strange imagination.

In terms of genre and melody, Su Shi doesn't like tailoring to suit the melody, and the literary life of ci is more important than the life of music. Su Ci works are often orderly, clarifying the content of Ci, or the reason, time and place of writing Ci, with clear facts.

According to legend, when Su Shi was a bachelor of Hanlin, he asked Corporal Mu, "What's my word like Liu Qi (Liu Yong)?" Corporal Curtain replied, "Liu Langzhong's ci is only for girls of seventeen or eighteen years old, holding a red tooth board and singing' Yang Liuan's Xiao Feng Can Moon'. The bachelor's degree must be a big man in Kansai, singing' river of no return' with a brass pipa and an iron shovel. "

One is classified and co-edited, known as Dongpo's complete works.

The Dialectical Analysis of the Summaries of the Four Treasures says: "The classification and co-editing of the works started from the English version of Jushi, and the so-called complete works in the Song Dynasty used this example." It also says: "The complete works published in the Song Dynasty were engraved by Masha Bookstore."
