Introduction to Li Bai
Li Bai (701--762), courtesy name Taibai, was the most outstanding poet in the prosperous Tang Dynasty and another great romantic poet after Qu Yuan in the history of Chinese literature. He is known as the "Poetic Immortal". He has experienced ups and downs and has complex thoughts. He is not only a talented poet, but also has the temperament of a ranger, an assassin, a hermit, a Taoist, and a strategist. The three ideas of Confucianism, Taoism and Youxia are all reflected in him. "Retire after success" is the dominant thought that dominates his life.
Li Bai left more than 900 poems to future generations. These dazzling poems express his life's mental journey and are an artistic portrayal of the social reality and spiritual life of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Li Bai had lofty ambitions throughout his life, and he unabashedly expressed his yearning for fame and career. This is vividly revealed in poems such as "Yin of Liang Fu", "Reading the Letters of Zhuge Wuhou", "Letters to Cai She Renxiong" and other poems. Li Bai has been fond of being a knight since he was a boy, and wrote many poems about knights. "Xia Ke Xing" is a representative work of such poems. The political life he experienced in Chang'an for three years had a profound impact on Li Bai's creation. There was a sharp conflict between his political ideals and the dark reality, and he was filled with unspeakable pain and resentment. Out of anger comes good poetry, so he wrote a series of poems such as "The Road Is Difficult", "Ancient Style", "Reply to the King Drinking Alone on a Twelve Cold Nights", etc., to admire the ancients and make my thoughts fly; I feel sorry for my life experience, and it is difficult to let go of my sorrow. famous poem. Li Bai lived a wandering life for most of his life, traveling to many famous mountains and rivers across the country, and wrote a large number of beautiful poems praising the great rivers and mountains of the motherland, in order to express his love for freedom and desire for liberation. In this type of poem, the dangerous mountains and rivers perfectly match his rebellious and unruly character. This kind of poem accounts for a large number of Li Bai's poetic works and has been recited from generation to generation. Among them, "Dreamwalking Tianmu Yin Liu Farewell" is the most outstanding representative work. With vivid and elated poetry, the poet spread the wings of his imagination freely and wrote about various spiritual adventures and pursuits, so that the depressed and gloomy soul can be truly liberated in dreams. And the poem "An Neng can crush his eyebrows and bend his waist to serve the powerful, which makes me unhappy!" reveals the poet's pride and becomes an important basis for future generations to examine Li Bai's great personality.
