edited by Li Bai (a famous romantic poet in Tang dynasty)? [lǐ bái]

Li Bai (February 8, 71-December 762) [1], whose name is Taibai, was named Qinglian Jushi and also named "Xian Ren". He was a great romantic poet in the Tang Dynasty and was praised as a "poetic immortal" by later generations. It is also called "Li Du" with Du Fu. In order to distinguish it from the other two poets, Li Shangyin and Du Mu, that is, "Little Li Du", Du Fu and Li Bai are also called "Great Li Du". He is cheerful and generous, loves to drink and write poems, and likes to make friends.

Li Baiyou's "Li Taibai Ji" has been handed down from generation to generation, and most of his poems were written when he was drunk. His representative works include Looking at Lushan Waterfall, it is hard to go, Difficult Road to Shu, Going into Wine, Liang Fuyin, and Early Making a Beautiful City.

Li Bai's ci poems have been biographied by Song people (such as Wen Ying's Record of Xiang Shan Ye). In terms of their pioneering significance and artistic achievements, "Li Bai's ci poems" enjoy a very high status.

The world's evaluation of him:

Chen Xian plays with the moon map

Chen Xian plays with the moon map

Du Fu: "The pen falls to shock the wind and rain, and the poem makes the gods cry." (Send Li Twelve White and Twenty Rhymes)

Du Fu: "White poems are invincible, and they are floating in the clouds; Fresh and open, Junyi Bao joined the army. " ("Memories of Li Bai")

Du Fu: "There are hundreds of poems about Li Bai's fighting for wine, and he sleeps in a restaurant in Chang 'an. The son of heaven called and didn't get on the boat, claiming that the minister was a fairy in wine. " (Song of the Eight Immortals in Drinking)

He Zhizhang: "Death of Immortals" ("Poetry of Skill").

Wei Hao: "Bai contended with the ancients for a long time, and in three words and nine words, ghosts were fascinated." Many scholars have a high opinion of Li Bai.

su Shi: "Li Taibai and Du Zimei, with their peerless posture, have crossed over a hundred generations, and all ancient and modern poets have been abandoned. However, since the Wei and Jin dynasties, the high winds and dust have also declined less. " (After the Collection of Poems by Huang Zisi)

Han Yu: "Li Du's articles are there, and the flames are endless." (TiaoZhangJi)

In the Tang Dynasty, the literary literator gave a royal seal to Li Bai's poems and songs, Pei Min's sword dance and Zhang Xu's cursive script as "three musts".

Bai Juyi: "The poet who is also a master of poetry is called Li Du's work in the world. It' s amazing, and people can' t catch it. "

Yang Sheng 'an: Li Taibai is a poet in ancient and modern times. (Preface to Selected Poems of Zhou Shou 'an)

Yan Yu: Li and Du Ergong are just superior and inferior. Taibai has one or two beauties, and the beauty of the child can't be said; Zi Mei has one or two beauties, too white to do. The beauty of a child cannot be too white and elegant. Too white can't be depressed for the beauty of children. Taibai's "Sleepwalking in Tianmu" and "Farewell", etc., the beauty of the child can't be said. Zi Mei's "Northern Expedition", "Military Vehicle Shop" and "Farewell to the Old" are too white to do. On Li and Du as the basis of poetry, and the Emperor as the support for the princes. Shaoling's poetry is like Sun Wu's. Taibai's poetic style is like Li Guang's. (Cang Lang Shi Hua)

Wang Shizhen: Five-seven-character quatrains, Li Qinglian and Wang Longbiao are the most famous for being good at the scene, which means that there is a farewell song of Tang Dynasty. Although Shaoling is a fierce enemy, its charm is extremely unpredictable. (

Fu Ruojin: Taibai is a genius, so his poems are self-contained. Zi's aesthetics is excellent and talented, so his poems have many styles, while the planting principles are mostly weathered. After 3 poems, Zi's beauty is a masterpiece. ("Qingjiang Collection")

Gao Kun: The words of Taibai Fairy are successful in many words, so the lyrics of Yuefu are salty and good. Or that it began with an article entitled "Difficult Road to Shu", which is loved by the wise Lord. This is a pity for those who are shallow in material. Otherwise, too. The implication of white is more than. Today, his works, such as Farewell, Sauvignon Blanc, Wuqi Qu, Minggao Song, Liangyuan Yin, Tianmu Yin and Lushan Ballad, are long and short, driving momentum, almost as high as the autumn atmosphere of Nanshan. Although Shaoling still has some concessions, Yu Zi is trivial. (A Collection of Tang Poems)

Lv Juren: "The Tang Dynasty was born by Li and DUZH, and Kun Yao lived for a lifetime, and the later words of poetry were beyond reach." (

Yu Guangzhong, Preface of Jiangxi Sects: "When wine enters the luxurious intestines, seven points become moonlight, and the remaining three points become firm and gentle, and when embroidered mouth spits, it will be half a prosperous Tang Dynasty." [7]

Friends of Poetry

Revisiting Jiangdong

Li Bai left Donglu and took a boat from Rencheng to Yangzhou along the canal. Because I was in a hurry to meet Yuan Danqiu in Huiji, I didn't stay much. When he arrived in Huiji, Li Bai first went to pay his respects to He Zhizhang, who died. Soon, Kong Chao's father also arrived in Huiji, so Li Bai and Yuan Danqiu, Kong Chao's father visited Yu Cave, Lanting and other historical sites, boated in Jinghu Lake, traveled to and from Tunxi and other places, and, of course, lingered in Huiji, a bustling city. In Jinling, Li Bai met Cui Chengfu. Both of them are politically frustrated, and their feelings are more congenial. Every time I play, I enjoy swimming, regardless of the morning and evening. They went boating on the Qinhuai River and sang all night, which attracted people on both sides of the strait to be amazed and applauded for them. Because of their congenial personalities and similar experiences, the two men have more tacit understanding and deeper friendship than ordinary friends, so Li Bai tied Cui Chengfu's poems on his clothes and recited them whenever he missed them. [5]

Wang Lun's love

During the Tianbao period of Tang Dynasty, Wang Lun heard that the great poet Li Bai was living in the home of uncle Li Bingyang in Nanling, so he wrote to invite Li Bai to be a guest at home. The letter said, "How is your husband? There are miles of peach blossoms here. How's your drink, sir? There are Wanjia Hotels here. " Li Bai, who is a good drinker and smells such beautiful scenery, was glad to be invited, but he did not see the splendid scenery mentioned in the letter. Wang Lun was hospitable, moved out of the fine wine made of peach blossom pool water and drank it with Li Bai, and told Li Bai with a smile: "Peach blossoms are famous for their pool water ten miles away, and there is no peach blossom ten miles away. Wanjia, the owner of the hotel is surnamed Wan, not Wanjia Hotel. " Li Bai did not think that he was fooled. Instead, he was moved by Wang Lun's kindness. It happened in peach-trees and plum-trees blossomed, in the winds of spring, where mountains were everywhere, and the pool was deep and blue, crystal clear, and the green mountains reflected. Wang Lun kept Li Bai for several days, treated him with wine every day, and sent eight famous horses and ten official brocade at other times. Li Bai took a boat to Wancun in Dongyuan Gudu, and went to Lushan by dry road. Wang Lun gave a farewell dinner for Li Bai at the Gu 'an Pavilion, clapped his hands and set foot on it, and sang the folk song "Treading Songs". Li Bai deeply appreciated Wang Lun's kindness and wrote a poem "To Wang Lun": Li Bai was about to walk in a boat when he suddenly heard singing on the shore. Even if the peach blossom pond is so deep, it is not as deep as wanglun to see off my love.

Preface for Bai

Li Yangbing had an unusual relationship with the great romantic poet Li Bai. In Tang Suzong, Li Bai once devoted himself to the account of Yong Wang Li Lin's shogunate. Because Li Lin rose up and rebelled in Danyang and was defeated, Li Bai was implicated and sentenced to exile. Although he was granted amnesty, he was homeless and poor, and wandered to Dangtu. Li Yangbing, then the county magistrate of Dangtu, admired Li Bai's literary talent and personality. After learning what happened to Li Bai, he resolutely settled Li Bai in Dangtu and gave him many care in his life. [5] Li Bai died in Dangtu, and before he died, he entrusted his life's poems to Li Yangbing. Li Yangbing lived up to his great trust, so he re-transcribed the manuscript into 2 volumes of Caotang Collection with exquisite calligraphy, and wrote a preface for the poetry collection. Spread to the world. Li Bai's poems have been widely circulated, and besides the high ideological and artistic quality of the poems themselves, Li Yangbing's editing and sorting are also indispensable. [8]
