It's sad not to go to Li See to save wine and pretend to be crazy.
The whole world wants to kill people, and I only care about talent.
A thousand clever poems and a glass of wine.
Kuangshan reading office, it's good to be back white.
-Du Fu's "No See"
[translation]
I haven't seen Li Bai for a long time. It's pathetic that he pretends to be wild. All those people in the world want to kill him, and only I pity him for being a talent. Steven wrote thousands of poems quickly, and he lost his sadness after only one glass of wine. This is your old residence where you studied in Kuangshan. You should come back when your hair is white.
Li Bai's poems are unparalleled, and his superb creativity is far beyond ordinary people.
Li Bai's poems are the fresh wind of Yu Xin's poems and the backbone of Jun Zai's works.
Now, I am alone on the spring tree in Weibei, and you are on each side of the sun, sunset and sky in the southeast, and you can only miss.
When can we have another drink and discuss our poems?
-Du Fu's Spring Memories of Li Bai
[translation]
Li Bai's poems are unparalleled. His poetic thoughts are chic and elegant, bold and unconstrained, and his poetic style is extraordinary, which is different from ordinary people. Li Bai's poems have both the freshness of Yu Xin's poems and the elegance of Bao Zhao's works. I face the trees in spring alone in Weibei, and you look at dusk in Jiangdong, which is far apart and can only echo each other from afar. When can we have a drink together and discuss the article with you slowly?
There used to be fanatics, nicknamed immortal.
Put pen to paper shocks the wind and rain, and poetry becomes tears.
Since then, the reputation has been greatly improved, and it has not continued.
The literary talent is extraordinary and the communication will be unparalleled.
-Du Fu's "Send Li Twelve White and Twenty Rhymes"
[translation]
There was once a fanatical He Zhangzhi, who even called you a fallen fairy! Seeing you put pen to paper, the wind and rain sigh for it; Seeing your poem, ghosts and gods were moved to tears. Since then, the name of Li Bai has shaken the capital, and the previous difficulties and frustrations have been swept away. Xuanzong was called the imperial court academician; Your poems and essays, brilliant and wonderful, will be spread through the ages.
Li Bai's fighting poems,
Go to sleep in a restaurant in Chang 'an,
When the emperor called, he didn't get on the boat.
Call myself Brewmaster.
-Du Fu's Song of the Eight Immortals in Drinking
[translation]
Li Bai can write hundreds of poems in a wine fight. He goes to Chang 'an Street Restaurant to drink and often sleeps in restaurants. The son of heaven gave a banquet in the lake and asked him to preface the poem. He refused to get on the boat because he was drunk, claiming to be Brewmaster.
