Li Bai (70 1-762), whose name is Taibai, is a violet layman. Originally from Longxi (now Tianshui City, Gansu Province) Ji Cheng. Born in Suiye City [1] on the Suiye River in Kyrgyzstan, it belongs to Duhu House in Tang 'an (now tokmak City, Chuhe Prefecture) and grew up in Longxian County, Mian County, Jiannan Province (now Jiangyou, Sichuan Province). It has the names of "Poet Xia", "Poet Brewmaster" and "Immortal", and it is also called Big (Small) with Du Fu.
According to the Book of the New Tang Dynasty, Li Bai is the ninth grandson of Gui Li, the King of Liang. According to this statement, Li Bai is the same clan as the kings of Li Tang, and is the same generation brother as Emperor Taizong and Li Shimin. Others say that his ancestors were Li or Li Yuanji; According to Old Tang Book, Li Bai's father, Li Ke, was appointed as the city guard.
In the third year of An Shi Rebellion (756), he felt angry and difficult, and joined Li Lin, the shogunate of Wang Yong. Unfortunately, Wang Yong and Su Zong competed for the throne and were defeated and exiled to Yelang (in today's Guizhou). I was forgiven on the way and wrote "Send Baidicheng early". In his later years, he drifted in the southeast, and soon died. Some people say that he was "born and died after drinking" (see Pi Rixiu's Poems of Li Hanlin). Others say that it was sudden death due to drinking (see Old Tang Book). It is also said that he was drunk and drowned in the lake, which has a long history and is widely circulated.
His works are imaginative, romantic, dreamy and brilliant. Poetry is like running water, just like nature itself. Li Bai's poems have been circulated for thousands of years, and many poems have become classics, such as "But since the water is still flowing, although we cut it with swords, we are more worried when we raise our glasses". Li Bai's artistic achievements in poetry and song are regarded as the pinnacle of China's romantic poetry. Li Bai's poems are included in volumes 16 1 to 185. There is a collection of Li Taibai handed down from generation to generation. Du Fu once commented on Li Bai's article like this: Putting pen to paper scares the wind and rain, and poetry makes the gods cry.
Du Fu
Du Fu (A.D. 7 12- A.D. 770) was born in Xiangyang, Han nationality, and then moved to Gong County, Henan Province. [1-2] Shaoling Yelao, a great realistic poet in the Tang Dynasty, is also called "Du Li" with Li Bai. In order to distinguish Li Shangyin, Du Mu and Xiao Du Li, Du Fu and Li Bai are also called Da Du Li, and Du Fu is often called Lao Du.
Du Fu's influence on China's classical poetry is far-reaching, and he is called "the sage of poetry" by later generations, and his poems are called "the history of poetry". Later generations called him Du Shiyi and Du Gongbu, and also called him Du Shaoling and Du Caotang.
Du Fu wrote such famous works as Spring Hope, Northern Expedition, Three Officials and Three Farewells. In 759, Du Fu abandoned his official position and went to Sichuan. Although he fled the war and lived a relatively stable life, he still cared about his life and managed state affairs. Although Du Fu is a realistic poet, he also has a wild and unruly side. It is not difficult to see Du Fu's heroism and dry clouds from his masterpiece Song of Drinking Eight Immortals.
The core of Du Fu's thought is the Confucian thought of benevolent government, and he has the great wish of "making the monarch Yao and Shun superior, and then making the customs pure". Although Du Fu was not famous during his lifetime, his fame spread far and wide, which had a far-reaching impact on China literature and Japanese literature. There are about 65,438+0,500 existing poems by Du Fu, most of which are collected in Du Gongbu Collection.
Li he
Li He (about 79 1 year-about 8 17 years), a native of Fuchang (now Yiyang County, Henan Province) in the Tang Dynasty, left behind many famous sayings throughout the ages, such as "Dark clouds crush the city and want to destroy it", "The cock crows all over the world" and "If there is love in the sky, it will be old".
At the age of 20, Li He went to the capital Chang 'an to take the imperial examination. The Tang Dynasty attached great importance to his background in imperial examinations. Because of his father's name Jin Su, the word "Jin" is homophonic with the word "Jin" of Jinshi, and he was disqualified for offending his father's name. Because of his outstanding talent, he served as a humble small official and a Li Lang, and stayed in Beijing. Li He was ambitious and arrogant, but now he has become such a small official like a servant. He felt humiliated, so he resigned from his official position and returned to Fuchang to live in seclusion.
Li He often rides a donkey and carries a worn-out toolkit to go out for inspiration. His poems are full of imagination, and he often uses myths and legends to convey his feelings, so later generations often call him a "ghost genius" and "Shi Gui", and his poems are called "the words of a ghost fairy".
Li He's long-term depression, melancholy lifestyle and poor family troubled him, which made this brilliant new star in the Tang Dynasty fall prematurely around 8 17 AD, at the age of 26. Together with Li Bai and Li Shangyin, they are called Li San in Tang Dynasty.
Wang Zhihuan
Wang Zhihuan (688-742) was a famous poet in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. His name is Ji Ling, Han nationality, from Jiangzhou (now Xinjiang County, Shanxi Province). Bold and uninhibited, he often mourned swordsmanship, and his poems were sung by musicians at that time. At that time, he often sang with Gao Shi and Wang Changling, and was famous for describing the frontier fortress scenery. Representative works include Heron Pavilion and Liangzhou Ci. His poem "The mountains cover the day, and the sea drains the golden river. But if you expand your vision by 300 miles and go up a flight of stairs, you will see a household name.
There is not much information about Wang Zhihuan's life, except that he moved from Bingzhou to Jiangzhou (now Xinjiang County, Shanxi Province) in his early years and served as the main book of Hengshui in Jizhou. Li Di, the magistrate of Hengshui County, betrothed his three daughters to him. Because of being slandered, he brushed his clothes and went to the official. "So he swam to the green hills and split the yellow ribbon." The river is thousands of miles away because of its high wind; Fifteen years at home, eating its old virtues. Elegant talk about your nobility, cool and carefree. "... later returned to China to serve as Wen 'an county magistrate, and died during his service.
Wang Zhihuan is "generous, charming and talented". He was good at writing articles and poems in his early years and was often quoted as lyrics. He often sang with poets such as Wang Changling and Gao Shi, and became famous for a while. Especially good at five-character poems, to describe the frontier scenery to win. He is a romantic poet. Jin Neng's "Epitaph of Wang Zhihuan" said that his poem "Taste or chant to join the army, chant out of the cottage, worry about the mountains and the bright moon, so small that the cold wind sounds, spread to the movement, spread to the population." But his works have only six quatrains, including three frontier poems. His poems are represented by Lusu and Liangzhou Ci. Zhang Taiyan called Liangzhou Ci "the most quatrain": "The Yellow River is far above the white clouds, an isolated city and Wan Ren Mountain. Why bother to complain about the willow, the spring breeze is only Yumenguan. "
