He spent most of his life roaming. In the first year of Tianbao (742), under the recommendation of Taoist Wu, he was called to visit the Hanlin in Chang 'an. The style of the article became famous for a while and was quite appreciated by Xuanzong. Later, because he couldn't see the dignitaries, he abandoned his official position in Beijing for only three years and continued to wander. In the second year after the Anshi Rebellion, he felt angry and difficult, and once participated in the Lilin shogunate in Wang Yong. Unfortunately, Wang Yong and Su Zong competed for the throne. After the defeat, Li Bai was dragged into exile in Yelang (now Guizhou) and was pardoned on the way. Wandering southeast in his later years, dangtu county made Li die soon.
Li Bai's poems are mainly lyrical. After Qu Yuan, he was the first person who could really absorb its rich nutrition from the folk literature and art at that time and Yuefu folk since Qin, Han and Wei Dynasties, and concentrated on perfecting it to form his own unique style. He has extraordinary artistic talent and magnificent artistic strength. He is the most outstanding romantic poet in China after Qu Yuan, and is known as "Poet Fairy". He is as famous as Du Pu, also known as "Du Li".
2. Wang Wei, a famous Mo Mo, was a very famous poet in the Tang Dynasty. He is called Wang Youcheng because his office is a senior official.
The date of Wang Wei's birth is still a mystery. Both biographies of the Tang Dynasty recorded 665,438+0 when Wang Wei died. The New Book of Tang Dynasty says that he died in the early Yuan Dynasty, the Old Book of Tang Dynasty says that he died in July of the second year of Shang Dynasty (76 1), and Volume XIII of Records of the Buddha also says that Wang Wei died in the second year of Shang Dynasty. According to the year of death of 6 1 year, he was born in the first year of Chang 'an (70 1 year) after Wu, the same year as the great poet Li Bai. However, Wang Jin, Wang Wei's younger brother, is an official of the Prime Minister. Biographies of the Tang Dynasty all recorded that he died in the second year of Jianzhong (78 1) at the age of 82, but it was inferred that he was born in the first year of Emperor Wu IX (700), and his younger brother was born one year earlier than his older brother. According to Zhao Diancheng's Chronicle of Youcheng and Chen Tiemin's Chronicle of Wang Wei, Wang Wei was born in the first year of Chang 'an (70 1) and died in the second year of Shangyuan (76 1).
Wang Wei's native place is also controversial. The Book of the Old Tang Dynasty said that Wang Wei was from Taiyuan, Qi, and later moved to Hedong. The Intersection of the Two Poles, edited by Yao in the Tang Dynasty, said that Wang Wei was from Hedong, and Zhang Yanyuan's famous paintings in previous dynasties also said that he was from Taiyuan. According to Wang Jin, Wang Wei's younger brother, the old book in the Tang Dynasty said that he was from the River, and the new book in the Tang Dynasty said that he was from Taiyuan, a Qi people, and later lived in the River. Puji is located in Yongji County, Shaanxi Province. In the first year of Tianbao, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty (742), it was renamed Hedong County, and in the third year of Gan Yuan (760), it was promoted to He Zhongfu, so it was also called Hedong and He Zhong. It is generally believed that Wang Wei's ancestral home is in Qixian County, Taiyuan (now Qixian County, Shanxi Province) and belongs to the Wang family in Taiyuan. After he left the noble family, Li Guan was from Zhou Pu and Hedong. In this way, Wang Wei and Liu Zongyuan, a great writer and thinker later than him, are fellow villagers.
Wang Wei has been clever since he was a child. He was not only able to write poems and articles at the age of nine, but also became a famous poet between Kaiyuan and Tianbao. He also studied cursive script and official script. He is good at the rhythm of silk and bamboo, and he is good at painting. He is a versatile genius. When he was young, he became famous in the capital and was respected by the royal kings. Wang Ning and Wang Xue treat him like teachers and friends. Xue Yong, a native of the Tang Dynasty, recorded in the Collection of Different Records: "Success is weak at the end of the year, and the article is named. Exquisite temperament, wonderful pipa, wandering among nobles, especially among kings. " Wang Wei concentrated on poems such as "Teach Yang from the King of Qi", "Teach Weijiashanchi from the King of Qi's Night Banquet" and "Teach by the King of Qi's Jiucheng Palace for Summer Vacation", indicating that he did have a banquet for the King of Qi in Chang 'an. There is an interesting record about Wang Wei's application in Historical Records. At that time, there was a man named Zhang Jiugao who let people get through the back door of the princess. The princess once instructed Jing Zhao to try the official, and wanted to take Zhang Jiugao as the solution. Wang Wei will also take the initiative to discuss with Wang Qi, hoping to get Wang Qi's recommendation. However, Wang Qi's strength can't compare with the princess, and she can't compete with the princess, so she has to win the princess with Wang Wei's talent. A few days later, Wang Qi asked Wang Wei to put on gorgeous clothes, fresh and refined, and took the pipa to the princess's first house, saying that he had brought wine and music to dinner for the princess. Wang Wei is a white boy with beautiful charm, which is very eye-catching. When the princess saw it, she asked Wang Qi. "Who is this?" Wang Qi replied; "It's a musician." Let Wang Wei sing a new song for the princess. Wang Wei played the pipa in a sad tone, and the whole house was moved. The princess asked Wang Wei directly, "What is this tune?" Wang Wei got up and replied, "It's Yu Lunbao." The princess was very surprised and very happy. The king of Qi took the opportunity to say to the princess, "This man is not only good in temperament, but also better in words. No one can surpass him. " The princess was even more surprised and asked if Wang Wei had written any poems. Wang Wei took out several volumes of poetry from his arms and presented them. When the princess saw it, she said in surprise. "This is what I learned. I thought it was written by the ancients, but it was written by you! " So let Wang Wei change clothes, not as a performer, but as a guest. Wang Wei's charm and witty conversation were highly praised by all the guests in the audience. Seeing that the time was ripe, the King of Qi said, "It will be a national honor if you teach the Jingzhao government to take this person as a solution this year." The princess said, "Then why not teach him to accept the job?" Wang Qi said, "I heard that you asked me to give it to that Zhang Jiugao." The princess smiled and said, "That's because others pleaded, so I want to give it to Zhang Jiugao." Then he turned to Wang Wei and said, "If you want to take the blame, I will fully recommend you." In this way, Wang Wei was recommended again, and Wang Wei was the first to understand. This story may not be completely true, or it may be purely biographical, but it shows that Wang Wei became a great celebrity when he was young. It is a fact that Wang Weizhong is a top scholar. According to textual research, he was the number one scholar in the ninth year of Kaiyuan (72 1), at the age of 2 1.
